Hi, I notice that you are a member of the Agatha Christie group. I have recently taken over as Administrator for the group and have set up some new discussions. Please tell us a bit about yourself in the Introduction thread and come and join us in discussions on the wonderful Agatha Christie and her works.

As promised, I've added more books to my shelf, which has inspired me to add even more books to my real shelf :p. I may not have 555 books on my shelf like you, but I'm slowly catching up ;)

I found my first copy totally by random luck in 1996. My Great Aunt got a box of romance novels from a book sale and asked my sister and I if we wanted any. I said no, my sister said yes and pulled out Lost Souls from amongst the trashy novels. It was hard cover and had no book cover on it just black and red binding. My sister ended up throwing it to the side and I picked it up and instantly fell in love. I've actually talked to Poppy through Live Journal and have been following her blog for a few years now. She is a really interesting person, its too bad she is not really writing anymore.

Thanks for the invite, M.A.
I'd forgotten how much I loved Poppy (and Lost Souls).
I just ordered Wormwood and Drawing Blood.

Lol yes, it's all your fault you mad book fiend :p! LMAO! My book was written by the lead singer of Journey?! I was wondering why Journey lyrics were integrated into the book:

"The X-Wings configured in attack formation converged on the deadly wheel in the sky, as it just kept on turning!" :p

lol how do you know how many words per minute you can read? Or the average? Read at your own pace, Jamie. :3 Enjoy the book. Savor it. I wish I read slower, or that I could. I go through books so quickly I don't have enough time to properly enjoy them.

Oh right and Trevors like a nutjob and attked his friend. XD Yeah, i've read them both! I've been meaing to get them, but I never have the money. XD I checked them out from the liabrary a while back. They were both really good. XD Does she have any other good ones? Cause I think i'm just familiar with those three. (Drawing Blood is still my favorite, though. I own that one XD)

Yes, her modern fairy stories are great. :-D
And if into horror, I got a Lovecraftian story of mine, "Azathoth is Here" accepted for first issue of this new online Lovecraft horror zine, Innsmouth Press that starts in June. Here's their link: http://www.innsmouthfreepress.com/ .

I checked out his catalogue on Amazon and wow, he's got a lot of stuff out. I see where they made a comparison to King's The Stand (one of my favorite books in the world) and Needful Things (never read). I've really been out of the horror genre for a long time. Except for Exquisite Corpse, I've been reading almost exclusively contemp romance, erotic romance, and paranormal romance for the last decade or so (probably because it's what I write). I'm reading Intensity by Dean Koontz in addition to the Ione book, but it's slow going and I've been reading it for several weeks. Not because it's slow or bad. It's just my bedside book and I only read it every once in a while. Not a good idea to read before bed though. It's very...intense (guess I shouldn't have it at my bedside, huh ;) I used to read Koontz a lot a long while back, then just stopped (I think I read several books in a row where the endings just seemed anticlimactic and I got turned off). Just started another book (bike book) called The Abduction by Mark Giminez. It's crime/thriller/suspense and pretty good so far. I read a legal thriller by him a little while back that was good, but I can't remember the title. Speaking of The Stand, I read a book a few years ago called 8 Days by Barri L. Bumgarner that was similar but had a voice and charm all its own. Very good book I'd recommend. Have you read any Octavia Butler? She's science fiction (but not the techy, hard-core stuff. More the social commentary stuff). Her last book (published a little before her death) was a vampire story called Fledgling that you might be interested in. I love everything she's ever written, but that was her first vampire story.

Wow, I've been rambling!

Hope you're having a great week :)
