My main goal is to read most of unread books that I already own before i buy more but that is difficult when there are so many good books out there.

good start to the year! I hope you're enjoying Sookie :)

Thanks Allison! I am really enjoying the Sookie books. I can't wait until the next one comes out.

13. From Dead to Worse by Charlaine Harris
14. Blue Bloods by Melissa de la Cruz

Oh how was Blue Bloods? Everytime I log on Amazon they tell me to purchase it!

Blue Bloods was okay. It was a good story idea but I don't think that it fully lived up to its potential. It seemed like Gossip Girl meets vampires. I am going to read the next book to see if it gets better.

15. Masquerade by Melissa de la Cruz
16. Revelations by Melissa de la Cruz

17. One For The Money by Janet Evanovich

18. The Queen's Fool by Philippa Gregory
19. Forever Princess by Meg Cabot

How is the queen's fool? Have it form the library more than a month and still didn't start it.

Jeane - I have read The Other Boleyn Girl and the Boleyn Inheritance and I really enjoyed them. The Queen's Fool was not as good as these books. It started out slow but it did get better towards the middle of the book.

20. Hunted by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast

21. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

Was Revelations the third one of the series? I read the other two, but didn't read that one. How was it? Did you like Hunted? I loved the Book Thief. I am reading his I am the Messenger now.

Vicki, Revelations is the 3rd Blue Blood book. It was ok. All of those books are really quick reads but they are not my favorite vampire books.

Hunted seemed like a book that sets up the plot for the rest of the series so it seemed that not much happened in the book.

I really liked the Book Thief. I find that since I finished the book I have been thinking about it for the past few days. You will have to let me know how I am the Messenger is.

22. Watching Baseball Smarter by Zack Hample

23. Two for the Dough by Janet Evanovich

24. Because I'm Worth It by Cecily Von Ziegesar

Hey Kristen, looks like you make a good progress. How many books until you "may" buy new ones?
How did you like everyone worth knowing? I read the devil wears prada and chasing harry winston. everyone wirth knowing is definitly my next chick-lit piece ;o)

Thanks 3rdfloor! I have not been good with the not buying books thing. Buying books is like an addiction. Everyone Worth Knowing was okay. I found the book to be very similar to the Devil Wears Prada. I have not read Chasing Harry Winston yet. Was that a good one?

38. Dead and Gone by Charlaine Harris - I need the next Sookie Stackhouse book to come out soon. I don't like loose ends!

I want to read the Sookie Stackhouse books too!

And what was your thoughts about the L. F. Stolartz books? I´m reading the Blue is for Nightmares series.

Carol: You should definitely read the Sookie Stackhouse books, they are so good and once you start you won't be able to stop until you have read them all.

I did not really like Deadly Little Secret by Stolartz. To me it seemed like a blatant rip off of Twilight but not done nearly as well. How is the Blue is for Nightmares series though?

Bad for the Stolartz book.

I read the Blue is for Nightmares and I´m waiting for me White is for Magic to arrive in the mail. The first one I liked, it´s very light reading, the main girl is funny and all the wicca things are treated naturally, I´m looking for the 2nd book cause people say the last 3 is actully a series, the first one is more like a stand alone just to introduce the main character

39. Graceling by Kristin Cashore

Do you think Little Women is a good gift for a nine year old girl, or too advanced?
thanks
Sharon

Carol: I will have to check out the Blue is for Nightmares series because I have heard that they are good.

Sharon: I remember reading Little Women was I was 13 years old so I think that a nine year old could probably read it.
