    Have you read Full Dark, No Stars by Stephen King? Gerald's Game seems an odd one to be a King favorite, but it was good.

    Gerald's Game is very different from his usual, and the ending especially was good. I'll look that one up :smile:

    Also agree with pp's recommendation of the Fever series by Moning. 5 books, all very good!

    Gone Girl by Jillian Flynn was amazing. Loved it so much I bought her first 2 books. They are not as good but nice reads.

    Enjoy!!

    Depending on what you like, the Crossfire Series by Sylvia Day is awesome!

    This was good as well however, the last book in the series was disappointing. But of course, I will have to buy the next.....LOL!!

    So cute. They even made a TV special out of it in the UK... and it is friggin awesome. Just sayin'.


    Oh, did you mean books for like.... adults? HAHAHA ;)

    I'm not currently reading anything... the last book I read though was the 2nd book in the Divergent series, Insurgent.

    FAVORITE books though, are the Harry Potter Series, and The Wolf and the Dove by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss (Romance book), I must have read W&D about 15 times since the first time I read it back in High School. I've read the HP series twice through, but I've read the first book probably about 6 times.

    I just bought this for my boys this year...and Kathleen Woodiwiss books were passed down to me by my mom...wolf and dove is her all time favorite!
    Great taste!

    I read a lot of vaginal fantasy type romance/paranormal when I get the chance. I'm fond of Christine Feehan's Dark series and just picked up Jacqueline Carey's first two books for her Agents of Hel series, Dark Currents and Autumn Bones. I also love just about anything written by Neil Gaiman.

    Last Lecture by Randy Pausch.

    This one is good.
    I also like anything by Robin Carr, Linda Lael Miller, and Janet Dailey. Dean Koonz book the "Watchers" is good. Dian Palmer is good and so is Patrica Briggs.

    My kids love all the Julia Donaldson books! The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child are favourites! I can recite them word for word.

    As for adult books, I love anything by Harlan Coben, Greg Iles, Gregg Hurwitz, Linda Castillo, Tess Gerritsen.....crime books! I don't often read anything deep and meaningful these days. I get limited free time working as a teacher and also looking after my 2 young kids. I did English Lit A Level and a French degree so have read plenty of classics.

    I tend to have a few books that I read...depends on my mood.

    Currently reading: Finding Emma by Steena Holmes, Save my Soul by K.S. Haigwood & Lover Awakened by J.R. Ward

    One that sticks out that I've read: Dark Lover by J.R. Ward (got hooked on this Vampire series!!)

    If you're not into that genre...then the book Wonder by R.J Palacio was a great touching story that still sticks with me.

    Ayn Rand is one of my favourite authors! The book is one of the best reads I will ever come across.

    I just finished reading Khaled Hosseini's new book, And The Mountains Echoed. Currently I am not reading anything so if someone could suggest a good book, it would be great :)

    Btw, any Matthew Reily fans? Adventure/ action?

    Right now I'm reading "Voice of the night" by Dean Kootz


    My all time favorite is the twilight series. :blushing:

    LOVED the first Twilight book but thought it should have been a single :laugh:

    Have you read Koontz's Odd Thomas series-love them!

    Odd Thomas was fecking brilliant.


    I like a lot of sci fi- Verne, Vonnegut, Herbert, ****, Assimov

    For newer stuff I like a lot of the YA sci fi- Maze Runner, THG, Gone, Unwind, City of Ember, The Giver

    Gotta be anything by Marian Keyes, totally funny chick lit whilst touching on subjects like depression and addiction but in a clever and light hearted way! Best book is prob the Mystery of Mercy Close. A must read. Failing that Sophie Kinsella/Madeline Wickham books are brill!
