Yea, now that you mention it im freaking myself out looking at the pic laugh. Keith Urban where are you?
it's just my expression.

I read "She's come Undone" as well. I believe it was an Oprah book club choice. The plot didn't stick, but I remember that It was touching.

Writing the Mind Alive -- The Proprioceptive Method for Finding Your Authentic Voice.

Obviously a non-fiction piece, but interesting.

The Dark Elf Trilogy was good. I read that about ten years ago. I was tempted to read The Mist, but figured it would spoil the movie. Where is Waldo? My friend, Ken, back in highschool looked exactly like Waldo.
What I've read recently.: Charlie Bone & The Beast. It's the latest installment of the Charlie Bone series. If you like Harry Potterish stuff, check out the series. Midnight for Charlie Bone is the first book. I stopped liking the Harry Potter books after book four. The Charlie Bone books have been concistantly good.
I've been reading a manga series called Hana Kimi. It is fantastic. It's about a girl that dresses as a guy to stay at an all-guys dorm and meet the boy of her dreams. He ends up being her roomate. The series is clever, somewhat realistic, and deep. Book 20 of 23 just came out.
I need to get back into a bumber of book series that I lost interest in. One book I'm waiting for is Bok 5 of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice & Fire. I believe it'll be called something like a Dance with Dragons or something like that. It's a gritty, compelling, and adult fantasy series about survival, greed, tyranny, and Fuedalism. And the books are all around 700-800+ pages.
This past summer, I read The Spiderwick Books. And next spring they have a movie coming out. It's about three children who live with their mom and move to an old house (an aunts, I believe) out in the middle of nowhere. The house and nearby woods turn out to be the homes of fairies, goblins, and a foul troll. Very good series. Short books, though.
Also, read Inkheart in that time frame. It involves a guy who can read people out of a book (by mistake- some villians) and his daughter. This, too, will be a movie next spring. These villians (from a magical world) get a taste of modern times and want to go back to their world with guns and stuff.

I am reading Poland now By James Michener.

I have been reading Poland for weeks....noway

It is long but interesting. Michener can be very boring, but after you read his books, you say, "I am glad I read that"!flowerforyou

I have reread all my books so many times that tomorrow I am going to buy some new ones

Anyone who likes westerns, I will recommend Zane Grey, Louis L'Amour, Ralph Compton, Ralph Cotton, and Terry Johnstone........excellent writers, they bring to life the scenery, and what the world was like back when the west was being developed
