Has anyone here read it? Thoughts?

Try Swan Song by Robert MacCammon..EXCELLENT..on the same lines!

Has anyone here read it? T..."
I read it years ago in my stephen king-phase! I actually think this is his best book (next to green mile) and it is back in my TBR file on the kindle :o) it is not quite as spooky as some of the rest. I know it is a really thick book, so can be a bit long winded at points esp with loads of characters getting introduced at the beginning - but it's really good!
Enjoy it!





And I looovve my Kindle!! I've converted awhole slew of people to get one. Lol, I should be a salesperson!!
:), Kelly


I enjoyed that one. Hope you like it too!

Accidents Waiting to happen was a pretty good bookAccidents Waiting to Happen. I enjoyed reading it. Catching Fire is already good but I expected that since the first book was good and everyone raves about the hunger games series (YA books)
Catching Fire




Her other two books are really good too. Boink and Spook


Also reading some psychology books for marketing which are really interesting.
Cheers!

Now I'm reading Maya's Vacation by Rebecca Farrell. Bought this at the 4th of July sale for Astraea Press going on at Amazon: price .99. This is a clean romance which I'm enjoying. In fact I bought tons of books on this sale. I think today is the last day if you want to check them out.


Im reading The Group by Mary McCarthy.. written in the early 60's but set in the 30's in Manhattan. Its for my local book group and to be honest didnt think it was my kind of book. Its about a group of Vassar female graduates and how their lives pan out.. as one reviewer says.. the original Sex and the City. Its well written and quite engaging actually. One of the good things about reading it on my kindle is that there are a surprising number of words that I have never heard of before so I can immediately look them up in the 'dictionary'.

I'm now onto an indie book called The Wrath of Kings and Princes which is a fun fantasy book. I'm also looking to read the "Mortal Instruments" series because I'm a huge YA fan. (Which makes sense since I write YA fiction...)

I hope you really like it! I enjoyed the first one and the second one is a bit jucier - just how I like it!! Happy reading!
Just finished A Stolen Life by Jaycee Dugard, now I'm reading A Dance with Dragons by George RR Martin

I just read where George RR Martin sold 110,000 ebooks (out of a total of 298,000 books sold) on his FIRST DAY. There's obviously some pent-up demand.


I just finished that one myself! Enjoyed it. Creepy, but good!"
it was deliciously creepy!

I'm currently reading The Red Tent

Prior to that, I caught up on some mysteries on my pile, the genre I most frequently read since I write them, too. I've read the following in July and recommend them all, though they all have very different tones:

Death and the Lit Chick: A St. Just Mystery


I've got some catching up to do on Deanna's series, too!


I really don't think of the Lady Julia Grey books as romances. I would call them mysteries instead. The Kenya book sounds VERY interesting! I'll have to be on the lookout for it.




Christine Dwyer Hickey, Last Train from Liguria
Mary Hooper, Petals on the Wind



I am now reading some school books and finishing up Sixteen Brides
