Yes, that was a great book!!!

I'm currently reading Twice Kissed by Lisa Jackson....about halfway through it and it is wonderful!

My fav authors are Lisa Jackson, Sandra Brown, Erica Spindler, Dean Koontz, and Patricia Cornwell.

My favorite of all time is The Fountainhead by Ann Rand. Not a light read but it really made me reevaluate my own values and the way they are formed. Great, great book! I actually read A LOT! 2-3 books a week. I really like Dean Koonz so sorry to hear you're not liking it much. I read a lot of Florida authors. Anything by Carl Hiassan or Tim Dorsy will have you laughing out loud. Right this minute I'm reading (FL author) James W. Hall's Hard Aground. He writes mysteries and they're always good fast reads. WHen I'm really in a vapid mood I love Sophie Kinsella. She writes hillarious books about women that are super fast reads. Even if you don't love reading, if you are a girly girl you'll love her.

Had to edit to include one of my very favorite FL authors who I forgot- Randy Wayne White

Love those too!

Currently, my "downstairs" book is Time and Chanceby Sharon Kay Penman (I really like her!) and my "upstairs book" is Plum Island by Nelson DeMille. Then of course, there's the audio book in my car...it's something by Mary Higgins Clark this week

I read a lot of different types of books, whatever catches my eye...

BTW, I've returned to school (my second semester back starts next week) and I'll be taking 21 credits this fall,

don't think I'll be reading much but text books then!

Wonder if I'll find time to read YT????

They're my two favorite authors! The first book I ready by NS I cried so hard!!! I thought there's NO WAY a man wrote that. He's a pretty sensitive guy!

And SB is great. She's a Texan, and writes about Texas a lot, so I can relate to a lot of the places in her books. (And they're great stories!)

Sadie's Mom · 08-28-2006, 07:03 AM

I'm reading Wicked by Gregory Maguire (the one that was turned into a Broadway show). To be honest, I'm having trouble getting into it. I'd heard how great it is, but I'm not as into it as I thought I'd be. But it's ok.

Thanks for your suggestions. I love "East of Eden" also, it's one of my favorite books. I read some of Oprah's book club books and really liked Anita Shreve books, and White Oleander. I like Dean Koontz and Anne Rice too. I also like to read anything I can get my hands on about Yorkies and dogs. I will be heading to the library to try out some of your suggestions. Thanks!!!!

I've read both of those and they're great!

Wow! Three books going at once- you've gotten me beat! I thought I was a reader!

my2boyz · 08-29-2006, 07:04 AM

My Bible is always at hand, of course, but I'm currently doing some research so I'm reading Hearts and Hands...it's a book about women, quilts and American Society...by Elaine Hedges, Pat Ferrero and Julie Silber...it's very interesting. After that it will probably be Vintage Quilts, Identifying, Collecting, Dating, Preserving and Valuing by Bobbie Aug, Sharon Newman and Gerald Roy. I know...not too interesting to some but antique quilts are my passion so I read everything I can get my hands on. Funny...I can't watch reruns but I can read my quilt books over and over.

I AGREE!! I just finished it. The author is John Grogan. It's actually a personal book about their lives as well as life with the world's worst dog. This book made me feel like my pup is a little angel in comparison!

I just finished The Pact by Jodi Picoult. I just bought it Saturday morning and finished it last night. One of the best books I have read in a long time.
