New books, oh my!

I love to read posts about other bloggers' favorite books.

There is nothing quite like getting lost in a great book. Especially if that book is one in a series, or the author has written many books that you can look forward to reading.

I got lost in the Outlander series two years ago, and there is finally a new book coming out next month (thanks for the reminder, Jenny!) Sexy men in kilts, intrigue, history, medicine and enduring love...Diana Gabaldon is the master of weaving all these into incredible novels.


My other two favorite authors, Stephen King and Dean Koontz, are also coming out with new books this November. I can't wait! Nothing like curling up with a good scary book when it's cold and snowy outside!

So, what's your favorite book or two or three? Do you love to read? Do you have a favorite author that you recommend to everyone? C'mon, let's have us a mini book club right here!

Well, I do love to read. As for a favorite author? I do enjoy Stephen King. But I also love Jodi Piccoult. I love books in general. Love the Left Behind Series - those are amazing. East of Eden - pure perfection. We Need To Talk About Kevin - simply amazing. To Kill A Mockingbird - classic literature. Anything by Jane Austen - LOVE!! I could go on, but then it would be my blog and not yours. LOL.

I love to read, but have a hard time concentrating lately. I haven't read a book all the way through since the Twilights. It's sad really. When do you find the time?

Oh, there is a lot about to come out. I have Echo in the Bone on preorder at Amazon (and I am usually a library person!). The sequel to the Hunger Games. The sequel to Graceling. Dan Brown has a new one - The Lost Symbol - coming in September, too.

You know I love to read & amazing books... I'm still telling everyone to read "The Noticer" - FANTASTIC!!!!

Right now, I'm reading the cutest book called "Miss Invisible" - a cute novel about an over weight Christian girl trying to fit in a "skinny world"... so far, its just adorable!

Is the title really Echo in the Bone?

That sounds like porn.

Lemme know how you like it. I'll take your word.

And I love you.

I've read the Outlander series about three times all the way through. Love her stuff. I also like David Robbins. He writes WWII historical fiction.

And Janet Evanovich just for creating Stephanie Plum. She makes me laugh (and my husband reads them all too)!
