But have you read The Host, Stephenie Meyer's other book? I loved it MORE than all of the books in the Twilight series except Breaking Dawn :) Another book that caught my interest that gave me the same contentment as Twilight was Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder, it is the first in a series of 3!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04174070056535101859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576956386594856347.post-32275470732597096432009-05-28T12:12:03.845-04:002009-05-28T12:12:03.845-04:00So glad to hear that you sweetie is home!!

I would also second the opinion on someone who suggested Janet Evonvich..she is sooo funny and is the only person that I read that makes me LOL while I am reading. Seriously...my husband would listen to me roll in bed at night with laughter and he finally read them all and he really loves them too (and he's more of a sci-fi guy...although he did read the Twilight series and sometimes I can get him to read Nora Roberts...who btw is another good one to read). If you like the vampire stories then you may want to try Nora Roberts Circle Trilogy (Morrigan's Cross, Dance of the Gods & Valley of Silence)<br /><br />TracyTracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03631091367645541839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576956386594856347.post-79683880066316801782009-05-27T15:59:10.002-04:002009-05-27T15:59:10.002-04:00this will be perfect for our Walt Disney World vac...this will be perfect for our Walt Disney World vacation!

I also read the "In Death" series by JD Robb (aka Nora Roberts). The language is a little rough, so if that bothers you don't go there. But I like them and they are my guilty pleasure! There are a bunch of them out there (20+) and if you have a used bookstore around I'm sure you can find them there.

The storms "railroading" like they are is more like the monsoon, but that usually happens in July, not May. At any rate, it won't last long enough or come often enough. As a Northwest transplant myself, I hated rain for many years, but now I really look forward to it...as long as it doesn't last more than a couple hours.Brenda from Odessanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576956386594856347.post-53445461364259590572009-05-26T23:45:38.833-04:002009-05-26T23:45:38.833-04:00I have only read Twilight once, but am currently l...I have only read Twilight once, but am currently listening to the audio books. I have it on my ipod and listen while doing dishes and when I go for walks. I decided this way I could still drop myself into Twilight world without spending hours on the couch sucked into the books. I do plan on reading them again one day though, just not.right.now. lol I also wanted to tell you that I love that you take pictures of yourself and post them all the time! I hate taking pictures and admire that you do that. I have a word art request also - "be where you are while you're there" <br /><br />:)Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00662085097517296000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576956386594856347.post-21849619798452128502009-05-26T23:23:37.224-04:002009-05-26T23:23:37.224-04:00Thanks for the WA - so cool.

She has 3 diff. series going. One is fantasy, the other 2 are historical romance w/ some time travel - very fun to read. :) Get the reading order at LynnKurland.com (fyi - she writes "clean" romance, not rated R :)) I would also second the vote for LM Montgomery - I may have to pick those up and read them again myself. <br />I have also heard good things about Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander" series and Wicked, but haven't read them myself yet.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02379774410120749941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576956386594856347.post-36715559104956844882009-05-26T21:30:09.661-04:002009-05-26T21:30:09.661-04:00Awesome word art!

I was able to borrow 3 & 4 so I can wait to buy in paperback ;-) I really liked Wicked & the sequel, Son of a Witch by Gregory Maguire; not quite as intense as Twilight, but I read them in pretty short time. (Wicked is The Wizard of Oz from the Wicked Witch of the West's point of view) So glad for you that Brent is home! Hope he doesn't have to leave again for quite some time (like never!)

Your life reminds me of mine when my kids were younger. <br /><br />One series I always read as they come out is the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. It starts with One for the Money and goes up to Fourteen (can't remember the name off hand). I know that Fifteen comes out in June.<br /><br />These books are soo funny! When I read them in bed at night, I have to cover my mouth with a pillow to keep from waking up my DH with my laughing. LOL<br /><br />I see Julia Dreyfus (don't think I got her name right) as Stephanie and Monique as her sidekick.

I've been reading a series ...Very nice. Thank you.<br /><br />I've been reading a series by Maria Snyder. The first book is "Poison Study" followed by "Magic Study" (the one I'm currently on), "Fire Study" and I forgot the newest one. I'm liking the books. There are twists and turns and little jaw droppers every once in awhile. My next series to tackle is the "Mortal Instruments" series by Cassandra Clare. I don't really have time to read either, but I listen to them on my iPod while doing things around the house.Tracey@Aloha Monkeyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12794682042984373582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576956386594856347.post-47366632481375119042009-05-26T09:42:53.826-04:002009-05-26T09:42:53.826-04:00I can think of lots of uses for this wa!
