I read...a lot. as in 1 book per week. I have a favorite author, Wendy Mass, but I only have three of her books left to read (once I get the shipment), then I've read all her books. I was wondering if anyone had any good books for me to read. I like many different kinds, but I'm not into all the Sci-Fi stuff. Tell me your book and I'll see if I've already read it, if not I'll look into ordering it. Thank you!

Well if you like murder/mystery/supernatural check out these authors...they're my favorite

Jeferey Deaver- I main like like the Lincoln Rhyme Novels
Tami Hoag - Thin Dark Line is my favorite
Kay Hooper - The Special Crimes Unit ones...or is it Bishop Special Crime Unit...

Kay and Tamie both write romance as well, course I dispise romance novels so I have no idea how they are written, but if they are written like the romantice scences in their other books....then wow....

Oh...I never really noticed that before. I do like Final Fantasy and the girl that gave me this account originally cosplayed Yuna or Rikku. Now that you mention it though, I can see how you would think that. I just really liked the dress lol never really thought about it.

Uh...estimated about 15,000 for the dress, then another 70,000 for the tattoo which can wait.

Hmmm... let me look at my bookshelf right now...
Hmmph- most of it is Sci-Fi... sorry.
Oh! I do have a most fantastical sort of series called Fablehaven by Brandon Mull.
Have you ever read the Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis? Can't go wrong with some classics.
This whole book series you might read in a whole week because they are really easy: On the Run series by Gordon Korman. Those are neat. It's most of a real-life scenario, not sci-fi, its about a brother and sister escaping juvie to prove that their parents, convicted of terrorism, are innocent.

Hmmmmmm .... I really don't have any books that aren't sci-fi but here are some authors that you may like and I like too:

Eoin Colfer- He writes the Artemis fowl series and some other cool kinda fantasy books.

J.R.R. Tolkien- The hobbit and Lord of the Rings, then there's the Sil marillion(it's a sequel to lord of the rings) and he has other books that are awesome.

Eric Walters- He writes modern day stories like for instance: Just deserts or Shattered.

epical awesome

Thank you so much. I have read the first 3 books of Chronicles of Narnia, got lost somehow. And my mom was just telling me the other day that The Hobbit was a really good book. So I'll check into those.

If you're into fantasy, check out Christopher Stasheff. The Oathbound Wizard is brilliant.

You might also try the Magic Kingdom of Landover series by Terry Brooks. I've just started it myself, and I can hardly put it down.

I hate romance novels as well, but I'm having a difficult time not recommending The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. The imagination in that book is absolutely staggering, and the romantic side of the story is definitely more on the back burners than the rest of the plot is.

Another good fantasy one (well two...i think...might be more lol) is Witch and Wizard by James Patterson. I got the first book in manga form. and since im too impatient, I bought the second book (The Gift) in paper back. And OMG is it GOOD!! I HATE putting it down! I so intend to by the first book in paper back lol.

And, not sure what genre to put this in...just plain old fiction i guess...George Orwell's (sp?) 1984. I cant seem to put that one down either lol.
