Who loves to Read???

[Tonir]

I got roped into reading the Twilight books from a couple of coworkers! They were good though I also read all of the Emily Giffen (Giffin?) books (Something Borrowed) which was great chic-lit. It was similiar to Jennifer Wiener (who I adore).

I loved this book! I keep hearing she may be continuing this story line with a few more books and I really hope so, I love the characters! Frankly at this point I just want her to write another book, I really like the way she tells stories.

I totally agree. Whenever people ask me what type of books I read I think I scare them a bit, because I really do read a bit of everything, I can't be tied down to one genre. Fiction, non-fiction, biography, romance, horror, you name it, I've read it. I even find myself in the children's section on a regular basis, because the books coming out are just fascinating.

About the only type I haven't tackled is Western, but I haven't crossed it off the possibilities list, you just never know.

Thank you girls soooo much!!! I love having some new reads!

 

Jenn79-I think I'm going to try The Sweet Hereafter...I lenjoy reading real tear jerkers now & then!

 

I am also intrigued by Jennifer Weiner and Fried Green Tomatoes...I saw the movie years ago but the book would probably be good too!

Jennifer Weiner- it is LAUGH OUT LOUD chick lit. When I read "Good In Bed" I could not stop laughing. JPitts - I loved Something Borrowed & Something Blue. Twilight was definitely a guilty pleasure too

Judith Mcnaught is amaaazing..all her books are great but Paradise is my top 5 fav books

Barbara Taylor Bradford- woman of substance, was amazing

Tuesdays with morrie, another fav of mine

I just read a book called the opposite of love (in an entire day) that book was great too
