I mostly read fictional novels: historical romance, LDS fiction, adventure & thriller, classical, teen novels (yes, one of my fav.), etc. My favorite classes in high school and college were my English classes, not for the grammar, but for the books and discussion. I joined our ward bookgroup here in Hyde Park and even organized it during the summer. I just can't get enough of those books that I can totally get lost in and forget about reality for a while.
I admit I'm a huge Twilight fan and am totally going to see the movie opening night! I will even indulge in reading the celebrity gossip on occasion, don't tell anyone. I already have 2 bookshelves full of books because if it's a good book, I don't just want to read it, I want to own it. It's just the way I am.
Lately I have found a new series that rocks my world and I wanted to share them with you.
If you haven't read these books, you should! And if you have any book recommendations for me, please tell me! I am always looking for a new, good book.

That is a pretty good series. We read them last summer. Interesting idea and a fairly fluid storyline. Good choice.
I think all of you ex-haddocks like to read alot... must run in the family... I wish i was more into reading like you guys... have a good day.
If you love collecting books you will be in trouble when the kids come! I can't resist the book orders they bring home from school! Blake cusses me, his mom is a librarian, and he thinks we could save money if we'd just check them out - but like you, I want to OWN them! I'll have to give your new suggestions a try! Thanks!

Thanks, I will defiantly have to check these books out. I havent even heard of them.
I love a good book!
I had no idea you were just like Adam in the "owning books/DVD's because they are good and you just have to have it" I have just this year (after moving 7 times in our marriage) talked Adam into borrowing them from the library. We still have a bookshelf full in mom & dads barn, a full bookshelf in their basement and now we are filling up another here...luckily we have a "freebie bin" for our apartment complex and Adam has found most of the books there.
And once in a while we find some good books at yard sales for 50cents each!
I read them last year and I really liked them. I didn't read Extras because it didn't really fit in with the other three! I recommend reading Shannon Hale's books. I really liked Princess Academy and the Goose Girl series. I need to get your email address and I will invite you to join Goodreads. It is a sight that you can check out books that other people like.
I'll have to check those books out. They look like they would be fun. And, I like your blog :).
Hey, sorry we didn't make the party. I meant to RSVP, but I thought we would make it. My flight was canceled due to bad weather, so I got in late last night. I hope it was fun. Oh, I read the "pretties".
They must be good books. I looked them up on the library website to put a hold on the first one and I am 14th on the waiting list. And this is the library system for every library in Salt Lake County. Good thing though because the library closest to us doesn't have them.
