I love Harlan Coben...but I have to wait until April for his new book. Nobody does suspense lie Harlan.

I am currently reading The Hour I First beleived" by Wally Lamb. It is his first book in 10 years...and so worth the wait.

I normally read a book in two or three days, but I am savoring this one because I don't want it to end.

I just finished "Swallowing Darkness" LOVED it!!

Also am reading Teri Garey "Dead girls are easy" and "Mach made in hell." Funny.

And JD ROBB Salvation in Death-excellent!

Enjoy,

I like most of the books previously mentioned; I just finished the entire Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. Very funny stuff.

I have recently begun reading Stuart Woods and Lee Child. Both write novels with recurring male characters that I just cannot get enough of! Unusual for me since I normally only connect with female authors.

I too am a Laurel K Hamilton fan, I just read her last Merry Gentry novel. And I read this great book called Gang Leader for a Day: A Rogue Sociologist Takes to the Streets by Sudhir Venkatesh. Its a book about how the author spent several years hanging out with and observing the chicago Black Kings in the housing projects and the people that lived there, especially one gang leader, TJ. I'm in the middle of a Diania Wynne-Jones novel, the Dark Lord of Derkholm that I am reading for my fantasy class and I'm also reading Blume's Blubber for a class. I'm currently reading Deja Dead by Kathy Reichs-- the scientist who inspired the series Bones.

This is fantastic. There's many on here I've read already. Great minds I'm telling ya!

A great book I read a while ago was Peace Like a River. I loved The Lightning Thief and the series that followed, and The Warrior Heir and that series.

I also just finished the Twilight series (well actually I will probably finish Breaking Dawn tonight.) They are great and I have been reading each book in a day or so- they are totally gripping.

I also just finished "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy, which was GREAT! It won the Pulitzer. I read that one on Thanksgiving.

Last night I started "Dead Until Dark" by Charlaine Harris. It's the first of the Sookie Stackhouse novels, which are the subject of the new series on HBO "True Blood". I'm sure everyone has heard of that show! Now that Season One has ended, I'm going to read the book, because I hear that Season One follows the book, and it ends where the book ends. That show is awesome!

I'm almost done with Eclipse! The third book of the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer. I love these books.:biggrin:

[Band_Groupie 3]

Halfway through "The Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett- excellent. 12th century England; kings, queens, monks, tretchery, and the building of a cathedral.

Love the recommendations here!

LOVED Pillars of the Earth AND Dead Until Dark AND Twilight series!

I just read City of Ember last night. It must be a young adult. I'm finding a lot of really good young adult reads lately.

I have a few young adult recommendations for you if you haven't read them yet:

Tithe by Holly Black (faeries)

Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr (also faeries)

Vampire Academy and Frostbite by Richelle Mead (duh--vamps! :cursing: )

Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

And I LOVE Charlaine Harris's books, both her Sookie Stackhouse series and her Harper Connoly series...tho I have to catch up on them both. It's nice to see so many people here with similar reading tastes to my own! (My books are actually going to be published by the same company as Charlaine, Jim Butcher, and LKH. I'm very excited!)

Could you send me the information on your book and when I can expect to find it in stores? I want to read it! :cursing:
