    Pre children I was a HUGE bookworm and now they aren't babies anymore I'm just getting back into it.
    I've been hooked on all the vampire books so gave read all the twilight series and vampire diaries and just the sookie stackhouse series, have vampired myself out so have just read the beach house by Jane green and loved it so a nice change from vampy ones.
    I've heard a book called "room" by Emma donnoghue is good so I think that will be my next one

    If you like the Sookie Stackhouse books I can recommend giving Rachel Vincent, Kelley Armstrong and Jennifer Rardin (who has unfortunately recently passed away :cry: ) - they're all really good reads.

    I've just finished My Booky Wook by Russell Brand and have just started My Booky Wook 2. I know the titles are silly, but he's good at telling his tragic story in a humorous way. Plus, I usually like "depressing" books like Sylvia Plath or Poe, but I've needed a lift-me-up lately so I'm opting for funny ones instead. I'm probably gonna pick up Chelsea Handler's books soon as well.

    Stephen King People...If you haven't read DUMA KEY...it is such a great book. For some reason not as popular as some of his others, but I have never forgotten that story...it is truly haunting. Also, BAG OF BONES really scared me, another one of his. How can you not love Stephen King.

    I'm currently reading the 4th book in the Pretty Little Liars series--I know I'm 27 and shouldn't be reading books for teens, but it's just too good! My teenage sister got me hooked on the TV show last summer, and I recently found out it was a book series too...so of course I have to read them.

    Young Adult fiction is a standard in my library though--they help me really escape reality, and are great to read after finishing hard to read "grown up" books. I'm currently reading this series to give my brain a break from reading Augusten Burrough's books--though I still have one more to read of his. I've heard "The Wolf At The Table" is harder to get through than the rest--anyone eever read it? I have it on my bookshelf for when I'm through with PLL.

    I'm reading the Dexter books... or I was until I changed my half an hour reading at lunch break to half an hour walking around the city.

    I'm on book 3. It's completely different from the TV show. Still very gory... but Dexter, althought more whimpy, seems more sick...

    Loving the stories though.

    Ran out of Karin Slaughter books. Would recomment those books to anyone... but read them in order :)

    I am currently reading The Girl With a Dragon Tattoo and have The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe on deck...

    I'm reading that one as well. Of course I'm juggling that with "First People: A Documentary Survey of American Indian History" and "Before California: An Archaeologist Looks at Our Earliest Inhabitants"

    The Bible, but I read that every day.

    I am also reading "Cardio Strength Training" by Robert Dos Remedios. I started to read it because I was reading more and more about how long duration steady state cardio does little to burn fat, and how Interval Training, HIIT and Metabolic Resistance Training are so much better. I have gotten several chapters in, and it has been very eye opening.

    Currently reading Dean Koontz, The Darkest Evening of the Year. A great Richard Matheson book is The Incredible Shrinking Man. Also I Am Legend. Those two will stay in my memory for many years. Might as well though in my all time favorite. Watership Down. I think I have read that book 10 times, including out loud to all three of my kids.

    My hubby loves the Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher!
    I'd read up to "White Knight" but really couldn't get into it so I kinda stopped there.

    For anyone that likes crime/thriller, I highly recommend Harlan Coben and Linwood Barclay.

    I'm reading A company of liars by Karen Maitland (actually, I'm listening to it on my ipod) This is the first of her books I've read and it's fairly easy listening. I'm also reading (listening to....) The Wheel of Time series again - by the late (great) Robert Jordan and very much looking forward to Book 14 being released in November this year which will conclude this rather epic tale!

    I think Dresden is an acquired taste lol.
    I decided to start Shadowfever by Karen Marie Moning today - book 5 in this series. I'm kinda lost because I read book 4 so long ago.

    Also, crime/thriller with a paranormal twist - try Kay Hooper's Special Crimes Unit series. Love them.

    I'm reading Int the Woods by Tana French. It's a great police drama. I normally don't like them (except for Dennis Lehane) but this one has me hooked.
