Sorry to hear that you have something tied with 9/11. I had no idea Remember Me had anything to do with it until I was in the theater watching it. It came as quite a shock.

She has several series. My favorites of hers are Song of the Lioness, Immortals, and Protector of the Small. All excellent.

I'll have to add them to my seemingly never ending list of books to read

I have the Host, my Mom lent it to me. I have yet to read it though. I still have yet to read a book since the Twilight series. I love books, but for some reason I was so depressed that I was done that series, I haven't been able to start another one yet. If there was another series someone could convince me to read (other than Harry Potter. I tried, it just wasn't for me) I probably would. I will try and read Host soon. As soon as I am done round 3 of the Twilight series! I tend to prefer series of books rather than just one. Because if I am enjoying it, I like it to last longer.

Well, I can offer you a lot of different series depending on what you're looking for. In my kick to try something to fill the Twilight void I picked up Blue Bloods by Melissa de la Cruz which keep getting better with each book, the Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead (and another series of hers, Subbus Blues, etc.) both of which I adore, the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare (City of Bones, City of Ash, City of Glass) which I absolutely loved ...Um, I could keep going on

I'm just pissed they left that to be the big twist at the end. I think it's too soon to pull out something like that without being up front about it. I know people who would have had a harder time than me walking into that movie without knowing beforehand. So I simply refuse to see it, which makes me sad. But I'm glad I did read the spoilers so I could make that decision.

Are you going to avoid seeing it altogether? Or just in the theater. Cause other than that part, it is still a good movie. But I can understand if it's too hard on some people. I was surprised that they kept it a big secret too, but I guess if they hadn't, the ending would have been ruined.

Some of those book series sound interesting. Not too sure about getting into another vampire series, but I could give them a try. I keep thinking that it would kind of feel like a Twilight rip off, but maybe not.

I like the suspense/love kinda books. I also love murder mysteries, although some have scared me a little. Even though they scare me, I can't put them down because they are just so good. Tess Gerritsen is a great writer! She has a series that is really good.

The Lioness series is about a girl posing as a bioy to become a Knight, The Immortals is about a animal mage, and The Protector of the Small is about a girl who is allowed to become a knight. There are two other series that go with these three too. She is my absolute favorite author and I recommend her highly.

 

[Belle Ella]

I'll probably rent it when it comes out and skip the ending since I get the idea of it. We'll see if I remember

I can guarantee you, none of the series that I listed is a Twilight ripoff. The ones that do involve vampires (Vampire Academy, Blue Bloods, another called House of Night) are all so cmpletely different from one another it's crazy. Which is why I love them all, because they all have something different to offer. The Mortal Instruments series isn't vampire per se but it's good, easily my favorite of everything that's coming to mind that I read. And they all ahve their own suspense.

My all time favorite series though? Outlander, by Diana Gabaldon. Hands down. No contest.

I'm trying to remember which series has a new book coming out next. They end up coming out in 2 week intervals it feels like, every 6 months. All the series I read. So I go crazy waiting for them and then I have to keep up. Not that it's hard but considering I can't stop myself from buying them it tends to get me into trouble every now and again.

OH! I totally got a pair of shoes for $6 at work today. Some days I love my job. I needed a new pair and it's the first time I ahve ever seen something go clearance, to 75%, in my size -- least of all in a style that I like. It made for a happy day.

 

[kaoden39]

New shoes, fun.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

I would consider reading those books then, maybe this weekend I will take a stroll though chapters to see what I can find. But I still want to finish Eclipse and Breaking Dawn first, and consider starting The Host. Since I already have it and all.

If you want to see what a book is about before you read it a good site to belong to is goodreads.com. I belong and I am kaoden39 on there too. It is a great way to find out about books or to even just find books.

Aw man, how sad is it that I sum up my good day by the fact that I purchased new shoes.



I am becoming my mother!

New shoes are a good thing.

Ok, that sounds cool, I will have to check that out! I always have trouble picking out a good series on my own I can't usually tell by the cover or the little blurb on the back, if I will like it or not. The last couple series were recommended by friends. But once in a while I get lucky and find something all on my own! Plus I like going to Chapters to get a Vanilla Latte from Starbucks and just browse through.

I just think it's funny. Shoes have never really been my thing. But mine are falling apart. And anytime you can spend $6 instead of ... well, however much shoes cost elsewhere = big win!!

I wish I had a formula for how I pick out a new series. I just grab a book and read. And then pass it off to Nameless and wait for her to pass me another one and back and forth. I just loaned her the Shopahloc books and she loaned me an immortals series that's not my cup of tea but at the same time I feel like I'm going to go crazy if I don't finish it.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

I LOVE the Shopaholic books!!! Actually there are a couple out that I haven't read yet But it has been years since I read the first few, so maybe I should start at the beginning again.

Going to go to that site now...

I liked the City of Bones series. I have found that if I look at Tamora Pierce's book list I generally like the ones she does.

 

[Belle Ella]

The last one she has published, Shopaholic & a Baby is my aboslute favorite. Definitely pick them back up and start from the begining! She's actually writing a new one last i heard. No idea what it'll be about/titled, but I was so excited when I found out!

So, I finished 3 books in a day and a half and I'm really bummed with nothing to read now. Looks like I'll be making a trip to Borders or Barnes & Noble tomorrow. Which is how I end up spending so much money on books.

Sometimes I don't think I have ever heard of a library card ...

I still recommend the Tamora Pierce novels.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

Ok, I added you Michelle.

I have always rathered buying books than borrowing them from the library. For one, it's always nice to come home with a brand new item that no one else has gone through. Two, I am very bad at returning them on time, even if they've been read weeks prior.

Looks like I have got a LOT of reading to do. I am going to need something to do to make the time pass by a little faster over the next 5 and a half months! Looks like i've found things to keep me occupied enough.

 

[Belle Ella]

Yup, yup. It's on my listies!!
