in Chit-Chat
I've called you all here for a very important reason. I NEED NEW BOOKS! Give unto me your recommendations! Or we can have a lively discussion about things we've read. Any genre is welcome!

My personal favorites are Paranormal Romance though ;D

My absolute favorite authors include: Sherrilyn Kenyon, Katie MacAlister, Lora Leigh, J.R. Ward, Christine Feehan, Jaid Black and J.D. Robb

    I really like Janet Evanovich and G.A. McKevett. Both have strong female lead characters. I also like Brad Meltzer. James Patterson is pretty good.

    I love all books and by all I mean ALL. Bring on the romance girl! I'm working on my masters and have a new baby, so I would love to hear what people are reading to have time to do it for fun. I should finish my degree this year, so I'm collecting titles now!

    Recent reads........... Born Wicked by Jessica Spotwood, Amanda Hockings Tyrelle Trilogy :-) all of these are Young adult books but fun reads. I also loved, loved, loved Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness and Angelogy by Danielle Trussoni.

    You should share some of your favorite books or authors too!

    Have you read the original Dracula? If I weren't a modern person, obsessed with vamps, weres and things of that ilk I would have been seriously creeped out

    I just started reading Stephen Kings: 11/22/63

    I enjoy Clive Cussler, Tom Clancy style books, action adventure with random authors of non fiction works centered around World War II.

    I really liked The Gravediggers Daughter by Joyce Carol Oates. I usually don't read much fiction, and it was the only one I have read by that author, but I liked it. I have been trying to read some of the old classics as of late. Really interesting stuff!

    I am currently reading the Divine Comedies by Dante. I'm up to Paradise, and I like it, but not nearly as interesting as the Inferno. :)

    Next in my Nook cue, Metamorphosis by Ovid!

    Yep, had to read it for an English class back in high school. It was really good!!

    Sisierra, Dracula was another book I had to read for school, lol. Also very good! I love vamps and weres and stuff like that. I'm in the process of writing my own series right now :3
