    I love Amado and South Americans in general! Calories burned by reading? Anyone?:)

    Paper Towns by John Green
    Angelfall by Susan Ee (my ALL time favorite YA book and it's being made into a movie :heart: )

    The Fever Series(also known as The Mackayla Lane Chronicles) by Karen Marie Moning is my absolute favorite. It's categorized as romance but I think that's deceiving as the books individually are really more urban fantasy.

    Second to that is probably the Kate Daniels Series by Ilona Andrews.

    Yay another Kate fan :bigsmile: I've got the new one, Magic Rises, sitting on my desk and it's next in line-can't wait to read it!

    I liked the first one but for some reason never picked up the second one in the series. I'll have to add it to my never ending 'to read' list :)

    So cute. They even made a TV special out of it in the UK... and it is friggin awesome. Just sayin'.


    Oh, did you mean books for like.... adults? HAHAHA ;)

    I'm not currently reading anything... the last book I read though was the 2nd book in the Divergent series, Insurgent.

    FAVORITE books though, are the Harry Potter Series, and The Wolf and the Dove by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss (Romance book), I must have read W&D about 15 times since the first time I read it back in High School. I've read the HP series twice through, but I've read the first book probably about 6 times.

    I'm not a big Stephen King fan, but the book "11/22/63" caught my attention and it was so good, I'm going to read it again in a few months!

    Have you read Full Dark, No Stars by Stephen King? Gerald's Game seems an odd one to be a King favorite, but it was good.
