My summer reads :)

I have to admit, I haven't read one book this summer. Seems like there is never enough time, with being on here...lol. Plus other things that need done.

The first 3 seem to have a theme of relationships gone bad. The 'Wicked' sounds like a good read to me. I may have to find it and put it on my shelf to read. I've already got 4 books, but what's one more. I'll get them read....eventually.

Did you ever read Marley and Me? about the lab. The movie is due out in December and Jennifer Aniston is in it. I loved the book so much and I can't wait to see the movie.

Yes I LOVED Marley and Me. I like books that make me laugh and cry. I also have another of John Grogan's books called Bad Dogs Have More Fun. It's a bunch of short stories and articles.

Good in Bed, Wicked and the NYC books sound great! I just finished The Heart Shaped Box, an excellent modern day horror story, and now I'm reading the new Stephen King.

I'm so glad I have begun to read again. I read one book the whole first year and 1/2 of my retirement! I usually have 2, sometimes 3 books going at the same time.

Any other recommendations?

Horror stories always creep me out! I have read almost all of Anne Rice's books but I like how everything isn't so scary because all her vampires and witches and everything are just like normal people with normal emotions and they just don't seem so bad lol
Right now I am almost done Chicken Soup for the Soul: Stories for a Better World. I was reading it outside in my back yard on the weekend and trying not to cry because the neighbors were out too! It's really really good.

I read Wicked about a year ago in my book club - I really enjoyed it. There's another one, I can't remember the title, but it's based on the Cinderella story - I didn't enjoy that was nearly as much.

I just finished a couple of books by Dee Henderson. She's a christian writer and her books are very suspenseful. I found a lot of christian books this summer at garage sales so I'm ready for winter to come!!! I love to read!!!

Lets see I read a few good ones over the last year or so....

The Other Boleyn Girl, The constant princess and The Queen's Fool - Philipa Gregory they were all really good. The other Boleyn girl was the best though! (kind of a series although each stands alone) - about King Henrys court! bunch of bad girls and boys! hehe

The Odd Thomas Series by Dean Koontz, Odd Thomas, Brother Odd and Forever Odd. Now there are 2 more in the series woohoo

- they are freaky in a way, koontz is a lot like stephen king except not so detailed.

The Circle Trilogy by Nora Roberts - Morrigan's Cross, Dance of the Gods, Valley of Silence - a romance/vampire/mystical series - pretty good.

Then of course the Twilight Series - Stephanie Meyer - Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn another vampire/love series - I love vampire books, these are good vampires though - vegetarians if you will who do not feed off humans and who have emotions. Can't wait for the movie in Dec

Think I have a series theme going on here?? haha
