Ive read almost all Dean Koontz books, been reading him for 20 years probably! I love his books, but his Odd Thomas series is not that good, those books to me, in comparison to others he wrote, are almost like he churned them out too fast, the style writing with the back & forth one word and hard to keep track of whose talking just kind of turned me off to him.

If you enjoy Dean Koontz though, here's a GREAT one! One of the best Ive ever read. Kind of makes you wonder if it could be real too, which makes it even more of a psychological thriller!

False Memory Dean Koontz

I am reading Mignon G. Eberhart's Storm Warning and just ordered Katie Up And Down The Hall, the book about the NYC apartment-dwelling blonde cocker girl.

Some other good books I've read lately:
The Enclave (#1 in the Razorland series) and Divergent (#1 in that series too) --both dystopians, kind of like Hunger Games if you're into that

I actually have The Game of Thrones Series sitting on my shelf calling my name, but I have not had the time to throw myself into a series like that lately, so I'm waiting until I have more time to start those.

Although the Mortal Instrument series is YA, I love it too! I can't wait for the next book either.

I love utopic style stories.

I watch the Game of Thrones series. I don't know if I could get into the books by now. lol

I just bought my mom some new Mary Higgins Clark and Nora Roberts books for her birthday, and I am looking forward to borrowing them from her for some summer reading!

At first it took me awhile to see what the fuss was about. I did enjoy the books but realized that I liked it because the writing was different. Not your everyday "romance" style books.

Sounds almost like the movie "50 First Dates" lol and I love that movie.

Has anyone read the Black Dagger Brotherhood series from J.R. Ward? She is an awesome writer! I love all her characters.
Also for those of you who like the Twilight series, please read Jeaniene Frost's "Night Huntress" series. It is way better and it's an adult book.

I just finished the 3rd book in The Game of Thrones. I really am enjoying them. I don't typically ready fantasy books, but the HBO series got me hooked.

I read pretty much every James Patterson book that he puts out and even started reading his collaborating authors books Andrew Gross most recently.

I just downloaded the Fifty shades trilogy haven't started it. Did you like them?

I seem to really like book series because everything I read seems to be in a series... lol

I read the Fifty Shades books, but honestly I don't see the rave reviews on them. I never thought that I would tire of sex....but they really ran it into the ground. I guess the characters grew on me because I did feel compelled to finish and see how their relationship ended up.

I just finished reading The Girl Who Played With Fire...I really enjoyed it...honestly thought it was better than The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I downloaded the Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest this morning.

Also enjoyed Hunger Games, but way too easy to read...finished the three books in a week.

I think that is what kept me reading on. I really wanted to see what kind of happy ending he would be getting.

But seriously go read the Black Dagger Brotherhood series.

Oh and how Hunger games was for you the Twilight series was for me. I read all 4 books in 5 days. lol

I did the same with the Twilight series as well!

After I finish this series I am on I will look at the Black Dagger Brotherhood...never heard of it.

BTW does anyone know of a really good true crime story? I been itchin' to read one of those. The last one I read was Perfect Victim. (Girl in the box) I want to read something along those lines.

I was given 2 huge bags of "Romance" books. I never thought I would get tired of reading that genre. lol

I have been waiting for the latest paperback in the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. I look forward to this every May when the new book is issued in hardcover, so the paperback is from last year's hardcover. I've been reading the whole series the last three years, and will miss them when the author ends them next year.

I just finished the 2nd in the Fifty Shades trilogy, and I was going to take a break to read something else, but they ended on a damn cliffhanger and I don't know if I am going to be able to wait to see what happens.

The other two books I bought were Wedding Cake for Breakfast (which is humorous essays on the first year of marriage), and The Beck Diet Solution, which everyone says is a must-read in the diet world.

I just read it and it was awesome! I get so excited when I get them (I preorder through Amazon), but then I read them all in like a day! It's wonderful receiving each new book, but so disappointing when they're over!

I have my austic son reading to me....he loves to read, and has to read out loud or he can not remember what he has read...so he reads to the dogs at night, and I have him read to me....make it seem like I love to have books read to me (which I really do!!)...so now I have him reading the series, The Borrowers"....he is really enjoying the books and the story....and I enjoy listening to him read! At night, or when I am reading to myself, I am usually reading books on genetics and genome tagging for specific diseases that afflict our precious babies.....following GME research, as well as liver shunts and Legg-Perthes.....wish I could be actually doing hands on research in these fields...so interesting!
