I attempted the girl with the Dragon tattoo and it was a bit of a snore fest and I lost interest... I'm reading The tomorrow series now (Tomorrow, when the war began...) which I'm quite enjoying (and it's extremely easy to read with little ones around!)

Loved that series!

Oooh I loved the Tomorrow series too!

I've just bought The Hunger Games, can't wait to start that.

ATM, have gotten right into a book called "Pulse", by Acacia Green. It's the first book in a series (The Binuit-Namri chronicles) and it is actually written by one of our very own BB members. She's only published it on Kindle, but I got one for Christmas so I thought I'd be supportive and download it.

I am really enjoying it! Bit like Twilight meets Hitchhiker's Guide meets... what was the movie with the aliens made out of light? Can't remember. Anyway, it is pretty good so far!

If you've got a Kindle, give it a look. It's quite cheap too!

There are 3 more books called the "ellie cronicles' when you finished the tomorrow series....they are what happens when the first series ends and i enjoyed them just as much as the tomorrow series!

I got a Kobo for Xmas and have read so many books already I'm loving it.... cant even remember what I have been reading - Vampire diaries (not so good after the third book), hunger games (fantastic) and lots of James Patterson books. I think DH regrets buying it for me as he says my nose is always in it.....

manhattan - oh my gooseberries, I *loved* that series ... I even ended up getting the fourth book (Tatiana's Table) even though it's mostly recipes, with a few little snippets of more of their story thrown in for the fans ...

myturn - thanks for the suggestions!!

Oh me to, I loved the bronze horesman series. I am currently reading the anita blake series by Laurell K hamilton. Set around the same time as true blood, with vampires having outed themselves, but the protagonist is a necromancer, vampire executioner, and animator. Interesting if you are into that kind of thing.

[LuluHB]

I loved the Bronze Horseman series too,

Peanutter - have you read "Life is Good"? Its a true story about a very old negro man who learns to read for the first time in his I think 80s or even 90s, but goes back through his incredible life. It is a very worthwhile story, and while not all hearts and flowers it won't give you nightmares! Otherwise, Geraldine Brooks' People of the Book is very good too - likewise very interesting, thought provoking read but not horrific. Her Year of Wonders is brilliant too.

I'm struggling to get time with Shantaram. Its been so hot here that the girls are going crazy being confined to indoors, so not much peaceful time for me.

I've read that series as well....got waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too into the sex side of things, and kinda ruined it for me

There is talk of it being made into a tv series LC

[Little Chicken]

Yeah, I've been told it gets quite 'steamy' from book 5 onwards.

[~~Snoogans~~]

lol *STEAMY* ain't the word for it!!

If you are into the whole vampire type story lines, in a series, I LOVE the Sherrilyn Kenyon *Dark Hunter* series.

Glad to see there are some other Bronze Horseman fans about. And I will have to look into Tatiana's Table, thanks for the tip peanutter!

Atm I am reading Caught by Harlan Coben. Typical murder mystery which smells of a setup! I really like his books and his style of writing. Although I do prefer his Myron Bolitar series as I know and love all the characters. Caught is just a standalone book.

Looking forward to reading some of your recomendations once I am done with this one

[peanutter]

so I'm supposed to be catching up on some of my anti-human trafficking and social justice reading next (I tend to alternate non fiction and fiction books, to give my brain some down time) but am wondering whether, now that my preggo hormones are catching up with me, and I'm still having quite vivid dreams, whether now might *not* be the time to be reading about such things ...

and then I feel guilty about wanting to pick up another novel, instead of reading something important.

so I'm at a bit of a stalemate ladies ... what to read??

who needs to read something important!!! Reading for relaxation is supposed to be.... relaxing...

I strongly recommend The Ancient Future trilogy by Traci Harding.... starts off romantic/historical/sci fi, and ultimately gives you lots of food for thought. I LOVE them.....
there's a few other trilogies that follow on from it too... they are easy reads, but to make you think about your own beliefs - plus they are lovely and romantic and full of adventure as well!!

The other author I like, is David Eddings - particularly The Belgarid series and related. Starts with Pawn of Prophecy and it's about a young man's journey into adulthood. It's fantasy... and it's great
