All i can say is LOL to Elde..."
I read that in one day becuase I didn't want to stop and then have to pick it up six months later! Blah.

I know! There's nothing wrong with the book, but you just can't get into it!! It's annoying beyond what's normal. I feel like the books just aren't getting my attention like they used to.



What about science fiction? I noticed an appalling lack of science fiction in your reading. You could start with Dune. It's not one of my personal favorites, but many people have enjoyed it.

Most of your booklist is not my cup of tea, but I would suggest ... Magic's Pawn - Mercedes Lackey.
And you might want to read The Lost Symbol before they make the movie.

I've been on a historicals binge, reading all things Julie Garwood. I'm just about through with her books and then I'm going to read The Madness of Lord Ian MacKenzie which I see you have on your list. I've heard only wonderful things about this. If you want to read that one, I'll be happy to discuss the book with you... a buddy read if you like. I will be starting it probably on Monday.

It's really weird for me, because I LOVED Eragon. The only reason I'm still reading it is because I'm emotionally attached. I just wish it would pass by faster.

And I literally just finished The Lost Recipe for Happiness a few minutes ago, though to be honest I really don't know what to think of it.
I'm in the middle of a few books:
A Great Kisser
Red-Hot Summer
Wanton Fire
so I'm going to attempt to read some more of one of those, so long as I don't get distracted by something else!

I know. I thought Eragon was amazing. And now his books seemed to go slowly.

It's pretty good so far, kinda boring though."
I had trouble with this one."
What do you mean you had "trouble"? like you couldn't read it because it was boring? lol

It was hard to get into. Slow, boring... but I kept reading it, hoping for something that made sense. Something that felt like there was really a reason behind the story, like... (I don't want to give anything away here) something compelling. I never found it.

Never? really? that's really good to know haha.

Yes,really. Hopefully you'll enjoy it more than I did.

So now it's back to Superstition, which I hope to finish soon, unless Sizzle (Julie Garwood) or Fired Up (Jayne Ann Krentz) arrvies in the mail tomorrow :)

I hope so too.


I finished Dead to the World this morning and so I started on What-the-Dickens The Story of a Rogue Tooth Fairy. So far I'm enjoying it, more lighthearted the Eye...lol.




I will start Something Borrowed tonight, I hope this one cheer me up, I feel so depressed.



It was in a bag of donation books at the nuthouse.

Oh and yes I'm STILL reading Eye of the World...
I have been really bad lately, and have hardly read anything. I just finished reading With Seduction in Mind, which is a historical romance novel.
I am at a loss on which book I should read next...Anyone have any suggestions? I have a shelf called "own to read" and another one called "own-nook", which are the books I own. If anyone wants to take a look and suggest some I'd be grateful, because I can't make up my mind! lol

I greatly enjoyed reading Mercy Thompson books. Hang in there with the Eye of the World. It's well worth it!

I'm really enjoying them as well, I just started the second one (Blood Bound). I'm going to finish Eye I'm just not in much of epic fantasy mood.

So I was bored at work (bad I know) and went through your own to read shelves. Since you haven't been in the mood to read much lately I would go withUglies. Mainly because it is a good book, with interesting ideas, but also that you can fly through fairly easily.
A little bit more intense, but an amazing read is The Golden Compass.
Also, for my own personal gain I'm curious about The Lost Symbol. I'm not sure if I have even added this to my to read list yet. I really liked Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code, both of them were such interesting ideas, but I read some of his other works Deception Point and another one and found he's only really semi creative, because he has close to the same story over and over again. And his writing isn't really good enough for that. So if you would like to read that and give me your opinion that would be helpful. hahaha.





I am currently reading "Power Lines" by Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Scarborough, "Prey" by Rachel Vincent, "The Willows and Beyond" by William Horwood, "The Prince" by Macchiavelli and "Kissing Sin" by Keri Arthur... Yes, I always read a few books at a time as I never know what my mood will be.
