    I love reading too!

    I haven't read the that series yet, but I like fantasy books in general. I just ordered Neverwinter (the latest forgotten realms drizzt book) for the kindle. Unfortunately most of my reading energy has been towards school lately, but I'm almost done.

    I don't know that series? What's is about? I remember being in school lol I was so excited when I graduated that I'd actually have time to read for fun again!

    I'm Brad, and I've recently regained a love of books. I don't often get to read. I'm an audiobook kind of guy. Audible, and the county library are my friends. I'm currently listening to Game of Thrones, and the Steve Jobs bio. Both great books!

    When I'm at the gym, I prefer to listen to books rather than music.

    Hi! My name is Sarah, and I keep B&N in business ;-) Been in a bit of a ready slump lately, but I usually will go through about a book a day! Uber-bookwork here :-) Love anything by Nicholas Sparks and John Grisham, but I am mostly into Young Adult Paranormal books and series. Anything paranormal or unusual ;-) If it is a young adult paranormal series, more than likely it is on my bookshelf!

    Hi there, I'm Maura.

    LOVE to read. When I graduated law school I was super excited I'd have time to read for fun again. I love chic lit, most fiction, and thriller/mysterys.

    Currently I'm reading Sandra Brown's Lethal, which I highly recommend. It's a thriller and sooo good!

    ^^This sound like me Tara. I'm Ayla and I constantly have lists of reading, to-read, MUST READ AS SOON AS THEY COME OUT etc. I love romance, sci-fi and fantasy. I've just recently bought a kindle and love it. It has opened up a whole new world of books to me(this is a bit dangerous for my wallet though AHHH!). I actually read while I'm at the gym now using my kindle it's been great.

    Hi! I'm Noelle, longtime book lover! I'm currently getting my masters in library science, so definitely love talking books. Right now I am reading two books.

    Joy for Beginners by Erica Bauermeister and Sing you Home by Jodi Picoult (my first book of hers).

    Hi! I'm Barbara! I love reading! When I graduated from university I was so excited, that I'll have more time for reading fun stuff. I love chic lit, thriller, business. At the moment I'm reading something completely different, a book called "Russian Diary: A journey from the Chukchi Peninsula to the Red Square". I love to read while I'm working out at the gym!

    LOVE Jodi Picoult! I have read The Pact and My Sister's Keeper. She is almost like the female version of Nicholas Sparks for me :-)

    Hello! I'm Kellie and I love, love, love to read. :) I usually have 10 or 11 books going at the same time, mainly because there are so many out there that I want to read, I can't resist starting new ones before I've even finished the old ones. I love used books, new books, audiobooks, and I'm getting a Kindle for Christmas, so I'm about to love e-books, too. :) History, travel, fiction (the classics especially, but newer stuff, too), poetry, gardening, running, children's and young adult books... I love them all. :) I don't have as much time as I'd like for sitting down and reading, so audiobooks are my lifeline. Librivox.org is my drug... they are all free and they have just about any out-of-copyright book you could possibly want. Currently I'm listening to the Harry Potter series on audiobook again (I do this several times a year... LOVE IT!), as well as "The Ambassadors" from librivox. I'm reading "Clean & Lean Diet," "Born to Run," "The Courage to Start," "Anatomy of a Disappearance," "Bringing Nature Home," "The Well-Tended Perennial Garden," :) , "The Iron Kingdom," Augustine's "Confessions," and some others that are parked up on my bedside table.

    Hi my name is Jamie and I'm addicted to reading lol. Besides art, it is probably my favorite pastime. I generally only read 1 book at a time, but I'm an insanely fast reader so it's never an issue. I read whatever sparks my interest at the time, but my favorite genres include urban fantasy, fantasy, and horror. I'm currently reading "The Fire Eternal" the 4th book in Chris D'Lacey's dragon series. I know it's a kids book, but I love the series.

    It's an old series that started in the 80's (maybe 1990). It's about a dark elf that can't come to terms with the evil ways of his race and comes to live on the surface world. It has about 20 books or so. The author is R A Salvatore. There is also a bunch of books about some of the secondary characters that were introduced in the series.

    I purchased a book today, Food, Fitness, and Faith For Women, A 21-day journey to a new you. I have been working on staying focused on using my faith to help with my weight issues. Hopefully this will be a good book.

    I love that series, I just finished reading the new one "Ghost Story." It had been a while since I read the whole series, but I was eager to read the new book so now I'll go back and re-read the rest.

    Everyone I know loves the Dresden series! I can't wait til I'm done w/ the Game of Thrones series so I can finally get around to reading it!

    It's my absolute favorite (well, sorta tied with Harry Potter, haha). What did you think of Ghost Story? I liked it okay, but it was one of my least favorites in the whole series. I'm interested in the turn the story is taking, though. :tongue:

    Arsie--you will love the Dresden Files! I don't recommend the show, though, haha. It only made 1 season, and since I'm such a devout Dresden fan, I bought it, just to see how it is...it's terrible.

    I'm with you, Ghost Story was ok. It was a bit dull compared with the rest of them, but was still good. I think its purpose might be to set up a whole new direction for the series to take.

    yeah I learned my lesson after reading the books that were turned into the True Blood series.... love the books! Watched 1 episode of the series and hated it lol! I do want to check out the Game of Thrones tv series when it comes out on DVD tho.... hopefully they did it well!

    That's what I'm thinking, too. I admit, the end kinda confused me...since I'm now halfway through Turn Coat, I think I'm gonna read Ghost Story after I finish Turn Coat and Changes, so I can "brush up" on it and maybe now understand the ending of Ghost Story a little better.

    Arsie--I've never read the books that True Blood is based off of, and I've never watched True Blood, but I've heard great things about both! I don't think I'd ever watch the show, though...but if the series is worth reading, I'd definitely check those out. :smile:
