I love to read!!!!! A book to me is like a friend who is always there waiting for you with open arms. My favorite genres are memoirs, fiction, romance, suspense thrillers, chick lit, paranormal romance as well. By the way I love my color nook!!!!!

    Happy New Year Raquel,

    What are you reading? I just finished The Stuff that Never Happened by Maddie Dawson and it was very good. I have a Kindle and I like it. I'm able to search so many books and download many for free.

    Merry Christmas to you and yours. My husband and I watched the movie "Sarah's Key" the other night. My husband had not read the book. Of course, movies can't compare to books (all the details won't fit); but the movie did the book justice. My husband thought the movie was really good.

    Hi. I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. I saw Water for Elephants and didn't like it, but the movie is never as good as the book. The flaws were there was no Big Al. They made August the central character. You can't put Reese Winterspoon in a movie and have her not talk. Marlena didn't do much talking in the book. I wouldn't waste your time or money. I'm reading A Taste of Salt right now and it's about a family and dealing with the affects of alcoholism. It's good so far.

    I loved Water for Elephants. Now I want to watch the DVD just so I can visit with the characters again. I like when a finish a book and days later I still can recall portions of the book. There were so many favorites in this book. The saddest was Kinko and Camel getting redlighted.

    Hello, No I haven't gotten a Nook, but I've been considering getting a Kindle because I shop so much on Amazon.com. I know what you mean about holding a book that has been the main reason why I haven't purchased an e-reader as of yet. I have never read anything by V.C. Andrews. I have never cared for her books. I did see the movie Flowers in the Attic and it was good. I am a Twilight Team Edward Fan, however I don't care for the movies. I have seen all of them and I will most likely see Break of Dawn, but I love the books. The movies don't come close to how good the books are.

    Hello Raquel, How have you been? I am finally reading Water for Elephants and I'm on page 78 and I'm finding it so hard to put the book down. I was going to rent the dvd, but movies are always never as good as the book. I saw it in the library yesterday and the few pages I have read are just amazing. I feel like I am right there with the characters in this book. Did you like it?

    Hi Raquel, I look forward to browsing your shelf. I am struggling with a HF, When Christ and His Saints Slept. It has been a slow go in the beginning but is picking up a little now. Also reading a kindle freebie, A Simple Amish Christmas which is a sweet, fast read. I don't care for some sci fi, no paranormal/fantasy or romance, everything else is fair game. Thanks for friending me!
