| Summer Reading I plan on having a very relaxing summer!! I would love to hear fiction book suggestions from you all! What is something you have read lately & absolutely loved? I don't want any horror or mystery books really, unless you think it's REALLY good... My favorite book is My Best Friend's Girl by Dorothy Koomson, to give you an idea, but I like any kind of book that I cannot put down! It can be fun, serious, intense, inspiring, whatever! Can't wait to start making a list of what I will read this summer

| I think this should be fun and interesting to see what others read, and if they enjoyed the books. I read alot of paranormal fiction and paranormal romance. I always have a book in my hand or purse, drives DH crazy.

| I suggest The Hunger Games. (2nd book in the series is Catching Fire and the 3rd and final book comes out this summer.) Those books are AWESOME. A bunch of YT members recently read them and loved them. I also read The Uglies series by Scott Westerfield that another YTer suggested and thought they were great too. I also read Timeline by Michael Crieghton recently and really liked it. His stuff is kind of hit and miss with me, but I really enjoyed that one. |

| Oh how I love a good book. I just finished reading The Shack by William Young and it was totally captivating. I recently enjoyed reading One Good Dog by Susan Wilson (another great story). I will be reading The Help by Kathryn Stockett (it continues to get rave reviews). Enjoy your summer reading!

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Oh, I lovedddddddddddddd The Hunger Games and Catching Fire. I can't wait for the last in the series and then the movies to come (for sure). Great! Thank you to whoever suggested it! I read a trilogy last summer that was super good! I loaned them to a friend and haven't gotten them back yet but if you PM me.......I'll get back to you on the name and arthur. Don't you just LOVE a book that's hard to put down? I adore that sensation of feeling like I'm being sucked into the pages. You can see their shoes, houses, expression and feel their spirit. Now that's a great arthur! |

| "An American Wife" by Curtis Sittenfeld is fantastic and very well written. "Oryx and Crake" by Margaret Atwood. I'm not an Atwood fan, but this book hooked me from start to finish, and kept me thinking about it long after it was finished.

| I second The Help. It is a very good book. I also agree that Shanghai Girls and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo are very good books. I can't say enough about The Hunger Games. If you want captivating that would be the one to start with IMHO. I just finished reading Roses and it was very good. I am now reading Caught and The Lotus Eaters.

| I LOVE almost every book by Jodi Picoult. A few off the top of my head, My Sister's Keeper, The Perfect Match, House Rules, Handle With Care, Nineteen Minutes. She's definitely my favorite author.
