Jen Lancaster! I was going to suggest her two books,but Kalina82 beat me to it! (Kalina, I don't know about you,but I have never laughed out loud while reading a book more in my life than I have with hers! :D ) Jen is original and EXTREMLY funny! Her first book is "Bitter Is The New Black" and her followup is "Bright Lights Big Ass" For a taste of her writing style, I suggest you visit her blog. Just Google Jennsylvania. Happy reading! |

I have to say, The Dogs of Babel was too disturbing for me. I regret reading it and for months couldn't get some of the images out of my head. Disturbing is the only word I can think of using to describe it. I wish I had never read it :( |

It's about the belief that dogs can talk/communicate with us. A guys wife dies and the only witness is the dog. A group of people think that you can teach dogs to put together words, even going so far as to surgically alter their jaws to make them more human like and make speech easier(ICK!). This is the part that haunts me, the description of the scene where they bring in the poor animal that's had surgery was horrifying to me. |
As Sure As The Dawn....Voice In The Wind....An Echo In The Darkness These are the names of a trilogy of books by Francine Rivers, Mark of the Lion series. She tells in a very personal way, of the times set in ancient Rome and dealing with the travails and triumphs of early Christianity. They are excellently written and not 'dry' informational books. |
I'm a huge fan of Thriller Novels! Jeffrey Deaver James Patterson (Try the Maximum Ride Triology - :thumbup: ) Harlan Coben Alex Kava Jonathan Kellerman Greg Iles Dean Koontz (Try the Thomas Odd series - LOVE the character!) |

Other great books I've read recently: A Million Little Pieces The Time Traveler's Wife A Thousand Splendid Suns Dear John (Nicholas Sparks) Dear Zoe Angela's Ashes Marley and Me That's all I can remember right now... I've been reading like crazy this year. Went through a big legal suspense kick and everything John Grisham as well. |
After reading 'Kite Runner', I thought it was 'too much'. It brought out things we need to be aware of but it seemed like 'Hey, if I put this and this in the book I know people will like it because they like to read this kind of stuff and it will make me seem great.' But it is a great recommendation! |
I recommend reading Christine Feehan books (Dark Series and Nightwalker series), Sherri King (series), Laurell K. Hamilton (series), and Angela Knight You should read CF dark series over 26 books in the series and they are toe curling good! |
