@ Nanda -
...Thanks for the suggestions everyone! <br /><br />@ Nanda - <br /> I'm glad you reminded me about the Sookie Stackhouse series. I love the TrueBlood series and have been meaning to read the books! Do you watch the show also? <br /><br />@ Em - <br />I read the first Harry Potter and I did like it actually! But the reason I read it was because a free copy fell into my hands. Otherwise, you know, I probably wouldn't have even given it a chance. Isn't that funny how that works out sometimes? <br /><br />@Jonathan -<br />The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, thanks for mentioning that one! I've been interested in that one since I saw the movie description for it (haven't seen it yet though). Also thanks for dropping by my blog, don't think I've met/seen you on here before!

Don't watch the movie they made though...<br /><br />I second the Marian Keyes recommendation from the previous commenter. Though I have also heard that her latest books are not very good. I liked Last Chance Saloon and The Other Side of the Story.<br /><br />Did you read Harry Potter? If so, and you happened to enjoy those books, I would recommend Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones.Em!https://www.blogger.com/profile/10437435359542360543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9130102235580408915.post-38188735240973624602010-06-11T11:25:29.825-04:002010-06-11T11:25:29.825-04:00Fantasy--Sookie Stackhouse Series: (First one is D...Fantasy--Sookie Stackhouse Series: (First one is Dead Until Dark)--wildly imaginative, at times trashy, but hard to put down series with vampires, werewolves, demons, and fairies<br /><br />Chick Lit--Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married by Marian Keyes (lighthearted, witty, and all the ingredients for a good tale about romance and friendship(there was a time when I would recommend any book by her, but her more recent books are commentary on domestic abuse and drinking, and are sort of downers) <br /><br />Sci-Fi: Beggars in Spain by Nancy Kress (genetically altered humans who never sleep: makes you think, and even though there are sad times in the book, stick with it because ultimately it's not a sad book)<br /><br />Adventure: The Eight by Katherine Neville (the writing has some cliches thrown about, but very enjoyable still)Nandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00225145545141245536noreply@blogger.com
