I've done this, and you're right, it's addictive. Now I'm always giving my books away. LOL>
Topic: RE: My name is NA and I am addicted.....to books!!!
Hi NA. I love all the same authors as you. Here are some more you might enjoy:
Dennis LeHane (wrote Mystic River; everything he's written I've loved)
Lawrence Block
Sharyn McCrumb (fave book is She Walks These Hills)
I've loved to read ever since I learned how. My mother told me that one year for my birthday (around 8 or 9) I told her I wanted Braille lessons for a present because that way if I ever went blind I would still know how to read. Weird little kid.
Topic: RE: Any Anne Rice readers out there?
Anne Rice is my hero. She also had WLS. Her erotica is awesome. I love everything she writes.

Topic: POST FROM SHARON NEVA:
There is a rumor going around that Momma Angel has passed away---
THIS IS NOT TRUE
I just talked to her daughter Rebecca- things are looking very bleak, they have called all the family to her side - however, Momma Angel is still alive.
I have direct contact with the family and the entire board can rest assured that when and if Momma passes, you will be notified by me or by the OH staff.

Topic: RE: Dan Brown
John Sandford is on par with Cornwell. I think they are very good. Sort of like Patterson. If you want HILARIOUS, go with Janet Evonavich. They are the funniest crime fiction you'll find anywhere. I laughed so hard I had tears! She has nine in the series (One For the Money, etc.)and they are a great lighthearted read that still satisfies the crime fiction desire.

Topic: For all you readers......
Go to www.bookcrossing.com. This is a great site where you can put a note in a book you no longer want or need and "release it into the wild" by putting it in the post office or a bus stop or a restaurant table . Just leave it and the note directs the finder to read the book and then go to the website and do a review and then "release" it again. I had a book that originated in Wisconsin (I'm in Texas) and had taken the book with her for a visit to family here in Corpus and "released" the book and I found it at an outside cafe. This site has people from all over the world. Some books have been released in other countries or come from other countries to here. There are also reviews and a message board. Check it out. It's addictive. Andrea
Topic: RE: My name is NA and I am addicted.....to books!!!
Hello NA!!!! I'm partial to historical novels, generally by Rutherford and Dunnett. I particularly like Rutherford. I've read SARUM and LONDON and THE FOREST. I like stories about kings and queens and knights. I guess every little girl's dream, to live in King Arthur's court and wear the beautiful gowns. My husband says if I had lived back then I would probably be a serf and not aristocracy, hahahhahahahha. He's probably right. Andrea
Topic: RE: great book recommendation
It sounds like a great book. I am going to go get it if I can find it here locally!

Am so glad to have found this forum! Bibliophiles unite!!
In any event, thought I would share with you some of the authors I have come to love. The list is extensive, so I will try to only name those that haven't been recently listed:
Gerritsen, Tess - fave book of hers the Sinner
Kay Hooper - Thief series (Once a, Always a...) are good reads.
Linda Fairstein - fave book is The Bone Vault
Coben, Harlan - just finished Tell No One, again
Deaver, Jeffrey - anything he writes I have liked
Just ordered Therapy by Jonathan Kellerman, Ties that Bind by Philip Margolin, Sleep Tight by Anne Frasier, 3rd Degree by James Patterson, Firestorm by Iris Johansen, No Second Change by Harlan Coben. If anyone is interested in my review of them, let me know. I will be reading furiously, while camping, LOL.
Again, thanks for being here and I am looking forward to hearing other reviews.
Topic: RE: Any Anne Rice readers out there?
I love Anne Rice too. Just finished Blood Canticle. I live in the New Orleans area so it feels very familiar and spooky.
I love JK Rawling too. I also read a lot of (everything written by) Dean Koontz and Stephen King.
