    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...Sunshine

    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!

    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
    Rachel Treasure - very Aussie
    And last but not least My Story by Dave Pelzer, heart wrenching.

    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!!!

    I am reading The Hunger Games Trilogy as well. Just finished Book 1 day before yesterday, and am probably about 2/3 of the way through the second. Am actually looking for ideas of what to read after I finish reading it, so thanks for the thread!

    :happy: No worries!
    theres nothing worse than that sinking feeling when you finish a good book and then you think 'what on earth can i read now!"

    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.

    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?

    Plum Spooky. I'm trying to finish the Stephanie Plum series. I started with book 1 about 3 months ago, just finished Fearless Fourteen, started on Plum Spooky, and now have 16, 17, and 18 to go and I think there's another between the numbers in there somewhere too. Almost done finally, lol.
