(Cleek) Bookwormzzz

I read books like that occasionally. It's nice to mix it up - like I'll be reading some serious book about a lawyer one week then the next it's some girl falling in love at the beach. Romantic stories are always fun to read (if you're that kind of girl )

Ok, so I STILL have not gone to bed.  I was working on our siggie and came across this cute little dude.  NOW I think I will go to bed...ha!
Talk to you all tomorrow and you can tell me what you think about him

If you would like to be part of the Bookwormzzz, feel free to copy this little guy in your siggie!

Hi! I want to be a Bookwormz!! Once I go back to work in September I may not have much time to read, but I have a ton of books and love reading. 
Has anyone here read "1,000 Splendid Suns" or "The Kite Runner" I have both and am trying to decide which to read next. My husband things I'd like Splendid Suns" better.

Jay (my husband) said he thought I'd like 1,000 Splendid Suns better since it was more of a female perspective. Also I already saw the The Kite Runner movie and I'm afraid since I know the ending I will be less motivated to finish it somehow. I hate watching a movie before I have read the book! So I think I am leaning toward Splendid Suns...I think I'll start it tonight!   

BTW, if anyone is interested in kids books, I'm a teacher and have tons of recommendations. We just read Dr. Suess' "My Many Colored Days" and I love it more and more everytime I read it!

I have to say the most amazing kids books are 'The Enchanted Wood' series. I still have them and read them a couple of times a year, they are amazing!

Other than that ive been reading art/crime/murder novels at the moment, the latest was 'Labyrinth' by Kate Mosse. Its pretty good actually.

Edited due to bad spelling.

They are brilliant! Theres three books- The Enchanted Wood, The Magic of the Faraway Tree andThe Folk of the Faraway Tree.
And i got it wrong its 'The faraway Tree Collection' by Enid Blyton!!!!

Order them, especially if you have young children!

I just finished the constant princes by Phillipa Clark (?)  she is the same author as the other Bolyn Girl.  it was interesting.  not a must read but not too bad either.
I woud love some referrals.  I read all kinds of things in the summer I like lighter novel "brain candy" while in winter I will read something more serious or scarry

I think you mean Phillipa Gregory? I understand how in the summer you don't like heavy reading. Hmm... if you want romantic light stuff, I recommend Cecilia Ahern (?) who wrote P.S. I Love You. The movie was really sweet too. Actually, I liked the movie better. She also wrote, If You Can See Me Now.

Great topic! No matter where I am I always have a book in my purse or tote bag. Thought I would give a few recommendations that I haven’t seen listed yet.

If you love animals: When Elephants Weep by Masson and McCarthy and Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls.

Humorous contemporary romance with a country/redneck twist: anything by LuAnn McLane. Great light reading and funny.

If you’re into paranormal romance or vampires: anything by Laurell K. Hamilton. Definitely adults only!


And has anyone read The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch and Jeffrey Zaslow? I just saw his interviews and am thinking about buying the book. Anyone recommend it? Thanks!

I've heard nothing but good things about The Last Lecture. My two close friends loved it and said it was very moving. The professor just passed away last week. Anyhow, that's on my to read list. 

And OHMYGOSH, Where the Red Fern Grows used to be one of my favorite books as a child. I cried so much at the end. It is a must read for everyone--it can truly touch the human heart. Sadly, not a lot of people seem to know about that book anymore.

**Note to self: Go renew library card.
