    Thanks for the ideas! That's what I love about forums...some I've read, some I've heard of, most I didn't know existed. I hope people keep adding to this!

    Yes, I have already put a couple of holds with my Public Library Consortium's digital library so I can download to my Nook. Heading off to the physical library this morning for something else so I will be checking out a couple of the titles. I typically read about 2 books a week.

    I last read Dan Simmons, "The Terror"
    Wonderful historical fiction with a bit of scare, took place during the Arctic Explorations in the 1800's, my teeth were chattering!

    I love historical fiction. I am definitely going to look into this! Thanks :)

    That looks good. I just put a hold on the audiobook since I need something new to listen to while I swim my laps. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Cursor's Fury, the third book in Jim Butcher's epic fantasy series, Codex Alera. After that I am going to read the fourth book in the Iron Druid series by Kevin Hearne. I am a fantasy freak!

    I've read all the Dresden books, but never tried and of Jim's fantasy stuff. Might need to give it a go...

    And the Mountains Echoed, is what I've just started. Same author who wrote The Kite Runner. One of the best books I've ever read.

    How are you enjoying it? I also loved The Kite Runner but haven't yet read And the Mountains Echoed.

    50 Shade of Grey! :open_mouth:

    Hahahaha! Just kidding... I would be blushing all day! :flushed:

    I sat across from someone in the airport as they were reading this. Let's just say she was also blushing.

    Both of them are well worth the read.

    I just finished The Maze Runner series and loved it. I also like The Giver quartet. Im very much into dystopian books!

    I have The Maze Runner series on my Amazon wish list but have yet to pull the trigger. I'm glad to see a review that you "loved it."

    I just finished Curious George Makes Pancakes. I read it every night. Sticky monkey!!!

    You should definitely read it. He's a good little monkey but always very curious.

    The Dao of Capital is a refreshing read on investing. Mark Spitznagel is the author and a well known hedge fund manager. More of a philosophy book than anything else.

    Finished up The Providence of Fire on a flight a couple days ago. Best fantasy book I've read in several years.

    Always looking for book ideas; I go through A LOT of books while flying too. Nothing better than a book at 30,000 ft
