Hi everyone,

I was just wondering what book you're reading at the moment and would you recommend it? I love reading, and would really like some suggestions of what to read next.

Thanks in advance :smile:

P.s. I'm reading The Distant Hours by Kate Morton - I haven't read enough of it yet to know whether I'd recommend it though.

    I' m reading two books. First, The Intention Experiment. Highly recommend it. Quick reading and is basically about how we can use positive thinking to perhaps make the world a better place - with some scientific proof. Of course there's some proof for just about everything....But I like the thought behind it.

    The second is the third book of a triology called "Eagle Sage" which isn't my normal cup of tea. It is a fantasy book series that my hubby had laying around and I was bored so I read book one. It was good enough I had to actually buy book 3 b/c my husband didn't have it and I wanted to see what happened.

    Enjoy!

    Oh...good topic, I am in need of some new material as well. I am currently re-reading the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon for the second time...so I would definitely recommend that series. Its got drama, romance, action and a great sense of humor. Plus, you get to learn a little bit of Scottish and American history :bigsmile:

    I'm reading a Jodi Piccoult called "Change of Heart". If you like Jodi Piccoult it is a good one. I have alternately loved and hated her novels, but I keep reading them, they are provacative anyway! BTW, I loved Sister's Keeper but hated Salem Falls, for example. I never know til the end, I get angry when she brings up something and doesn't resolve it!

    Love the topic of books. :)

    I have to say it really depends on what genre of books you like to read. I have so many favorites but I wouldn't know which to recommend.

    I love fiction writers Cormic McCarthy. Denis Lehane. Richard Matheson.
    I also LOVE non-fiction books like true crime, history and biographies.
    I have read some really affecting non-fiction books that will stay with me forever. Many of the books I like are not for everyone. Definitely not for the faint of heart. lol :)

    Some fiction books I read recently were Water For Elephants, The Road, Gone Baby Gone and Breaking Dawn (one I wouldn't normally have read, but it was free for my kindle). Aside from the fact the writing style of Stephanie Meyer is not what I am used to, I REALLY enjoyed Breaking Dawn. I recommend all of those.

    :)

    Just finished Hard Eight by Janet Evanovich. Love anything by her. Now I'm reading A Dog's Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron. Just started it last night, but so far, so good. Getting good reviews... (which doesn't really mean anything...! )

    I am reading "A Clash of Kings" by George R.R. Martin, which is part of the A Song of Fire and Ice series. It's the series of books that inspired the Game of Thrones HBO series. I like them, but I wouldn't recommend them unless you like fantasy. I am a bit of a sci-fi and fantasy fanatic.

    I just re-read The Green Mile, by Steven King.
    One of my favorite books is Mama Day, by Gloria Naylor. I seriously can't recommend this book highly enough. I also can't explain what it's about. You just have to read it. Seriously.
    I'm currently reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire again, just 'cause it's my favorite in the series. :)

    I'm with you! I find her books to all have the basic story line, but I read them anyway! lol I thought House Rules was kinda irratating, why didn't they just ASK the kid??? lol

    I am reading Something Borrowed by Emily Griffin. I like to read books before I see the movie version, but if you like cute love stories, I like this one so far.
