Book recommendations?

[judy]

What is everybody reading? Anything good to recommend? I saw some on Diana's new quiz. I am always looking for a good book.

I love to read books by Karen Kingsbury. My favorite is Ocean's Apart. Have the tissues nearby though.

I rec'd two new books for Christmas and then I bought one when Lynne and I went to the Pet Expo. I've started reading The Happy Dog by Bill Rafferty. We also met him at the expo. He is Oprah's groomer. So far I really like the book.

The two I rec'd for Christmas were How to Raise the Perfect Dog by Cesar Milan and Letters To My Sister by Maya Angelou. Can't wait to start reading the last one, but I need to clear my head a bit so I can really enjoy it.

I am almost finished reading this best seller from the NYTimes called "Firefly Lane " by Kirstin Hannah.. It is truly a good book and will warm your hearts. Most of us grew up in the early 70s and will relate to this.. I recommend it.

LOVED IT!!! Enjoy! Have you read Duma Key, or Lisey's Story? Both are excellent.
I am an avid Stephen King fan. Are you?

[Janet]

That sounds like a good one Gina.

Judy....are Stephen King books horror books? I somehow have that in my mind. Never read any of his books, just saw previews of some movies and not sure I would like that. Tell me a bit more about him and his books please.

Janet I never was interested in his books either, I saw a movie on tv based on his book and it was scary. I am not into horror books either, I believe his books are based on that...

[judy]

Definitely horror! They are scary, and so are the movie adaptations of his stuff.

If you don't like scary, keep away from Stephen King!

[DianaB]

I don't read anything by Stephen King either. I don't watch his movies either.....too scary for me!!!

Right now Karen Kingsbury is my very favorite author. Her books really draw you into them. She is a fantastic writer!!! You can find them at Wal-mart.

Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas series is brilliant! I still have the second and third. I like listening to him on audiotapes in the car. There is a great website for Odd Thomas.
