    Made to Crave... If you are a Christian trying to lose weight, it is a book that you will both love and hate.

    Cleopatra's Daughter. The title pretty much sums it up. :-P

    Griftopia by Matt Taibbi. About the financial crisis and how the Rich (read 1%) are bleeding America dry before they head towards the emerging powers of Asia.

    I just finished "Deeper Than The Dead" It is a book about a FBI profiler finding a murderer. Good book. I'm reading "The Last Presinct" by Patricia Cornwall right now. I love suspence/mysteries.

    Where Rainbows End - Cecilia Ahern

    It's about a man, Alex, and a woman, Rosie, who've known each since they were seven years old, and the story's mainly told through Rosie through a series of letters, e-mails, notes, faxes and all sorts but never an actual story telling. They go through marriages, heartbreaks, traumas, troubles, triumphs and everything else. And in the end, were they or were they not supposedly soulmates? Who knows, but it's a lovely read. :)

    Currently reading The Midnight Tour by Richard Laymon. The third book of a horror series known as The Beast House Series which includes The Cellar, The Beast House, The Midnight Tour, & Friday Night In The Beast House.

    From wikipedia;

    Richard Carl Laymon (January 14, 1947 - February 14, 2001[1]) was an American author of suspense and horror fiction, particularly within the splatterpunk subgenre. He was born in Chicago, Illinois and lived as a child in California. He received a BA in English Literature from Willamette University in Oregon and an MA in English Literature from Loyola University in Los Angeles.

    His works include more than sixty short stories and more than thirty novels, a few of which were published under the pseudonym Richard Kelly. However, despite praise from prominent writers from within the genre, including Stephen King and Dean Koontz, Laymon is little known in his homeland, though he enjoyed greater success in Europe, particularly in the United Kingdom. The author largely viewed this as a product of the poorly re-edited and reconstructed first release of The Woods Are Dark, which had over 50 pages removed. The book was released uncut in the UK, and he credited the release with his popularity there. His novel Flesh was named Best Horror Novel of 1988 by Science Fiction Chronicle, and both Flesh and Funland were nominated for the Bram Stoker Award. He won this award posthumously in 2001 for The Traveling Vampire Show. Richard Laymon died in 2001, of a massive heart attack and is survived by his wife, Ann, and daughter, Kelly.

    The last book in the Hunger Games series, Mockingjay by Susan Collins. Awful. Just awful.

    Right?! I breezed right through the first two but i'm having a hard time finishing this one! Also i'm currently reading Bossypants by Tina Fey, it's a comical sort of biography.. love her!

    A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini.

    http://www.khaledhosseini.com/hosseini-books-splendidsuns.html

    It was an excellent book.
    I had to read that for school, it was an excellent book but very depressing. About a girl going through hardships with her mother, growing up and having to live through even worse conditions through a terrible war and stuck with an awful husband. The ending is definitely satisfying.

    "Water for Elephants" by Sarah Gruen. I am a huge reader and I highly recommend this book, could not put down, and it was'nt full of crime and detectives like lots of books out there.

    This is one of my favorite books..such a page turner, although the movie was blah

    Like many others - I just finished the Hunger Games series. The movie looks kind of dumb, though...

    Mowing through Dale Brown's Dreamland series. Basically an aviation (Air Force) themed action series. I only picked it up because it was ghost written by Jim DeFelice.

    Read the first 6 and now starting (just picked it up today at the used book store) Satan's Tail. I have five more to go after this one.

    Decent time wasters until COUP D’ÉTAT shows up in paperback April 24

    "Heaven is for Real" a story of a three year old who went to heaven and met Jesus. Definitely a moving and thought provoking book.

    Usually am a big fan of Dean Koontz but haven't read any of his lately.

    Helen of Troy by Margaret George. Love the way she writes stories seen through the eyes of the that person. My favourite is her one on Henry VIII. I also have her Memoirs of Cleopatra and Biography of Mary, Queen of Scots, Elizabeth Tudor and Mary Magdelene (which isn't as good as all the others)

    I'm going to have to look at some of these books,


    The last book I read was The Other Boleyn Girl, by Phillipa Gregory, I love her writing style although I hate how inaccurate she portrays the characters although it really makes for a different story

    Just finished The Story, which is an abridged version of the Bible put in chronological order to read more like a... well....story. Now I'm half way into A Princess of Mars which is the book the new movie John Carter is from.

    Is A Princess of Mars any good? I was considering reading that next.

    I read a lot of sci-fi and I really like it so far. I hope the movie holds up.

    They are making a movie?? I had no idea! My first name is Dejah and it came from the novel back in the 70's. I guess this means I won't be one of the few with that name anymore. :-/

    Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. This is probably my 3rd or 4th time reading it. They are my "go-to" books when I get in a reading rut. Plus, I'm getting ready to go to Harry Potter World in a couple weeks! Yay!:happy:

    Oh, and for Hunger Games fans you should check out Veronic Roth's 'Divergent". It's another YA dystopian book. Very good!

    I recommend The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks. I think its the best book he's written so far aside from A Walk To Remember.

    Star Wars: The Old Republic "Fatal Alliance"

    An outcast spec ops trooper for the Republic. A sullen padawan, turned away from the Jedi trials. A Sith apprentice, eagerly awaiting to turn on her master. An Imperial spy, praying the Republic's higher echelon does not discover him. A smuggler with a mutinous first mate. A Mandalorian Bounty Hunter playing both sides.

    All the characters cross paths with each, and must put their differences aside to stop a quickly growing threat that could wipe out the universe.

    (pretty geeky, huh?) :tongue:

    It was called Soul Eyes, I forget the poor author's name. lol. But I got it at the Dollar Tree and so it was good for a buck. It was about a psychic goddess lady who could heal people.

    The Food Revolution

    It's about the detrimental effects of typical diet on people's health & the planet. Highly recommend it.
