Love Carl Hiaasen, am working through Janet Evanovich's Plum series, have read most of John Grisham's books. Really liked and re-read all the time: Divine Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood (before they ever made a movie and made it famous) & The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3128611944406569759.post-75601958749140369922008-11-26T08:15:00.000+02:002008-11-26T08:15:00.000+02:00I have not heard of the Host.. let us know!I have not heard of the Host.. let us know!morewinepleasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04778757727496058772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3128611944406569759.post-11940958297382529382008-11-25T17:48:00.000+02:002008-11-25T17:48:00.000+02:00Gosh I read such a wide variety of stuff!

It is titled Hard Knocks and Straight Talk. It is about his time serving in the marines and also teaching. I was lucky enough to see him and have him sign my book!<BR/><BR/>I am afraid to even start the Twilight series, lol!Heather Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06724054211631768200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3128611944406569759.post-54211182154358439362008-11-25T14:12:00.000+02:002008-11-25T14:12:00.000+02:00Your choice of writers is really good!

Only problem is, it's damn hard to read anything else after a good Murakami! <BR/><BR/>I also veer towards crap like Jilly Cooper when I'm not in the mood to think, lol. <BR/><BR/>But I will most likely at least try and read anything really, if it looks vaguely readable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3128611944406569759.post-7491588556976642652008-11-25T11:54:00.000+02:002008-11-25T11:54:00.000+02:00TO ALL - Thanks for answering the question bloggy ...TO ALL - Thanks for answering the question bloggy pals, I am loving finding out what y'all are reading - very interesting.<BR/><BR/>Sleepyjane - I love Twilight too - Can not wait for the movie to come here.
