by Bishop, Anne. Trust me the more Anne Bishop writes the more axious I am that she will stop this series which would be a seriously bad thing because I don't think I will ever be ready to this series to come to an end. Keep writing Anne Bishop! posted Apr 8, 2011 at 1:10PM

by Forsyth, Kate, 1966- Second book in the Witches of Elianan Series (Don't Know if I Spelled the series name right) but overall a good book, may not have been very fast paced but I still liked it regardless. posted Apr 8, 2011 at 1:05PM

by Fitch, Janet, 1955- I loved this Book! it helped me get closure, on some of my life, and gave good insight to how bad foster homes, Abuse and life can sometimes be at times. I really, and I mean really rank this book high up on my list of good books to read! posted Apr 8, 2011 at 1:03PM

by Showalter, Gena. Although the main charachter is a little shallow, it only adds to the story, Humorous funny and not a bad crack at the contemporary fantasy romance theme! posted Apr 8, 2011 at 12:58PM

by Showalter, Gena. an elemental romance with some snarky people and some good humor, a creative read. posted Apr 8, 2011 at 12:57PM

by Bishop, Anne. Anne Bishop Stays true to her form with yet another amazing series, although this one isn't as top notch as the "Black Jewels Series" it is still worth a good read more than once, I was impressed keep writing Anne Bishop! I am truly a fan! posted Apr 8, 2011 at 12:55PM

by Baum, L. Frank 1856-1919. I really couldn't tell you why I even read this book, I hate the wizard of oz although the majority of the population loves this book & the movie I cannot stand either. posted Apr 8, 2011 at 12:54PM

This True story is really tragic don't read unless you have the rose-colored glasses off and think it will help you find closure. posted Apr 8, 2011 at 12:52PM

by Riordan, Rick. Excellent way to get kids and adults alike into mythology! I loved this book, then again I love mythology as well. The Movie wasn't that good though but the series awesome if you end up seeing the movie first don't judge the book by the movie cause you'll truly miss out. posted Apr 8, 2011 at 11:14AM

by DuBose, Martha Hailey. I'm not too much of a fan for the classics but in elementry school I picked this one up...wasn't really a fan, I did like another classic by the orignal author of this book by burnett, which was a little princess and that although sad is worth checking out book & movie alike. posted Apr 8, 2011 at 10:43AM

I have very fond memories of this book, what's not to like? posted Apr 7, 2011 at 11:24PM

by Briggs, Patricia The first installment of the Mercy Thompson series, a decent read. Not great but not bad either. I an pulled in enough to want to pursue some more of the series eventully but it's not that strong of a pull. posted Apr 7, 2011 at 11:21PM
| |
by Briggs, Patricia This book is part of the Alpha & Omega series that is in a part of Mercy Thompson's world & Although I seem to like the Mercy Thompson Series a little better, this one is still worth checking out if you like The Mercy Thompson series. posted Apr 7, 2011 at 11:19PM

by Clark, Mary Higgins. this is one of my top three mary Higgins Clark favorites, My other two being "the Cradle will Fall" & "Weep No More My Lady." if you like light suspense/fiction give mary higgins clark a check out at the local library or your nearby bookstore she most likely won't dissappoint. posted Apr 7, 2011 at 11:18PM

by Briggs, Patricia now I may be reading this series out of order and for that am slightly confused with some of the subtle references they make it in it but from what I can grasp it was a pretty good book I decided to start from the beginning of the Mercy Thompson series After picking it up which is titled Moon Called which you can find a little ways below this title on this list. posted Apr 7, 2011 at 11:15PM

by Brett, Jan, 1949- A Classic I Grew Up with, the storie is good, as are the illustrations, I loved this book as a kid & still feel a sort of nastalgia towards it. posted Apr 7, 2011 at 11:13PM
| |
by Ahlberg, Janet. This is a board book/Picture book I Grew up with, very repetitive and cute, I ended up buying a copy for my neice a couple birthdays back so I could share the memories with someone else & she loves it. My sister says she doesn't go to sleep without having it read to her most of the time. posted Apr 7, 2011 at 11:11PM

by Dahl, Roald I Actually saw the movie before I read the book, however the book of course is even better, Roald dahl Again had outdone himself in writing yet another wonderful book. posted Apr 7, 2011 at 11:10PM

