Added another book to the list called Gray Matter, by Gary Braver. I have had this book forever and it looked at me last night and beckoned for me to take it off the shelf. Ok so it was not that dramatic, but close.

Kathryn (kcanty313) | 1870 comments Janie, I believe books beckon us! That's why I'm reading Different Seasons! :)

Yay! Hope you enjoy it Kathryn. I must look to see if the book store has Different seasons and Skeleton Crew, I need both of those collections.

Donna (missdonnam) | 3 comments I Have recently purchased Neil Gaiman's The Ocean at The End of The Lane, Coelho's Manuscript Found in Accra(which is by far my favorite book among his works), Sweet Tooth by Ian McEwan and I am excitedly looking forward to the biggest book fair here in the Philippines. It'll be swarmed with people and everyone'll be drowned in books. :)

Kathryn (kcanty313) | 1870 comments Today with Janie I bought, Swan Song by Robert McCammon because I've been looking for that for over a year! I also bought the first book in the Kathryn Dance series by Jeffery Deaver, The Sleeping Doll. Janie also gave me a hardback of The Passage.

LOL Rachel, I did my homework this time before I bought The Face of Deception. While I was at the UBS with Kathryn I noted that they had almost the whole series.

I enjoyed Endless night Lee! it was good. It is the Laymon book right? I hope you enjoy it.

Donna you should totally join us on the Sleeping Doll read. Deaver is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. And I really enjoy the Kathryn Dance character.

Awesome! I'm still hoping to find a copy on one of my book trips one day :D

Today though, I found a pretty good paperback of 1984 1984 by George Orwell , though it has a lil peeled spot on the cover that was covered by a sticker, and a brand new paperback of A Game of Thrones A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, #1) by George R.R. Martin , figure if I don't like it I can always swap it, and a nice hardback copy of The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by Stephen King , which I've been looking for to send to my friend who I'm wanting to get to try King. Plus a stack of books for my kid and her daughter. Not a bad adventure this evening :)
