Stephanie has part of Breaking Dawn on her site...it's the one of Twilight from Edwards perspective that was leaked on the internet. It's really good. I've read the Saga 5 times now...If you like Twilight you'll like The Mortal Instruments, Vampire Academy, and House Of Night novels.

Whoops...Midnight Sun...I finished Breaking Dawn again last week...it's still on the brain.0 -
Anything and everything by Christopher Moore -- he's brilliant. I am in the middle of Dirty Job right now. If you like a bit of sarcastic, twisted humor with relevant brilliance and a touch of a soft side, he delivers for sure.
ohhhh i love him! read several of his books. loved blood sucking fiends and you suck and lamb! :laugh: need more!!!0 -
Lost by Gregory Maguire. Just finished Time Travelers Wife
love him too! read stepsisters and wicked, twice. getting ready for the rest of the wicked series - just have to go pick them up.0 -
I've been reading an excellent book, recommended by a friend of mine, written by Joe Weider (professional bodybuilding trainer for Arnold Schwartnegger back in the day) called Ultimate Bodybuilding. Its an older book but still jam-packed with great information. Not just exclusively for Bodybuilders, but anyone interested in weight lifting and strength conditioning fundamentals, diet, and some cardio and circuit training. Also, a great read for anyone interested in learning about the human anatomy, basic muscle structure, and how exercising effects those muscle groups.
Kill Zone- A Sniper Novel by Donald A. Davis and Jack Coughlin.
The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Same author who wrote No Country For Old Men, which they made into a movie. The Road is also being made into a movie starring Viggo Mortison, Robert Duvall and Guy Pearce. Its gonna be awesome, if you like post-apocalyptic themes, this book is rad.0 -
Currently I'm about 70 pages into The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux.0

I'm reading the Twilight series and literally yesterday after reading 300 pages of the third book I had to force myself to go to sleep (Cuz I had to be up at 5:30 am for work) and then I dreamt about it. I've been told its kind of a "kid" book but I have to say that I'm 31 years old and have found this to be the greatest romance/drama story that I've ever read. Makes my heart flitter with that "high school love" feeling again.
Me too!!!!!! I am SO NOT a science fiction fan but this series is wonderful!!! It sucks you in. I stayed up waaay too late last night finishing the thrid book. Can't wait to start the last one!!

I started reading the Twilight series last week.... I'm now on the third book. I LOVE these books - and I too, am SOOO not into science fiction/vampire stuff... but it's REALLY good. Another series that is supposedly written for the teenage set that I really liked was the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson- again kind of science fictiony - but really good books.0 -
OMG, It took me forever to read that one.. but it is worth it. You HAVE to read Lasher and Taltos too!!I'm getting close to finishing "The Witching Hour" by Anne Rice. Very LONG (a little over 1000 pages) by worth it.0 -
I tore through Laurell Hamilton's Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series... and now I'm on the 3rd book of Christine Feehan's Dark Series. Nothing like some adult vampire romance novels!!!

The Maximum ride series is somewhat similar to a couple of books he wrote for adults called When the Wind Blows and the sequel the Lake House. The characters names and some of their pasts are similar, but that is where the connection ends between the two. These are not part of that series, and I acutally like them better than the Maximum ride series.0 -
I'm getting close to finishing "The Witching Hour" by Anne Rice. Very LONG (a little over 1000 pages) by worth it.
Have you read the Vampire Chronicles? I have every book ... and the spin off books LOL
I've tried reading the Witching Hour but find myself stopping before it really gets interesting. Now that you are saying it is worth it, I'll give it another go.
I just found out Anne Rice wrote a series on Sleeping Beauty. I'm excited to read it.
Oh and I just read the Christ series (books 1 and 2) and was really surprised at how good they were.
Right now I am reading a Sookie Stackhouse book ... I can't remember the name. All of them have similar titles. Everyone dead I think it is called.0 -

The Mayfair Witches are wonderful! Hehe. I do prefer Blood and Gold, her last installment of the Vampire Chronicles.
Wasn't Blackwood Farms after Blood and Gold? I can't remember anymore ...
Blood and Gold was really really good though :happy:0 -

Just started Reading Ann Rule (which is a new author for me) "Green river turning red"
Because the events happen close to where I live right now and I was interested when i heard of the book and whatnot. I finished all of the Sookie books
So I have to get on with my life.
Leshawnturner- I am a total HP lover, but I didn't read this book, I want to be supprised and then read it after the movie!0 -
I'm reading Safely Home by Randy Alcorn.0

Almost half way through the nanny diaries, it's better then I thought it would be, I bought it at the gift shop in the hospital, where there was limited choice to say the least. I'm pleasantly surprised though, pretty good read.0
-
I'm reading the Shack and Love in the Time of Cholera.
Hoping for some warm weather to sit outside and finish them both so I can move on to something else.0 -
I finished my book "Stolen Lives: 20 Years in a Desert Jail". I am now reading a Clive Cussler book titled, "Valhalla Rising". I have never read anything by him, but a friend collects all of his books and said I had to try it. So far so good.0

I am currently reading the Babylon Rising series by Tim LaHaye. There are 4 books in the series....Babylon Rising, The Secret on Ararat, The Europa Conspiracy, and The Edge of Darkness. I am 22 pages from being done with The Europa Conspiracy. This is a great fiction series based on a biblical archeologist by the name of Michael Murphy who goes on hunts for different artifacts from the Bible and a group called The Seven who are out make a one world govt. with control belonging to this group. Enter in a twisted unknown man that goes by the name of Methusala who gives Murphy clues to where these artifacts are(with lots of dangerous, life threatening situations thrown in). The first book deals with the staff of Moses that shaped like a snake. The second book deals with finding Noah's Ark on Mt. Ararat. The 3rd book deals with the Handwriting on the Wall(hand of God wrote "Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin" on the banquet hall wall just hrs. before the fall of King Belshazzar of Babylon).
Of course it takes me forever to get these books read as I only have time to read when I am on my recumbent bike.
Speaking of which, I better log on to my library's website an extend my loan time as they are due back tomorrow, and I still have the 4th book to read.
I love reading books about different ways future groups might try to "rule the world" and/or end to world.

im finishing up the vampire chronicles so this sounds good.. i should read those too when im done ^-^0 -
I loved this series!!!Currently I am reading the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon.
Another amazing love story set mostly (so far) in 1745. The love scenes are enough to make you :blushing:0 -
I am reading Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill.0

I just finished Losing It by Valerie Bertinelli, and am currently at the last part of Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert on an audio book. I really like how Gilbert's book is read by herself since it is about her own life journay.. it wouldn't be the same if read by another person.
Next on my list is probably Twilight, which has been sitting here for quite a while waiting to be read. Or I'm playing with rereading Angels and Demons by Dan Brown...I know I want to see the movie, but am wondering if I should wait to reread until after so as not to be bugged by changes?
00Angela00 -- I totally agree with you about Jodi Picoult. I just "discovered" her last year and I really like her writing! Vanishing Acts is a current favorite, but I do have another waiting to be read ... can't think of the title... and My Sister's Keeper waiting to be listened to on audio. I'm excited that a movie was made of that -- I have had a number of people -- teens and adults -- tell me they loved the book.
xsargex -- I am also wanting to see the movie version of The Road by Cormac McCarthy, esp. since Viggo Mortensen is in it. I think he is a phenomenal actor. But, I couldn't finish the book when I tried to read it the year before last when I belonged to a book club at work... I can't remember if it was the language or what...0 -
Leshawnturner- I am a total HP lover, but I didn't read this book, I want to be supprised and then read it after the movie!
I didn't start reading HP until after the 5th movie came out and I was SHOCKED :noway: at the differences between the movie and the book. There were so many tidbits of information that should have been in the movies that was left out. But that's okay because they are still great movies!!! :laugh:0 -
I just finished my second reading of Natasha Mosterts Season Of The Witch...and will be starting on her fourth novel Keeper of Dust And Light.0

Oh, I have those books. Those books were so good! I was looking for the next book in the series but maybe that's it. Tim LaHaye is one of my favorite authors.0
