Favorite books/arthurs



Recommended Posts

I'm reading the Twilight series for the second time right now. I'm halfway through book 3. I like them much better than I expected to.

I also read the Child Called It books. They were heartwrenching. I don't mind autobiographical when it has a purpose like those.

I've actually been approached to write a book about my labpand journey. I'm still mulling it over. I think I'd like to be close to goal or at goal first.

shm,

That is awesome! I totally understand your waiting until you get to goal - however the longer you wait the more chance of you forgetting the details. It's the littlest things that make a story what it is. Perhaps you can start to keep a writing journal everyday or weekly...

Lilmiss,

I have a blog that I've kept from the beginning of this whole journey. (See my signature.) I think that's what prompted this person to suggest the book thing.

Favorites of all time:

The Sparrow - Mary Doria Russell

The Children of God - Mia Doria Russell

The Red Tent - Anita Diamant

The Time Travelers Wife - long last name I don't remember (starts with an N)

None are quick, but they are fabulous!!!

Travel_anna, those are great books. I've read 3 of them, and I've got Time Travelers Wife somewhere around the house.

ReadySteadyGo, have you read Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse books? HBO used them for the True Blood series. They take place near Shreveport.

So just to catch up. I've read the twilight series twice now, and all the True blood books...also known as the Sookie Stackhouse series. It's written all about this area, Yes Julie they rock. In one of the books they talk about going to see "The Producers" at the strand theatre and I laughed so hard because I was actually there...of course I didn't see the warewolf attack outside :thumbup:

I have also been into Tamora Pierce lately. She's cool. And ww cookbooks too. I am currently rereading Jane Eyre.

I loved Marley & Me! And my favorite arthur is Dudley Moore...LOL!

LOVED Marley and Me. The movie, like usual, didn't do the book justice.

And, as Arthur, I loved it when she says to him: "Give me your hand." And he replies, "But, then, that would only leave me with one."

ReadySteadyGo, have you read Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse books? HBO used them for the True Blood series. They take place near Shreveport.

I didn't realize they were from books. I've read and heard all about True Blood but I. Can't. Like. Another TV show!! Ack! Too many boob tube moments now!

My favorite Anne Rice book is A Feast of All Saints. Heart wrenching!

I love the Eye of the World series by Robert Jordan and was devastated to hear of his passing. He didn't finish the series, so his wife will work with another author to finish that last book. I'd been reading that series for 20 years!

Another series that I recommend is the Belgariad. A softer version of the Eye of the World.

Oh, and Ender's Game! I cried sooo hard at the end of that one.

I know it's an old thread, but I love to read! I just wish I had more time.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
