An easy read for tonight, then two more for fun of corse
1. charmed by Carrie mac (easy read)

and





Why did you think Heart-Shaped Box was exhausting?
I was a bit disappointed with the book because I thought it was going to be scarier. Minus about a hundred pages or so in the middle, I thought it moved along pretty quickly and all.

This is just not my typical genre.
It did move quickly though.






I really enjoyed Eragon. There are currently 3 more books in that series. It was supposed to be a trilogy, but when the 3rd book came out, it turned into a 4 book series. I hate when they do that!
Ella Minnow Pea is on my TBR list. I am going to have to request it at my libary since I can't ever find it on the shelf.
I am currently reading Dracula and Creed for the 3rd Millenium. I am almost finished with Dracula. I had to start the other book last night to prevent nightmares. Vampires get into my dreams every time.

Jamie: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close was fantastic and heartbreaking. I was in a book slump for awhile after reading it because nothing was as good.
I just started Motherless Brooklyn tonight, but I'm only about 20 pages in.

I would definitely recommend it to those reading EL&IC. His writing style just amazes me all the time.

now I've started Glass Houses the first book of the morganville vampire series by rachel caine.
but this morning I've received extremely loud. will be my next read

althugh I do like horror I agree whit you exausting is a good word to describe heart shaped box.

Next something totally different A Field of Darkness by Cornelia Read (goodreads author).


Courtney how is the book Good in Bed? I have seen it in the bookstore many times but haven't bought it.....yet...lol

I'll pipe in because Good in Bed is one of my favorite books ever.
Loved it!
Hope Courtney likes it too!!

By the way - anyone who loved Marley & Me and has not read The Art of Racing In The Rain - Garth Stein - will be in for a real treat.



And Cynthia, I loved A Field of Darkness, very good book.





But nexT I am going to read The Last Lecturer and then Two Lives by Vikram Seth!



and I will be starting Grace by Richard Paul Evans.


Good thing it is going to be cold and rainy all weekend, perfect weather to be inside under a blanket with a good book.

Faithless - Karin Slaughter
Almost Moon - Alice Sebold
Lost Souls - Neil White
Hollywood Wives - Jackie Collins.
But I am going to try & finish Faithless asap.


STILL reading Frankenstein BUT,
I have a very funny story.
I was on YA for Obama, you know, talking to Chelsea, Genevieve and Gabriella, chatting like usually and suddenly Genevieve mentions Harry Potter. I say I haven't read it, they all TALK LIKE THIS for about five minutes. And now, I've agreed to this reading order for November:
Frankenstein
Suite Scarlet (Maureen Johnson's book that I REALLY need to read)
The Hobbit
Devilish (another MJ book)
Pride and Prejudice
Harry Potter.
I WASN'T EVEN PLANNING ON READING HP!
I have a love/hate relationship with my YA for Obama friends. :D
