Book Club

[shortgal 5]

shortgal - i'm going to request devil in the white city from the library today!

Let me know what you think once you start it. I am still working on Isacc's Storm... when I read a book this slowly... it can only mean I'm not crazy about it. When I love a book, I can't put it down.

I want to finish it, so I can start Pillars of the Earth.

Sounds good! Now, what's the title of the one we're doing?

What was Water for Elephants like? If you like vampire books have you read the ones by Stephenie Meier (sp?). It's a series, the fourth one I think is ready in the stores (but I'm too cheap, I wait until I get it at the library). I've read the first three and they're really good. There's werewolves AND vampires, all set in today's world, and believe it or not very realistic, like as if you could jump right into their world. Where I live we just had a book club on her and everyone loved her books.

here is an interesting blog about stephanie meyer's latest book breaking dawn

Moriah Jovan, Author: Religion. Money. Politics. Sex. All the things your mama told you not to talk about in public.

I'm a non-recovered book addict. :whatchutalkingabout Actually, maybe recovering since my favorite used bookstore closed and I don't have a cheap source anymore. I've read all but the most recent Stephanie Plum book. She has 14 out, not including a couple that aren't part of the number series. I especially loved the first four. After that, they seemed to lose something for me. I still read them when they come out, but don't love them like I used to.

I've been reading a lot of young adult lately, too. I've read the first three Stephanie Meyer books and awaiting my daughter to finish the fourth so I can have it. I've also enjoyed the first two books in the City of Ember series. Also, I had an audiobook of The Book Thief and thoroughly enjoyed it. If anyone's interested in young adult epics, Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials series is great. I got the audiobooks from the library and they had multiple actors playing the different roles. (I do a lot of audiobooks because I have a 40-mile one-day daily commute. Thank God for libraries!)

I'll check out City of Ember and The Book Thief. I've read Philip Pullman.

You might like the Percy Jackson and the Olmpians series. I really did! It's a YA. I also really liked most of the books by Karen Cushman. Aren't young adult books great? Who knew? My friend is a librarian and has a degree in young adult literature, so she's the one who got me hooked.

Anyone else reading any great books? Has anyone read the book for this month yet or shall we just go back and forth suggesting books to each other? I don't mind either way.

I just finished "One for the Money", our August book. Good book. Sorry it took me so long. I had others that I was reading that I needed to finish ( I usually have 2 or 3 going at the same time). I just bought "Twilight" and "Sunday at Tiffany's".

Sunday at Tiffany's - isn't that a movie?

You'll love Twilight! I put a hold on her third book in the series at the library. It wasn't even in print yet and I think I was hold number 99!

I'm just starting Two for the Money by Janet Evanovich.

I just finished reading Peace Like a River. OMG!!! What a GREAT book!
