OT- Summer Reading...
 

Anyone reading anything good?

I'm currently reading a really great book by David Cristofano called "the girl she used to be". It's about this 26year old girl in the witness protection program and with many alias. She finds herself in a position where she has to choose between staying with the Feds who haven't done alot to keep her safe, her parents were murdered or go with Jonathan the mafiaos sent to retrieve her, however all he wants to do is protect her. Jonathan gives her something she has always desired..to be herself. Great chick lit! I'm head over heals in love with Jonathan!

THen I have The Complete Sherlock Holmes Volume 1. 704 pages of Murder, mystery, mayhem and interigue!

Followed by book three of Nora Roberts Bride Quartet! I'll be picking this up this weekend. Also great chick lit!

OOOO I really want to read book three of the Bride Quartet. However that is my 15 lb. goal reward. (BTW, at this rate I will be lucky to read it by winter!) :(

I don't know what all the new books out are, so I will be watching this thread for some ideas!

My next reward is 5lbs away. When I hit it, I'm going to get Jillian Michaels "Master Your Metabolism Cookbook" I flipped through it at the book store and it looks good. I love that I can swap out ingredients, like use chicken breast for fish(which I don't like).

I've been reading books in Charlaine Harris's Aurora Teagarden series. She wrote the Sookie Stackhouse books and she has three other series -- I like them all. I'm also reading Committed, which is by Elizabeth Gilbert, the author of Eat, Pray, Love. I read all the time, all sorts of books. I can't stand to go through a day without reading!

Hooray, readers!!

I am reading "Enders Game" by Orson Scott Card. It's about a child genius who has been recruited to be trained to defend the Earth. It is a Science Fiction novel set in the future.

I love Sci-Fi, but do branch out more in my reading than in my TV/Movie watching.

It might be cool to pick a short novel and have a reading club thread. Just an idea. :) I'm guilty of reading several things at once. :o

mortonpixie, I don't usually go for sci-fi, but I loved Ender's Game. I was going to teach it to my 9th graders a few years ago but I didn't get a chance to work it in. I felt bad, because I had the librarian order a bunch of copies for us, but I'm sure someone else will teach it! Or I will when I go back to teaching (and I hope to get back into the same school). I know there's a sequel or two, but I haven't read those.

We should absolutely have a reading club on here - that would be wonderful!

I've got a lot on my list of things to read. Lately, I've been reading Christine Feehan's Ghostwalkers series. It's about Dr Peter Whitney and his human experimentation: he's psychically-enhanced people. Lily is his adopted daughter and she's called in to consult for her dad who is having problems with one group of men who seem to be dropping dead. When her dad is murdered, she teams up with the group of men he's experimenting on to find his killer and she also finds that there are other women who were experimented on much earlier- little girls- and her father's asked her to find them. It's a series where a member of the team finds the woman (formerly the girls of which Lily was a part of) that gets him hot n bothered. Sizzling reads!

I'm also reading her Dark series, about vampires and psychic women who get it on for most of the novel. :D I'm a sucker for romance novels.

I found a long-lost series that I want to start reading again- Frank Herbert's Dune series. I finished watching Children of Dune and fervently wished for Duncan Idaho to find me helpless and crying in the corner. ;)

For school, I'm about to start reading some books on the Crusades, the Black Death and Greek Tragedy and Myth.
