Oh, those Trixie Beldon and Nancy Drew books were my favorites. I still have the Nancy Drew series. :)Quote:

Now, I like Nora Roberts (most of hers), Mary Higgins Clark, or John Grisham. Probably the best book I have read in 5 years was A Painted House by Grisham.
My favourite book is Wolves of Time: Journey to the Heartland
I don't have a favourite author, nor a least favourite book. Although I have come across books that I don't enjoy in the least..
I read Nancy Drew as a kid too
I also like Kay Hooper.
and I love to be able to sit in a bookstore and read, or after gathering a stack of books, to sit down with them and see what all I have picked out, and what I want to buy...LOL
I also have about a dozen books on cats, cat behavior, cat health, etc... I have one of the "the cat who.." books by Lillian Jackson Brown, but can you believe I have not read it yet!:)
Oh yes!! I loved all of those books too, growing up!! How could I have forgotton about Sweet Valley High! OMG! I used to be so jealous because my best friend had the whole series! LOL :eek: I would always just borrow them from her.Quote:

Noahsmommy has me hooked on the Left Behind series right now! I was a little unsure at first, but as soon as I started reading the first one...I couldn't put it down! Very good books!
I too am counting the day until Harry Potter V comes out!! I've been re-reading the whole series and am almost finished with book IV now. Gosh...I can't imagine what the fifth one is going to be like!! :)
I read a lot of history--starting this fall I'm planning to read the Lewis and Clark journals day-by-day to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the expedition.
I love everything Scott ("Presumed Innocent") Turow has written. Gregory Maguire's "Wicked" is a favorite--that's a retelling of the Wizard of Oz story from the point of view of the highly misunderstood Wicked Witch of the West. Margaret Atwood's "The Blind Assassin." Anything by Tom Robbins.
And yes, I adore Harry Potter. I've got my preorder in for "The Order of the Phoenix."
For poetry, Sylvia Plath and Billy Collins. Complete opposite ends of the emotional spectrum.
that sounds interesting... I will have to read that! I can't wait to her her side of it, LOL.:pQuote:
