    Have you read any of these?

    I've got WAY too many books checked out from the library. I want to read them all, but I'm trying to figure out order I should read them in. I was wondering if anyone here had read any of them and what you thought. Anyway, here is the list

    One True Theory of Love by Laura Fitzgerald
    The Faraday Girls by Monica McInerney
    The Wednesday Sister by Meg Waite Clayton
    Fireflies in December by Jennifer Erin Valent
    Forever Changes by Brendan Halpin
    The Girls from Ames by Jeffrey Zaslow
    The Mercy Papers by Robin Romm
    Who by Fire by Diana Spechler
    Dear Husband by Joyce Carol Oates
    Matters of the Heart by Danielle Steel
    A Gift of Grace by Amy Clipston
    Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead

      I've heard a lot of good things about Vampire Academy. Haven't heard anything bad actually.

      I thought that the Vampire Acadamy was pretty good, (not great but good) WAY better than the Marked series, which has horrible grammar and writing (so much so that I figure there was no editor, and couldnt get through half of the first one).

      That's what I've been told. I like Beverly Lewis and Cindy Woodsmall, so I thought I would try Brunstetter

    Sadly, I have not read any of these. I do have The Vampire Academy on my shelves and I hope to get to it soon. Your list looks great. I might check out some of the books.

    I haven't really heard of any of the books on your list except Vampire Academy. I haven't read them but I had gotten tired of my niece reading the Twilight Saga over and over that I bought her the Vampire Academy ones and she really liked them. She Finished all three in two weeks. And just about every book that she has read I have read and liked before she has so I trust her judgement on the books. So I plan to read them in the near future.

    I have not read any of these. When I get books from the library, I always read them in alphabetical order by their titles, so maybe you could try that. =)

    I may be slightly biased, but I'd go with Fireflies In December! ;) If you get to it, let me know what you think!

    Duh I did not even notice until now that you are the author of the books, until this last psot. Terriffic book. I always try and make sure I have all the sequels to books.

    :) They don't seem to let us use our author pages to do stuff on here, so I post through my personal page. It gets confusing. I'm so glad you enjoyed the book!
