Heather I use to read the Goosebumps series, I loved those books, and I love Dean Koontz, I haven't read One Door Away From Heaven yet. Sounds like you got some other good books.

I just saw a ton of people recommend him and to me it sounds pretty great! I am mainly trying to collect them all and read them once I get them all haha do they still write that series?
My UBS is having a crazy sale. Got a few and I am going back later. What I got today, The Christmas Box, The Letter, Timepiece, Save Me, Look Again, and Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter.

You know I'm not quite sure, I've always wondered the same thing. My favorite books by Dean Koontz are Intensity and Lightning.

I am going to start collecting all of his books and reading them! Those will definitely be on the list then, I am going to research if the goosebumps series is still being written!

No problem! I love seeing the deals and books that everyone acquires. We're diverse, yet have many books in common, and I think it's wonderful that we encourage one another!
Heather wrote: "I got a Dean Koontz book because of this group!"I love most of Koontz's earlier books, like The Voice of the Night and The Bad Place. Fear Nothing is another favorite of mine.
Heather wrote: "Dustin I haven't read any of his books but I plan to read them all!"Wow, you're very ambitious!
Dustin wrote: "Heather wrote: "How many books has he written?"Oh, at least 60, I think. He is very prolific!"
ahhhh there is no way possible I will read all of them then lol

Not too worry, you have many years ahead of you, if you desire to tackle them all. And no one says you'd have to read them back-to-back.

Haha that is true and my boyfriend is getting me a Barnes & Noble giftcard for my birthday so I will be buying books for sure!

Awesome! gift cards are the absolute best presents, IMO. When is your birthday, BTW, if you don't mind me asking?

August 6th so next wednesday!
Very cool! I'm sure I'll see you around before then, but if not, happy (early) birthday. My step mother's birthday is the 9th, and mine's the 21st!

My step mother's birthday is the 9th, and mine's the 21st!"I will be on here that afternoon because I have marching band camp all day. I actually am meeting my boyfriend on the 9th for the first time!
Oh, you've never met your boyfriend? That must be nerve wracking! Okay, cool. Do you enjoy band camp?
No, but we have talked in the past and he lives in the town next to mine about 15 minutes away. I do really enjoy band camp. I have been in marching band ever since my 7th grade year and I will be a senior this year!
Ah, how sweet! I sincerely hope he treats you well. Good, I'm glad you have enjoyed it for years.:) Oooh, senior year, eh? Try not to stress too much.

It's a great school just the teachers and students make me so mad!

Hey I totally understand, I had the same problem. I didn't hate school in general, just the way it was run. But I'm glad you like your school.
Heather wrote: "I will try my best not to stress out! I love my school but I am ready to get out of there!"I know that feeling!
Victor wrote: "I just got Elixir in the mail. I didn't expect to get a manuscript, but it's actually pretty cool."Way to go, Victor! It seems like everyone's reading Elixir. My copy should be here in couple days, I can't wait.:)

Oooh, Lolita's one that's been on my TBR for a long time. I hope you enjoy them, Kimberly!
Just bought Airport and Her Royal Spyness, as both are currently on sale on Amazon (for Kindle) for just $1.99 (have been wanting to try the Spyness series for awhile, and Hailey's always a good bet) ... and recently have also bought Horns, Painted Hands: A Novel, Dark Victory: The Life of Bette Davis, and Saint Closes the Case, The - though am also reading Zom-B Underground from the library, as well as just got word in that my copy of Mr. Mercedes is ALSO in at the library!In other words, the TBR list just never, ever ends, does it??
For my Nook I just bought We Were Liars, Between Shades Of Gray, Hush Hush, The Academy, Perfected, Wonder, Silence, Crescendo, and Finale
Yesterday I was lucky enough to go with my mum to a secondhand book shop. Book shopping with my mum is always something that I love as it brings back childhood memories. We always went when I was young and it was a special time for both of us. To make matters even better this time we had my niece come with us so three generations of bookworms. Got some really lovely books from this haul and some that just looked good. Ironically only one of these was from my wish list.
All these were classic hardcovers which look lovely on my shelf
Oliver Twist
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
Around The World In 80 Days
The Three Musketeers
Moonfleet - remember reading this at school as a child
The Time Machine
Paperbacks
Kelly Holmes: Black, White & Gold - My Autobiography
Dust
