[grub17]

so classic books here girls!!! what a well read bunch you all are! lol

i'm also with the austen group and have read P&P a few times as well as Persuasion, which is my absolute fave austen novel.

otherwise The Amtrak Wars by Patrick Tilley. Anyone inot scifi/fantasty books will love this. It's a real mergeing of sci fi and fantasty and just fab. not the usual 'farm boy has a gift he doesn't know he has and then he rules the world once he masters his powers' stuff lol.

The Tide Lords by Jennifer Fallon - also a very interesting and different take on the fantasty genre. dh and i read these together and we still talk about them!

great thread

I've read Anne McCaffrey's entire 'Dragon Riders of Pern' series about 3-4 times. That's a LOT of books, lol!
