Oh, yes, Agatha Christie is good ... satisfies my detective tendencies:mf_rosetinted: I also liked "Little Women" - so nice and innocent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esperia75 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I read TOO MUCH. My fav books in this years are obviously "Harry Potter"'s saga. But I love Eoin Colfer' s Artemis Fowl and Ian McEwan and Stephen King's book. The best books are for me two: 1) The neverending Story - Michael Ende 2) Il nome della rosa - Umberto Eco Now I'm reading "Saturday" by Ian McEwan...and I'm waiting July, 21, for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"...This will be a fatigue...all in english Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikafish Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I'm currently reading "Gene" and right now I can't remember the author's name! But on Friday night/saturday morning I'll be at a bookshop picking up my copy of the new Harry Potter and that will have all my attention until I've finished it!

Ju.Thulc-girl Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 CazGirl...I LOVE the Shopaholic books...I am right in the midst of reading one right now! I am a total bookworm...I love reading books and I even have a *ahem* "reading list" where I list each book I've read, the date I started it and finished it...etc... Yeah, I'm a nerd heheh I have a list too ! But I don't write down how long it takes me. Right now I'm reading "Body of Evidence" From Patricia Cornwell. I love Postmortem by her, though it's a bit.. hmmm strong and shocking. Oh ! Wait ! That's why I like it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bttrflykisses88 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Right now I'm reading the 8th, and last:emot-sad:, book in the Love Comes Softly series by Janette Oak. They are really good books if you like Christian/historical fiction with some romance. I also like to read mystery and bios if they are for people that I like.
