    I want to finish a book I started awhile back, but can't find.
    It's called After by amy efaw.

    google it and read the info. (:

    I've read After. It was a pretty good YA title. I just finished Almost Famous by Joan Bauer and Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver. I'mm currently reading The Lions of Little Rock by Kristin Levine, Reached by Alli Condie, and Broken Harbor by Tana French.

    I'm a sucker for the YA books. but I usually read dean koontz or stephen king.

    A good book is beauty queen, and another is 13 reasons why.

    Love Dean Koontz, particularly the Odd Thomas, just the right amount of creepy and suspense

    reading "you belong to me"
    You Belong to Me
    A killer seduces women on ocean cruises and the heroine, psychologist Susan Chandler, decides to get him.
    She uses her radio program to contact women who escaped his clutches, unaware he has heard the program
    and is coming after her.

    just finished "hotel vendome"

    both are awesome reads

    Reading a couple books right now..."Fifty Shades Freed" (yes, I know, trash....but it's like watching a train wreck - I can't put it down even though it is horrendous!), and "Witchcraft for Tomorrow" by Doreen Valiente. Hoping to start soon the Hunger Games triogy, re-read the Potter series, and begin the Gunslingr series. I usually rad horror fiction, but hve run out of good authors. I have read Stephen King, Anne Rice, John Saul, Dean Koonz, and the Twilight series (3Xs!). any suggestions for well-written horror fiction (I tend to like hauntings, not monsters, so much, and not a fan of sci fi).

    Check out Robert R McCammon. I've only read Swan Song but liked it and have heard his other books are good.

    I am reading the Phantom Island series by Krissi Dallas for the third time. Amazing YA Fiction. If you liked Harry Potter, the Hunger Games, or Cassandra Clare's books, these are a must read! So amazing, best books I have read in a very, very long time :happy:

    I'm reading American Sniper by Chris Kyle. Chris was a Navy SEAL who was recently killed while trying to help veterans with PTSD. As a retired military man, RIP brother.

    Great book! I read it too!

    And I'm currently reading Riordan's The Last Olympian. Yes, I know it's a kids' series. It was a fun read. :)

    You're the first person I've ever heard to dislike Lord of the Flies. I thought it was fantastic, I'd say it's well worth to just power through...it's like 150 pages or something.

    Both my husband and I did not like Lord of the Flies. Both of us had to read it in high school, and neither of us could finish it, we disliked it that much. :noway:
