I love YA and NA novels wendylou - which is odd because I generally don't like first love stories - but I like reading about people on the cusp of adulthood where everything feels possible and heightened. I am going to have to check out The Fault in Our Stars. There is a YA/NA one on my wishlist - Wait For You by J. Lynn |

Most of my reading is done on ebooks from my old library. I just don't take the time to look at our current library for print books for myself (concentrate on getting the girls their books), and our currently library doesn't do ebooks. So a lot of my reading is either from the library collection or the freebie/cheaper Kindle books.
I like police procedurals, always fiction. I can't handle the true crime stuff. I'm still on the waiting list for the latest Rizzoli and Isles book by Tess Gerritsen. I'm also trying to read the Derrick Storm series that's featured on Castle. I've read all the Nikki Heat books they've made from the show. I also love Young Adult stuff like The Hunger Games. If you like The Hunger Games, I'd recommend the Divergent series by Veronica Roth. Divergent is the first book and Insurgent is the second one.
My current print books I'm reading are by a friend of mine, Sara Barnard. Her books are on Amazon, in print and Kindle format. If you like historical romance, I'd highly recommend her A Heart on Hold series. She's got two books published so far out of what she plans on being a 4-book series. It's set during the Civil War era.

That is really cool Rocky!
I like mystery, action, romance, a little fantasy. I used to love to go into the book store and dig through the bins and find the cheap books that nobody had ever heard of. You find some good reads that way.

Hubby just ordered me the last book from the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo books. A little dark, but good reads.

I just started Living Dead in Dallas. It's the second Sookie Stackhouse novel.
I used to read all of the time growing up and before I had kids.
Monica just read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

Gone Girl is a good whodunnit
The Hunger Games is a must!
The Paris Wife is well wriiten and engaging.
Major Pettigrew's Last Stand was very cute.
And if you like dark literature The BookThief is a good read.
I think Tara Road is one of my favorite Maeve B books.

Trey, I LOVED The Book Thief. Another one that's kinda dark is The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, the guy who wrote Coraline. Gaiman fashioned The Graveyard Book after The Jungle Book, only set in a cemetery with ghosts helping to raise the boy.