by Clark, Mary Higgins. Possibly my favorite Mary Higgins Clark Book, it was also the first one I ended up picking up by this author as well. I have read it more then once and not felt guilty about reading it again, instead of reading books I haven't yet got around to reading yet. posted Apr 7, 2011 at 11:06PM

by Alcott, Louisa May, 1832-1888. I hate, hate, hate this classic it brings back bitter memories of a friendship break-up I had with a person who was my best friend in elementry school, at the time we shared a keen interest for this book and always played our "imaginary games/house based on this book" but I guess X-best friends can make or break books just as well as they can anything else. posted Apr 7, 2011 at 11:04PM
| |
by Clark, Mary Higgins. One of Those good light reads that aren't a waste of time & you don't feel guilty reading. I Could only find the audio book in the catalog so that's why it says audio cassette in the title. but I did fact read the book and not listen to the audio. I'm not the hugest fan of audio not that I'm trying to knock audio books I just don't count them as something you can acutally count as reading. posted Apr 7, 2011 at 11:01PM

by Brown, Dan, 1964- A good read with an interesting twist. this book became a big hit for it's time though I would have to say may be overated although still a very good book. don't bother seeing the movie but then again I am biased I really am not a fan of tom hanks. posted Apr 7, 2011 at 10:55PM

by Blatty, William Peter. A Dark Gritty Book, Which I found a as a good yet disturbing read. Though I read it before the dime a dozen movies started spewing out their crud. posted Apr 7, 2011 at 10:52PM

by Brown, Dan, 1964- Although not part of the Robert Langdon Series, still a decent supsenseful thriller this one instead of focusing on symbology is more on the subjects of science & politics. a fairly decent read. posted Apr 7, 2011 at 9:16PM
| |
by Brown, Dan, 1964- By far my favorite Dan Brown Book, four priests have been picked out, abuducted, and threatened to be killed by the use of the four elements, and that's just the tip of the ice berg as Robert Langdon the symbologist tries to stop the murders from happening. posted Apr 7, 2011 at 9:13PM

by Archer, Alex. in this series Joan of Arc reincarnated as an archaologist fights with a broad-sword pretty neat at first but the author should stop making books now because she has like 50 posted Apr 7, 2011 at 9:07PM

by Dumas, Alexandre, 1802-1870. In All honesty I didn't like the book as much as I liked the movie, the movie had a happier ending then the book but it is a classic and I had to pick it up for a reading class in High School because my teacher "couldn't think of anything else at the time to assign." posted Apr 7, 2011 at 9:04PM

by Dahl, Roald Roald Dahl, has always been a good writer, to this day I still have at least two or three of his books on my bookshelf & I am currently In my twenties! Matilda is one of those titles. witty, funny, & brilliant about sum up this kids story that I grew up with and still am a fan of to this day. posted Apr 7, 2011 at 9:01PM

by Beddor, Frank. The third Installemnt and most likely the last of the "Looking Glass Wars series" by far probably the most fast paced of the three but not necessarily the best of the three either I was impressed and not by the ending, it even wasn't done bad, they just crammed a little to much detail into the last chapter and could have gone into a little more discriptive detail on the last battle which I was exepecting would last a little longer then the second to last chapter or less. posted Apr 7, 2011 at 8:57PM

by Banks, Maya. I only read this book because I was able to buy it for cheap on my nook, it was ok, as it goes I'm not to highly into the romance genre and this was for sure more a romance then suspense, & I would't read it again for probably the reason that it was mostly romance but if you like that kind of stuff this would be a contemporary romance to check out posted Apr 7, 2011 at 8:50PM

by Hooper, Kay. a paranormal investigative series that I think should not be shelved in the romance section of the book stores at barnes & Noble considering it is more mystery or fiction suspence then romantic. Anyways a good read for paranormal fiction like style. I found it a good light read and interesting posted Apr 7, 2011 at 8:48PM

by Bishop, Anne. not as good as neither the black jewels series or the Tir alainn series.. wasnt all that impressed with it. Even the author's style of writing was quite different. posted Apr 7, 2011 at 8:46PM

by Harris, Thomas, 1940- This was one ending to a series that I was completley unimpressed with the ending to the movie was better then the book and the movie was terrible. This book was a waste of time it left me feeling disappointed. It wouldn't have been so bad if it had ended quite differently. posted Apr 7, 2011 at 8:42PM
