I love to read, I have been reading since I was a little girl. my mom tells me that she would hear me reading Dr. Seuss books. I didn't know how to read yet but from hearing them read to me and looking at the pictures, I was reading them. I remember begging my mom to buy me Nancy Drew books when I was a Brownie. I was reading adult fiction by...more »

    I haven't read Flight, but it sounds like Indian Killer is similar to it in the way it is written. I really liked it. Lone Ranger and Tanto Fistfight in Heaven is probably my favorite though.

    76 books in common, not too bad. :-)

    Chiller Sub Genre Game - Every 5 days I will announce what the featured sub genre of horror will be. By noon on the fifth day, I will need everyone participating to send me a personal note with what books they read, the author, and how many pages were read from each book. Any books read that are by the featured months authors will give you double pages for those books. Please indicate if you have already doubled the page amount you have sent me or not. I will keep a running tally of all of the members and the pages they have read. The person with the lowest amount will be eliminated each round, and the winner will receive a prize as yet to be determined. Please do not send in your page counts to "contact the admins" on the front page since one of the admins is participating.

    Any questions just ask here or send me a note. I will post the first subgenre today at noon CST, and page counts will need to be turned in by noon CST on August 13, 2008.

    Beth, the book swap letter should go out in the post tomorrow. I expect it will be about a week before you receive it. Let me know when it arrives. I also included a little note with it, my friend who sent me mine included one with hers so I did the same for all you guys. Excuse my terrible handwriting!

    Hello Beth!

    Can I ask you a favor? I just started an activity on my new group for The Newton Prophecies and I was hoping (since you read the novel and enjoyed it) that you might go and participate in the activity. My wife came up with the idea and I think it might be really great fun!

    Thank you so much! =)

    Thank you so much for joining the special group I've created for my book, The Newton Prophecies! I hope you will come and read about the book and all the fun and intriguing facts, theories, and hypothesis that went into writing it!

    Please come ask questions and tell your friends to come do the same. I am looking forward to answering them. Writing this book was a lot of fun, I enjoyed the research tremendously. I cannot wait to read what you thought of the book. If you haven't read it yet I do have a limited number of ARCs still available at 50% off MSRP. If you live in the United States you'll pay just $7.50 plus $2.00 shipping for a signed trade paperback. The final edition will be available this holiday season (November) in both trade paperback and hardcover.

    Again, I'd like to thank you for joining The Newton Prophecies group... See you soon! =)

    I read Jodi Picoult before she was cool lol. Seriously I read My Sister's Keeper when it very first came out, and I tried a bunch of her other ones and there was only one I really liked as much and to this day I can't remember the name of it. It was about a sex crimes prosecutor who's son is molested. I have never read Moore, what does he write?

    I have 2 basset hounds, Abby and Bob and a beagle Gracie Lou.

    It was purely the writing style on Pretty Girls and I could not get with Wicked Snow to save me. It felt like a teenager or something had written. I hated The Ruins also, creepy plants, oooohhh. (Sorry just got back from Dairy Queen I'm a little wired). Change of Heart got one star because it was very The Green Mile. Same idea, put a lot less entertaining and engaging.

    I have Newton to read yet, I am reading the Autobiography of Henry VIII right now and it is massive. I may have to split it up with some others I have to read. How did you like it?

    I did belong to Suspense/Thriller but I left. Way too many books in too little time in regards to all the groups I belong to, and after The Dollmaker I felt I was slamming the author and I really wasn't, there were just things about he book that didn't do it for me. I bought another one of hers to read to make amends lol :-)
