Heehee =P Oh, by the way, it's actually 45 - but I can't remember what the name of the spy book is, the children's series that isn't available here yet? Oh wait, found it on your list. =D

Did you enjoy the Stephanie Meyer books?

I'm not sure if you'd like their stuff but I recommend Ayelet Waldman, Michael Chabon, Jodi Picoult, and Francesca Lia Block.

Very, very much.

I don't really enjoy Jodi Picoult (I listed some of her stuff, above) - I can only manage one of her books every so often as I find her works to be very similar. I'll check the other authors out though - thanks =).

A lot of stuff I don't know...Decoy Princess has a sequel, Princess at Sea. I'd recommend the Young Wizards series by Diane Duane (young adult SF/F section), the Nightside series by Simon R. Green (adult SF/F section), the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher (adult SF/F section - read AFTER Simon R. Green!), the Black Jewels trilogy by Anne Bishop (adult SF/F section), the Blood sextet by Tanya Huff, followed by the Smoke trilogy (so far) by the same author (both in adult SF/F section), the Women of the Otherworld series - starting with Bitten, reading till Broken, then switching to Dime Store Magic - by Kelly Armstrong(adult SF/F section), and...there was another series I was going to advise, but my mind has blanked...I'll repost if I recall it.

Yes, I'd seen that. Have you read it?

I'll check out those other authors as well. Someone I'm staying with is trying to get me to look at Simon R. Green. I've read Anne Bishop's stuff already. The other stuff looks really interesting though. =D

Thanks honey.

Oh oh oh! I remembered! Poison Study, which seems to have two sequels (which I haven't read but am sure are EXCELLENT), and...I can't remember who wrote it. I think the last name starts with an R or S - check that section of the adult SF/F section, and keep scanning till you find it. Worth the search!

And yes, I read it - it was good too!

Cool, cool. I might chase down a copy then.


Actually, yeah, I listed Poison Study as a want-to-read on Facebook. It looks interesting! So, yeah, will be able to find or order when I have $ again. =D

I never remember to count books. And if I did, it would be so weird/off this year, anyway, because I would refuse to count all the cheap romance novels I've been reading, and probably wouldn't count the children's books I've started reading to The Belly, since they take like 5 minutes each. And I'm not sure whether the pregnancy books would count, because I don't read them in order, though I end up reading the whole thing. And I never know whether to count re-reads.

But currently, I'm reading The Chess Garden, Saltwater Aquariums for Dummies, and The Foot Book (by Dr. Seuss, to The Belly, once every couple days). While the latter two are rather specific-interest, I'd highly recommend The Chess Garden by Brooks Hansen (at least so far; I'm only 2/3 through it). I should probably go update my facebook bookshelf thingy.

Yeah. I'd sort of go elitist on myself (not to anyone else counting) and probably not include any historical etc romances. Haha, cute!

Ok, I've counted re-reads. And even if I've put a book aside and read something else before resuming and finishing, I've still counted it.

Lol, I will check it out =)
