When it comes to me and what books I choose to read, I usually fall under the spell of mushy romance novels. My imagination runs wild during the hot and heavy romps that I'm exposed to in the delicious books I pick out. But recently I've broadened the types of books I've been reading. I still pick up a romance novle, but I enjoy something that's funny, like 3X Carlin: An Orgy Of George by George Carlin, Lamb by Christopher Moore, Why We Suck by Denis Leary, The Groucho Letters by Groucho Marx, and Harpo Speaks! by Harpo Marx. I need the book to draw me in instantly. But lately I've been reading books that my favorite show Bones is based upon. So I've picked up a few books by Kathy Reichs and I LOVE them. So far I've read Monday Mourning by Kathy Reichs and Break No Bones by Kathy Reichs. I recommend every book I'm mentioning.
I usually hated the books I had to read for school. If I ever had to read MacBeth again, I'd rather be shot in the foot. I'm not into that kind of writing. To me it sounds so illiterate and boring. I don't like when I have to do research on every single page of ONE Act! It's ridiculous. If it were something that needed interpreting, don't you think it would be written simply? Nah. Of course it wouldn't. That's what made up my entire first semester my senior year in high school. I hope Shakespeare is happy. The old coot.
Yes, I've read the Twilight Saga, well most of it. I haven't finished Breaking Dawn, I have them all here though. When I get the time I'll just start over. I've read other vampire books also. There's one by Lyndsay Sands Vampires Are Forever, that was really good. It's apart of a series as well. I've read some novels with "Highlander" in the title.
I recommend anything by Sarah Dessen, though. The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen, would probably be my favorite of hers, so far. I can't say I have an absolute favorite book of all time, but I've read a lot of good books that I would recommend to anyone.
I use an application on Facebook called Visual Bookshelf. It's where you find the books you have read, are currently reading, or want to read. It saves them to your "bookshelf" and you can rate the book, write a review for the book, recommend the book to one of your Facebook friends, and there's an option where you choose if you own the book, want the book, or borrowed the book. It's a great and simple application that I love! But applications would be another blog altogether when it comes to Facebook. I've found a couple of books through Virtual Bookshelf, that I will reserve from the Library when I get my pile of books down. I don't want to overwhelm myself with books, again. I'm very good at doing that. The two books I'm looking at are: Sworn To Silence by Linda Castillo and Pray For Silence by Linda Castillo. They seemed very interesting, being a murder mystery about a family of Amish, from Holmes County, Ohio, slaughtered in their home. Being fascinated by murder mysteries now, I thought I'd add those books to the list on that application. They were recommended to me, through the application. And from that I'm loving the application more and more. It helps me organize what I read and what I am reading and what I want to read. I love that I get to recommend books. It makes me wish I was friends with EVERYONE on Facebook, so I could recommend books to ALL OF YOU, whoever you might be.
