    The Clan of the Cave Bear, 1980
    The Valley of Horses, 1982
    The Mammoth Hunters, 1985
    The Plains of Passage, 1990
    The Shelters of Stone, 2002
    The Land of Painted Caves, 2011

    My dad and sisters all read these ones, i have tried but never really got into them.

    Currently i am reading Anne's house of Dreams (#5 in the Anne of Green Gables series), and one called "Moving Out', it is about hints and tricks for people out on their own for the first time, co-written by Lynne Johnson, who wrote the "For better or for Worse' comics (although i have been out on my own for years, i still like re-reading it once in awhile, it has some funny parts). I also picked up '1001 household tips and hints' this week, so i am going through that.

    If i looked around, i am sure there are a few more i have on the go to...it always seems i have a book in each room and one at work!

    Hi All,

    Anybody ever read Jean M Auel's series. She's writing a sixth book thats out next year. I absolutely love these books I re-read them every year and a half. I've never found anyone thats read the series though which is a shame. I'm so excited about the new book. I can't wait to read more of Ayla's story.

    Themes - Prehistoric, Strong Women, Invention, Survival, Fitting in, Spiritual, Mythical.

    The Clan of the Cave Bear, 1980
    The Valley of Horses, 1982
    The Mammoth Hunters, 1985
    The Plains of Passage, 1990
    The Shelters of Stone, 2002
    The Land of Painted Caves, 2011

    I will eventually get them read. I always ask my clients with stuffed book shelves there favorite authors/books and this series has come up several times.

    Just started "Kitty goes to Washington" book 2 in the werewolf series by Carrie Vaughn... I really like the series. If you like "Twilight" and/or "Bitten" women of the other world, you'd probably like this series as well. Also reminds of Katie MacAllister aisling grey series... Enjoy.

    I'm currently trying to read "An Abundance of Katherines" by John Green.

    But it's happening at a really slow pace thanks to school work.

    I have read The Husband by Dean Koontz. it is his best in my opinion. When i find a compelling authour i seek out all their books. I'm stuck a 45 minute bike ride from the library, at the mercy of a driver (my husband) who thinks books are a waste of time. I want to go back to reading the Bible, and I'd like to compare it to the Q'uran. Ugh it was hard enough to find an english transltion Q'uran online, and even then you gotta enter the specific verse for it to pop up, you can't read it front to back. How can I do that, i don't even know the names of the books of the Q'uran. still I am curious what it says. I suspect that terrorists, both muslim ans anti-muslim, are twisting it, I'd like to see the source. In the meantime I'm intermittently reading the driver's manual, got to get my own license. .

    I'm currently 2/3 through Twilight Eclipse (who cares if it's aimed at teenagers??!) :) My 11 yo daughter wants me to hurry and finish it as she's just finshed New Moon.

    I found "the Girl with the dragon tattoo" a struggle to start with and ended up loving it! I just finished Jodi Picoult's "Picture Perfect" I love her books. Now I am reading a trashy novel (Louise Bagshawe - Desire) before starting the next one in the GWADT series...

    Just finished Stephen King - Under The Dome. A hefty read but very enjoyable. Some of his better 'recent' stuff.

    I recently got hooked on Beverly Lewis' books. I'm onto my 8th book of hers, "The Reckoning."
    I'm waiting for 2 more of her books to arrive and Nicholas Sparks' new book. Oh, can't wait!!

    Just started "The Lace Reader" by Brunonia Barry. Within 10 min, I'm having trouble putting it down.

    I love Janet Evanovich but her newest "Wicked Appetite" has not caught my interest. It seems too out there. I'll keep trying.

    I did finish the 4th book in the werewolf "Kitty" series by Carrie Vaughn.

    I am reading the Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins. I read a LOT and these books are the first in years that I honestly have trouble putting down. They are SO GOOD. I read the entire second book (Catching Fire) last night after getting it in the mail... didn't get to bed until 2 hours past my bedtime. I will probably get through a good portion of the third in the series, Mockingjay, tonight. Absoutely riveting reads!!!

    I read 'Where are you now' by Mary Higgins Clark mostly yesterday (i started it the day before) it is really good!

    Last night i started one called 'the concise Chinese-English dictionary for lovers' by Xiaolu Guo; it is about a 23 year old woman who has been sent to England from China by her parents to learn English. It is a bit of a tough read because it is written like someone who does not speak English like some lines are : "Is unbelievabal, I arriving London," (spelled as in book) and "I standing in most longly and slowly queue with all aliens waiting for visa checking."

    I have had a lot of exposure to immigrants coming from Korea, China and Japan, so as i am reading it, i can 'hear' her talking the way it is written, so i think it is not as confusing as it could be had i not had that exposure.

    Almost finished with Catching Fire right now. I love these books. Mockingjay is waiting for me as soon as I'm done. Love dystopian society fiction.
