I love to read, books are my world. My favorite genres are memoirs I also enjoy fiction, romance and paranormal romance as well.

To me a good book is like a friend who is always there waiting for you with open arms.

I am always looking out for good books so please if you know of any let me know!! more »

    It varies from week to week, but usually I read a couple. This week I've read 2 so far, Charles Higson - Happy Now and David Kessler - Mercy. I'm around 100 pages into Target by Simon Kernick, which will be my third. If I'm on holiday then I can get through 3 or 4 in a week.

    I started keeping a record a few years ago when I got back into reading again.

    What are you reading right now?

    Hi Raquel, I am doing pretty good. How are you doing? Yes I would say that Blood Brothers by Nora Roberts is a paranormal romance. I really enjoyed reading this one. I actually liked the whole series. I am reading Black Hills by Nora Roberts. So far it is a pretty good book. What are you currently reading?

    Hi Raquel,

    I'm great thanks. You?

    Just finished Happy Now by Charles Higson, and just started Mercy by David Kessler.

    I read around 100 books a year, just started my 90th this year, so probably on course for 100.

    How about you?

    I agree with you about New Moon. It wasn't my favorite (in fact, it was my least favorite) because of Edward's absence, but I'm still glad that I read it. Do you really want me to tell you about Bella becoming a vampire? I don't want to spoil it! I'm glad you are enjoying the saga. It was a lot of fun!

    I purchased New Moon about a month ago. With the movie coming out this week I'm going to make it my next read as soon as I finish the current book I'm reading. So Eclipse is already in the works to be a movie?! That's awesome. As soon as I complete New Moon, I'll let you know!

    I'm doing good, how are you? I've been trying to read something a little out of my comfort zone...its really bizarre and not a HEA romance! Oh I know I will go watch New Moon...I must say watching the Trailer...Jacob makes me feel like a Cougar! GRRR

    Hi Raquel-
    I haven't read any recent Robbins. His early books were romance, action, drama---
    A Stone For Danny Fisher is one of the best books I've read, and I'd highly recommend you start there---

    I just finished The Guernsey Literary and Potatoe Peel Society and it was a worthwhile read. I just started Mitch Albom's new book Have a Little Faith.

    I haven't read the Twighlight books--- vampires stuff creeps me out. I'm also on a mission to read books that uplift and enrich me----

    Any other suggestions???
    Happy Thanksgiving!

    Yes Twilight was a great read. My fav character was Edward as well. Do you intend to read New Moon? It's definitely on my list.

    Hi, Raquel!

    I didn't like any of the other books as much as Twilight. And as I've read more in the genre, Twilight has sunk pretty far down my list too. But yeah, New Moon was especially hard for me to get through!!!
