What books MUST you read every year!
see i knew i couldnt do it in one post!
well this one is a no brainer! i have to read it and watch the movie at least once!!!
I know I'm going to catch quite a bit from poeple here for this answer but I'm starting off with the Twilight Saga...
. I love it. I've read each one about 5 times except for Breaking Dawn...I've only read it twice.Next up....Dark Hunters; specifically
; I can't get enough of Kyrian.Black Dagger Brotherhood...
,,,again my obsession with Vishous (sorry Rayna...Rhev just doesn't do it for me).Some non-vamp books...
To Kill a Mockingbird...this is a classic and is currently celebrating its 50th anniversary. This is timeless and will never become outdated.
The Book Thief...a Holocaust tale told through the memories of the narrator...Death. Such imagery and plot...and humor...so touching. A must-read!
Rj....ive read the Twilight series book 1-4....4 times each. Eventhough there are things that i truly dislike about that series....i just cant get over the relationship and circumstances of those two!Plus i have to thank Meyer and that series for one thing in particular! That series got me reading again, and back into the paranormal realm! So you wont get flack from me....lol Dan on the other hand is another story but i do believe we are in the same boat.....for one exception, it doesnt make my annual to read again list....lol

No. Even though I may not like it, I would never put someone down for it. We all have different tastes and opinions. I think Rj knows that already anyway. LOL.
you will learn grasshoppa that i am just playing with you! laugh

Well, I have to agree with Rayna about Dracula.I've read that book five times so far. I think if you really love that book, then you need to get a copy of this..
It's "The New Annotated Dracula". It's Bram Stoker's original novel only annotated By leslie S. Klinger. It contains over 1500 notes on information about the book, Hundreds of illustrations including artwork, photographs, and movie posters, an introduction to the book by Niel Gaiman, and even an alternate ending!
Around Halloween, I always try to read these..
Although Edgar Allan Poe can be read at any time of the year.
And, I have not read this yet, but next December I am making this book a tradition around Christmas. A Christmas Story,my favorite Christmas movie, was based off of this book..

I agree with Tiff... I used to read and re-read all the time...now it is a true exception to do so...and I miss it!

Danny Boy! I love Edgar Allen Poe! I totally agree, you should read him throughout the year! Which is your favorite from him?

There are so many books to devour and so little time to re-read. That and I have to write on a daily basis, so re-reading always is bumped:(

Oh you like him too...cool. Well, Angela...it sounds kind of cliche, but my favorite Poe story is The Tell Tale Heart.
I love Annabell Lee, is that how he spells her name? Shame on me for not knowing. There are so many but that one is my favorite. As a matter of fact, I used that poem in one of my manuscripts:)
Mod
You are too funny Dan, and thanks for the correct spelling:)
I really like the Raven as well...what about you?
Mod
Mod
I'm letting it load as we speak, or rather type;)
Mod
Thanks Dan! I have to say though, I watch ppl's lips while they talk and so this was, shall we say, bothersome, lol. I loved it. Thanks again:)
Mod
Books to re-read are
and all the other books to this series:)
I like to keep ppl in a state of confusion, hehe.
Mod
One of my favorites Ang! Great re-read pick! I have these ones too in audio and probably have reread this series 3 times!
Oh Yes Dan! I loved it. Of course there is the love story- way better than even, dare I say, Twilight. Action upon action, tears and joy are woven in Meads masterpiece. You may enjoy it:)
Mod
Me too! I listened to the third book while I drove to OK. I had to get used to the voice over. I really didn't picture Rose' voice like that, lol.
IF you do, let me know:) This weekend I'm going to open up the YA chat and I will use this series to chat about first or Grey's Evernight series. What do y'all think?
Dan, while browsing through my recommendations I discovered this book
Ironic, don't ya think. I just added this to my tbr list. I'll let keep you posted:)How funny.
Mod
Ironic, don't ya think. I just added this to my tbr list. I'll let keep you posted:)How funny."
Just read the description. It's about Poe?
Mod
# one on my rereads list in the vampire academy series. dont know why I love that series so much but i have read it atleast 5 plus times and thats a lot for me. Dan you have been talking about poe. have you ever read Fall of the House of Usher? My grandad loved him and always wanted me to read it, but I didnt know if it was any good.
Mod
Dan you have been talking about ..."
Fall of the House of Usher was actually the first Poe story I read, the first time I picked up an E.A. Poe book. It's quite good.
I've read the first 2 in the Evernight series and keep saying I'm going to read the next two. I guess this will give me incentive to read the them. I love Vampire Academy...Dimitri (*sigh*)

Evernight to me was ok.....i havent read the last book yet.

Thanks I will have to make time to read it then :)

I'm with you I like VA better but I liked evernight too. I also haven't read the latest book by Grey. But either way it will make for a good discussion
Mod
Yes, although nothing much seems to have happened with it yet.
The movie rights have been sold to prevarication but they r still looking for a studio. But I hope so
Dan wrote: "Yes, it sounds like it. So, just curious, YA books are your favorite to read?"Yes, YA is my preferred but I do enjoy the variety as well.
Thanks, I think I'll start with VA:) RJ, I think you should finish the series...it does have pretty good shock value;) As far as Dimitri goes, well, we'll start that discussion this weekend;)
