Hunger Games Trilogy (Collins - OMG loved them!!!)
The Secret Keeper & The Secret Keeper Confined (It was Ok, not awesome don't recall the author?)
Harry Potter - pick one, I've recently read it, lol.

Wizard of Oz, and started the 2nd book.
I know there's probably more. I read fast.0 -
"Death in the Beginning" by Gary Williams and Vicky Knerly.0

Dragonhaven by Robin McKinley is my current read. I love books with epic quests along the lines of Lord of the Rings.
LOVE Robin Mckinley, especially the fairy tales and the Blue Sword books -- she has a vampire book out that is pretty awesome in a creepy way...Sunshine0 -
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
Favorite book ever hands down. Gives me the willy chillies and makes me 1 million times more paranoid than 1984.
A FREAKIN' MEN!!
I couldn't even read it all at once (normally I pretty much devour books.) I felt so stifled while I was reading it I had to take a break!
I had to read that for school!0 -
Alrighty I'm just gonna read you my bookshelf.
Virginia Andrews ( the ones under VC Andrews were completed after she died)
Jean M Auel - love her books, historical novels, very well researched
Kylie Chan - based on Chinese mythology with an Australian main character
Bryce Courtenay
Sara Douglas - the only series I'm a bit iffy on is her Crucible trilogy, read it in high school and can't get into it now
Jim Butcher
David and Leigh Eddings - David's novels after Leigh died are still quite good but missing his wife's touch
Terry Goodkind - I absolutely love the Mord-Sith!
John Marsden - they have started making these into movies and have kept fairly true to the books
Anne McCaffreys Acorns series
Terry Pratchett
Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell

I love to read cozy mysteries; they entertain me! Right now I'm reading "A Deadly Grind" by Victoria Hamilton. This is a new author for me so no recommendation on this yet. Overall, I just inhale mysteries. Keeps me running to the library AND buying books (real and on Kindle). Hope you find something you enjoy.
Ive got such a big list now - im pumped. Feel like calling in sick to work for the next 3 months so i can snuggle up and read read read!!!0 -

Under the Dome by Stephen King
Loved the concept (though visions of the Simpsons movie kept interfering!) but hated the ending - good idea but poor execution, IMHO.
HAHAHAHHA Yes! I know what you mean! :laugh: i started to read this book but we parted ways before i finished.0 -

Mm..I thought it was fairly true to the book (given how disappointing others have been like The Potato Factory). Didn't agree with Robyn at first but then I remembered how religious she was supposed to be. I can't wait until they do the rest. How didn't it live up to your reading of it?0 -
