Jealous...I wanted to get it yesterday but it was 30 dollars and I have a budget right now.

I am a fan of Robin Cook and am currently reading Chromosome 6; if I could, I would read it cover to cover in one sitting--but life interferes. I load up at book sales and have four more Cook novels waiting in the wings.

I just started re-reading by Dean Koontz. I read a lot of his novels in the early 2000s, but Cold Fire is the only one I've kept on my bookshelf all of these years. It will be interesting to see how well the story holds up upon a second reading.

[Christen]

I am reading Rourk by Julia Crane right now. :)

'salem's lot by Stephen King. ^_^

I'm currently reading Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay. I loved the first four seasons of Dexter on Showtime but was annoyed by many factorsーthe main being that Dexter did not display the characteristics of a person with antisocial personality disorder that would be dangerous and kill. Everyone complains about the books but I don't trust others' that easily. Dexter season five and on was horrible. I hope that the books get better! So far this one is okay I love that its like reading a whole different story and that he actually IS acting as a serial killer would. We'll see. I've been looking for a title that would suck me in immediatelyーti read on the side because Dexter hasn't sucked me in yet. Any suggestions??. I'm open to any suggestions!!!!
But I want one of those books that you would not expect to be good but is immediately addictive (:

A book I found highly enjoyable was Abduction by Robin Cook. It's a departure from his usual novels about medical situations, but I was sorry when it was over.

[Aiesha]

I finished book 5 of Karin Slaughter's Grant County series, Faithless and have now started on the very last book of this series, Beyond Reach . So far, it's great! I can't wait to get deeper into it.

I am new to this group. A friend of mine gave me an advance copy of True North: The Shocking Truth About Yours, Mine and Ours. She knew I have always loved the old movie with Lucille Ball and she thought I would find this book interesting. At first, I was shocked to find out that the true story of this family was quite the opposite than was portrayed in the movie. But as I am reading, I am very moved by the courage of the author to share his story as well as his journey toward healing.

Coming from an abusive family in the 1960s myself, this book is proving to be both cathartic and inspirational! Guess those "perfect families" I grew up watching and envying were actually in the same boat as me...hmmmmmm

I agree.....I generally find that the film is never as rich as the book. Hollywood seems to always make a watered down version.

I am reading Running with Scissors

I finished book 5 in the Quincy/Rainie series by Lisa Gardner last week. Gone was very suspenseful, however, not the most realistic when it came to the "action" scenes. It was also pretty predictable, which was disappointing but all in all, it was still enjoyable.

While I wait for the last book of the series, Say Goodbye, to become available at the library, I am reading Ricochet, which so far, is fabulous!!! This is my first book by this author and I'm LOVING her writing style! I feel like I'm watching a movie as I'm reading. The dialogue and the descriptions are great! I'm quickly becoming a fan of Sandra Brown!!

Clover Doves by Courtney Filignezi

Struggling towards the light

Emma Fiorello is sixteen and deeply in love with Eric Florentino, a bright and caring, but wayward youth. They have a very special connection which Emma felt virtually as soon as they met. According to Emma they are “soul mates”. Eric knows what she means, but is perhaps a little less ‘spiritual’ in his outlook. Life is fresh and good, but Emma also senses that perhaps she and Eric will not stay together. Suddenly Emma is attacked and raped and her life begins the swift process of falling apart. Can Emma survive this turmoil and will she and Eric struggle through it, or will the premonition of relationship break-up come true?

Clover Doves could be classified as a paranormal romance: it is a love story with references to precognition, empathic telepathy and ghosts. The novel is, however, also part spiritual philosophy and part self-development/psychology. This is not to imply that Clover Doves is overly ‘preachy’ or contains lectures on these subjects: the philosophy and psychology arise naturally from the plot and characters, and are quite skilfully woven into the novel. It is clear, though, that Filigenzi has done much reading and thinking about the subject of human potential. Beyond these specialized subjects the novel is also very much about ‘ordinary’ life struggles: family, friends, love relationships, suffering, conflict and death. Clover Doves is skilfully written and will appeal to a quite wide variety of readers, especially those willing to keep an open mind.

Frank Herbert's Dune. It's a classic that I never got around to reading until recently. Loved the movie and the mini-series. Now it's time for the real thing.

I am in the midst of Chapter 19 in the book called Vampire Empire Book One: The Greyfriar. It is really good. It's hard to put down and if it comes to a movie I will be the first to get a ticket to see it lol!

Delighting In Your Company by Blair McDowell – Book Review
5 out of 5 stars


Past suffering and future bliss?

Amalie Ansett is a busy working professional who part owns an advertising agency in Los Angeles. California. She has just suffered a painful break-up of her marriage and while cleaning her family home, which is now on the market, she discovers an unopened letter to her mother from a previously unknown cousin, Josephina Ansett. Josephina lives on St. Clements, a small island in the Caribbean. The letter invites Amalie and her mother, who is now deceased, to a visit on the island. Sorely in need of a break Amalie decides to go. Imagine her surprise when, while touring on St. Clements she learns of another Amalie Ansett, who lived in the early 1800s, and who looks remarkably like her twenty-first century descendent. Life takes on an even stranger turn when Amalie is visited by the ghost of Jonathan Evans, the 1810 lover of the Amalie of the past. Jonathan died in strange, unexplained circumstances and asks for Amalie’s help to solve the mystery.

Blair McDowell’s Delighting In your Company is an exciting, action packed novel of the paranormal romance/erotica genre. Much more than this, though, the book gives a glimpse of life in the early 1800s, especially for women and slaves. Most of all this is a novel about Amalie’s need to come to terms with her very present and very ‘real’ life problems.

I am currently reading Sentence of Marriage and from the title you could guess that it is not a happy, joyful, romantic book. So if you want something gleeful, Stay Away. So far so good. The way nature is described is amazing ans there is a bit of humor every here now and then.

[Aiesha]

I finished the Quincy/Rainie series by Lisa Gardner and although I did enjoy the series, I didn't care of the final book, Say Goodbye. I did NOT like the subject matter of the book and the series ended up focusing too much on Kimberly and not enough on Quincy & Rainie!

I have now started reading the Nikki Heat series by Richard Castle. It's a short series of only 4 books and it starts with Heat Wave. So far, so good. I'm loving Nikki Heat's character & personality!

[Sunny]

Started Cannery Row by John Steinbeck. I may have found a new favorite author.

The Hidden Realms of Firestone by Linda M. David -
Book Review by Susan McMichael – 4 out of 5 stars

Volcanic Lava Logs and an awesome holiday...

A mysterious figure is looking at a featureless wall.... then Agathea Fulstropp arrives with the bang of the car door. She doesn't want to go on holiday seeing things: “I want to go the beach with granddad.” She knows quite well where she wants to go: to school, on another planet and her parents aren't going to stop her. However, lots of other people have plans for Thea and she is kidnapped....

Who has kidnapped her? Where is she? Returned to the school with little knowledge of what happened Thea is simply delighted to be back. All, however, is not well, with a new girl spoiling everything. Will Thea ever again be friends with Annalije? Will she be able to find out who kidnapped her, before she is kidnapped again?

Linda M. David's The Hidden Realms of Firestone is an engrossing Fantasy/Science-Fiction book for teenagers. It will also appeal to those teenage readers who enjoy the School Story genre. Beyond this David’s novel can be read and greatly appreciated by adults who wish to recapture a little of their youth.

I'm reading "Dolores Claiborne" by Stephen King. I'm intrigued by the way he's written it - there don't appear to be separate chapters and it's presented as a woman's statement as she's interviewed by the police. So far, it's an interesting read.

[[deleted user]]

I'm currently reading "A River Runs Through it" by Norman Maclean. Among other books.

[Ayah]

I am reading Settling the accounts ( Promises to keep#3) such a realistic read! I got to connect with the main characters strongly hence I am reading the third book in the series.
