    Book suggestions?? :D

    What kind of book genre do you like? I am a HUGE book lover. LOVE reading!!! :) But I think it depends on what you like.
    I read a lot of different stuff. Love biographies as well. And I also love a book that will shock the hell out of me. But I find most people tend to not like those books. LOL

    Let me know. :) There are tons of books suggestions I'd love to give you. :) I just wouldn't know where to start without a genre.
    i will read just about anything dont really have a genre never thought about reading bios but ill read anything from mystery to well for example fallen(fallen angels) twilight(im sure you know vampire warewolves etc)(pretty much teen books) to books on religions outta curiosity i am christian but i have read books on buddihsm na sure how to spell it lol and reincarnation etc. a few psychology books to well james patterson and dean koontz so as u see i dont have a ggenre jus anything interesting. i might have to try reading some bios lol

    I love LOVE liebe A Density of Souls by Christopher Rice, it's an EXCELLENT book. If you don't mind twists and turns and stories about gays. It's a GREAT book. And so is Emma by Jane Austen if you love romance novels from the 1800s and so is Jane Eyre by Bronte.

    I just realized by going to my bookshelf that it isn't easy to just name them all. LOL So, I thought I will tell of the books I have read recently and liked.

    1) The Other Boleyn Girl - I absolutely LOVE this book. It is so different than the movie and got me hooked on all things Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn.
    2) (NON-FICTION) Broken by Shy Keenan (NON-FICTION) - Very hard book to read. But an amazing story of surviving a brutal childhood.
    3) (NON-FICTION) Playground: A Childhood Lost Inside The Playboy Mansion
    4) Sookie Stackhouse Series by Charlaine Harris
    5) (NON-FICTION) The Heroin Diaries
    6) Mary Bloody Mary
    7) (NON-FICTION) Thing Of Beauty: The Tragedy Of Supermodel Gia
    8) (NON-FICTION) John Lennon: The Life
    9) (NON-FICTION) John by Cynthia Lennon
    10) (NON-FICTION) Madonna: An Intimate Biography
    11) Push by Sapphire
    12) (NON-FICTION) Night by Ellie Weizel

    You can see I read more non-fiction than anything else.

    I also have read books by Denis Lehane (Gone Baby Gone, Mystic River, etc.), Richard Matheson (I Am Legend), Cormac McCarthy (The Road), Jack Ketchum and Anne Rule.
    I have also read every book by Sidney Sheldon and liked them all. V.C. Andrews books are great too. My favorite is the whole Flowers In The Attic series starting with Garden Of Shadows.
    I also really enjoyed Breaking Dawn but don't like saying it. LOL

    I have SO many books on my shelf that I still haven't read. The next books I'm reading will be reading is 'Seductive Poison' which is a non-fiction book about Jonestown and the Peoples Temple. It will be a really hard one to read. I also have many books about the holocaust to read. And a bio on Paul McCartney.

    I really wish I could think of more. I read a lot of books on my Kindle as well but forget about those once I finish and delete it.

    ANYTHING, and I mean ANYTHING by Christopher Moore. I own all of his books and let me just say, if you like to LAUGH, he is your man!
    If you do take on his books, save LAMB for last. It is by far his best book however I wouldnt want you to measure his other books based on that one! Get ready to have people looking at you strange every time you bust out laughing. He also sometimes uses the same characters so you begin to recognize them!
    Island of the Sequined Love Nun
    Coyote Blue
    Bite Me
    Fool
    You Suck
    A Dirty Job
    The Stupidest Angel
    Fluke
    The Lust Lizard of Meloncholy Cove
    Bloodsucking Fiends
    Practical Demonkeeping

    The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins

    Ditto to this! I read the first book in less than a week (and I work 9 and 10 hour days) and can't wait to start on the second. If the remainder of the trilogy is as engrossing as the first installment, it will be one of the best series to come out in a long time.
