Authors, Writers, Publishers, and Book Readers

So what are YOU reading just now?

Apart from your own work of course, lol. I've just started The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins late last night and am literally half a dozen pages into it so the jury's out yet on it.

Share what you're reading please, title and author. and what you think of the book (or books if you're reading more than one just now) so far! :) Who knows, we may all discover some new authors to add to our reading list. :)

And please, NO SPOILERS! Nothing worse than thinking a book sounds good only to hear the person give away the ending or a plot twist.

'Wolfsbane and Mistletoe' by a collective of authors. I started this book after reading all of the Sookie Stackhouse novels because Charlaine Harris was connected to it. However, I was very pleased to find that I liked all the other authors' stories even better! 'Many Bloody Returns' introduced many new authors as well. ( I'm not hooked on vampires and werewolves but these books are worthy of admiration if you like the supernatural at all and have a sense of humor.)

Hi Jenn,

There are A LOT of differences. Chloe is also described a lot different than she looks on the show. I'm about a third of the way through it. I have the edition with all three novels rolled into one. I really enjoyed the series. Too bad it was cancelled. :-(

Check out Shadow of Grace if you get a chance! I'm hooked on that one. More novels in the series will be coming out. I believe the next one comes out October 10th.

I read a new book out called "Climate Change: Our Children Are In Danger" by Mary Guay. A bit unorganized, although TONS of great research all backed by non-internet sources. http://amzn.to/1iy8MAw

I just got "First Love" by Violeta Barrett. Her true story of a love that happened through love letters. She has won awards, had guest appearances on radio and articles in numerous publications. Currently Hollywood is looking at it. http://amzn.to/LecHDD
