Salutations fellow Shelfarians =)

My interests lie within vast and varied subjects, and is mostly dependent upon the mood that I am in. I also like talking to people about the books that I have read...and wish to read. Books are one of my many passions in life...when I get the chance to kick back and relax!

    I haven't been on a lot. I have been traveling and taking care of one of the grandsons. I hope you enjoy the book. It really touched my heart.

    Thanks! "The Host" was great, I could read it over and over and find something new each time! A few series that I enjoyed are the Vampire Academy, Mortal Instruments, Night Huntress and the Darkest Powers series'. For stand alone books "Unwind" by Neil Shusterman and "Shutter Island" by Dennis Lehane are interesting reads :D Both of those kept the conspiracy theorist inside me going like crazy lol. Your turn Mango!! :D

    Sounds awesome. I'll have to check her out. :) I actually read The Yellow Wallpaper in college too -- a psychopathology class I think.
    It's soooo cold in Michigan. I just came back from northern MI today where it snowed! T_T

    My taste in books kind of go through phases. Right now I'm really into fantasy (maybe some science fiction) with some adventure and a touch of romance. I like books with plots that surprise me and settings that are rich in detail. :) Sounds specific but there's actually lots out there that fit the bill. I've never Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni. What kinds of stuff does he/she(?) write? Right now I'm reading Jacqueline Carey and Kristin Cashore.
    I'm not a big fan of nonfiction, but memoirs are very good. I studied a lot of psychology so I'm really intrigued by stuff like Girl, Interrupted; Waste; the Yellow Wallpaper, etc.
