I just finished The Other Boleyn Girl I can't say enough about it! It was a great book, and I couldn't put it down! The movie was excellent as well, but the book was so much better.

I just grabbed the first book in the "Ranger's Apprentice" series. It's a "young adult fantasy" genre book, but it's what my daughter is reading and I like to connect. She just got book 2 in the series at her school's book fair (where I grabbed Everlost). We've read all of the Harry Potter's together and the Eragon series (I already pre-ordered book 3 - Brizinger).

Well, I finished book one in "Rangers Apprentice" on my flight out here. It was actually quite enjoyable. I'd recommend that to any young adult readers who like fantasy/medieval knights. I didn't bring book 2, so either I'll have to buy it locally or wait until I return home to read that.

Hey Pixie,

You might enjoy "I, Vampire" by Michael Romkey. I read it about 15 years ago and enjoyed it very much.

I will have to look into that thanks :). I have read all the Anne Rice Novels and so I have been branching off and reading others.

I just went to the library, paid my $24 fine, and got out a whole bunch of dog books that you guys recommended. The one I'm reading right now is The Dog Listener. I'm on chapter 3 and I can't wait to get through it to see how I can do better by Maggie!!

Okay....

just read Solaris by Stanislav Lem (Loved it! Very fascinating sci fi novel)

Then Left Hand of Darkness- Ursula LeGuin (Very good. I thought the relationship between Genly Ai and Estaven was really interesting. Unique, isn't it?)

and now I'm reading City of Bones by Martha Wells (I'm LOVING it! I read 240 pages in one day and can't really put it down. But too bad it's out of print it was a pain trying to get a copy)

My last sci fi class book. :(

I'm definitely going to have to read more Wells and LeGuin...

Rereading the Harry Potter series... AGAIN. I got the boxed set after my seventh book finally fell apart (to match the rest) so I'm breaking it in.
