    The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

    Favorite book ever hands down. Gives me the willy chillies and makes me 1 million times more paranoid than 1984.

    A FREAKIN' MEN!!

    I couldn't even read it all at once (normally I pretty much devour books.) I felt so stifled while I was reading it I had to take a break!

    A Storm of Swords. The third in the "Song of Ice and Fire" series (A Game of Thrones). I've loved the whole series so far. Loooooong books, but worth the commitment.


    I am on the fourth book of the series...."A Feast for Crows" and I am almost done with it and am waiting for the 5th book to come to paperback so I can read it!

    I love these, too, and am anxiously awaiting book 5 in paperback!

    Just finished - Lover Reborn - JR Ward
    Up next - The Dark Tide (Andrien English Series) - Josh Lanyon

    I know, I'm all over the place with the genres but I read A LOT and I have to mix it up

    I'm reading "All That Remains" by Patricia Cornwall. It is so easy to read and a brilliant story, so much so I actually bought another of her books before finishing this one. I am a very slow reader though! Oh, I also want to read Tess Gerritson.

    Dragonhaven by Robin McKinley is my current read. I love books with epic quests along the lines of Lord of the Rings.

    The next book I'm going to read is going to be Blackout by Mira Grant - which is the third book in a post apocalyptic zombie series, it features a lot of conspiracy, some amazing character development, and a unique take on the future of blogging. :) One hopes Amazon will get on their game and ship it SOON.

    Oh, Amazon is on their game now ;)

    LOVE Robin Mckinley, especially the fairy tales and the Blue Sword books -- she has a vampire book out that is pretty awesome in a creepy way...Sunshine

    Alrighty I'm just gonna read you my bookshelf.

    Virginia Andrews ( the ones under VC Andrews were completed after she died)
    Jean M Auel - love her books, historical novels, very well researched
    Kylie Chan - based on Chinese mythology with an Australian main character
    Bryce Courtenay
    Sara Douglas - the only series I'm a bit iffy on is her Crucible trilogy, read it in high school and can't get into it now
    Jim Butcher
    David and Leigh Eddings - David's novels after Leigh died are still quite good but missing his wife's touch
    Terry Goodkind - I absolutely love the Mord-Sith!
    John Marsden - they have started making these into movies and have kept fairly true to the books
    Anne McCaffreys Acorns series
    Terry Pratchett
    Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell
    Rachel Treasure - very Aussie
    And last but not least My Story by Dave Pelzer, heart wrenching.

    wow! So many i havent heard of - def gives me something to sink my teeth into. LOVED LOVED LOVED the tomorrow series by marsden.

    I love to read cozy mysteries; they entertain me! Right now I'm reading "A Deadly Grind" by Victoria Hamilton. This is a new author for me so no recommendation on this yet. Overall, I just inhale mysteries. Keeps me running to the library AND buying books (real and on Kindle). Hope you find something you enjoy.

    Ive got such a big list now - im pumped. Feel like calling in sick to work for the next 3 months so i can snuggle up and read read read!!!

    I am reading The Hunger Games Trilogy as well. Just finished Book 1 day before yesterday, and am probably about 2/3 of the way through the second. Am actually looking for ideas of what to read after I finish reading it, so thanks for the thread!

    :happy: No worries!
    theres nothing worse than that sinking feeling when you finish a good book and then you think 'what on earth can i read now!"
