I love all kinds of books,I get them from goodwill/yardsales/used bookstore. Sometimes,I felt that I'm right there,walking along the beach or someone is after me. Ater I read them,I pass them on. I do collect John Sandford/Nora Roberts/Fern Michaels and Catherine Coutler. The problem that I've is finding Western Books for my aunt,she is in a wheelchair so all she does is watch tv or read.Around here,you can't find them at yardsales/flea markets,even used bookstore want high prices,I go to walmarts and bought them for her. I got pick-up Tribute-Nora R./Phantom Prey-John S. and The Adventures of Slim & Howdy-Brooks&Dunn

I like her but she has so many characters in her books.Especially the Sisters. I get a lot of my novels at the library 4 for a buck.What are you looking for did you mean westerns ,like John Wayne type? Louie lou moore?Not sure weither I spelled that right. |

She like all kinds of westerns,Louis L'Amour is one of her favorites and William W.Johnstone I do go to the Library and get her books but it is getting hard to find books that she hasn't already read.I haven't pick-up her new book of the Sister's yet.Maybe I'll get it this weekend.

I loved the The Sisterhood. Each book always leaves you wanting more. I hope she continues those girls are a hoot.
Popcorn the next time I ride I will think of you and maybe you can free the vibes. |

Whenever I find the time to finish "The Kite Runner", I will read the 2nd and 3rd "Sisterhood" books. My son also brought those over for me to read while I'm getting better. Glad to hear they are good! |

Popcorn, if you REALLY like westerns, you should contact the University of Oklahoma press. They have exclusive rights to the autobiaugraphy of "Tom Horn". The best REAL western I ever read.
Lots of factual history of the southwest. They only print so many & you may have to send in your payment & wait for the book. |

I read a lot also, like all kinds of books except sci-fi or romance novels. Recently read a book called Lottery Winner, was very good currently reading On Bear Mountain (picked it up at the Goodwill) Also read Twilight recently, not to impressed with that one. I ran out and bought the first 2 books in the twilight series..because I saw the movie twilight and thought it was pretty good. I agree with you, the first book disappointed me greatly. The second book was better, so I will continue with the series. |

I love to read, also! Over the weekend, I finished "Plain Truth" by Jodi Picoult, and started "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown. One of my Xmas gifts was a book about Civil War battlefields in Virginia, and I'm reading it before bed. Sage, my husband loves reading Clive Cussler and has a ton of his books. I'll talk with him, and get a list together of what he has, -- maybe you guys could trade books. I enjoyed the book angels and demons. |
