I'm 36 and I live in Vermont. I've loved books since I can remember being read to as a kid by my mom, she instilled in me the love of books. I am interested in many different book genres, suspense/thrillers/mystery/a little horror and a little romance. I also enjoy non-fiction which includes topics such as religion/spiritual, scientific, and... more »

    Well, that's not good. I read the first couple of pages when I picked it up at the book sale. I'm not sure if I'm going to like it or not. I was a bit confused by the beginning, but I didn't feel good at the time and it may have been a mood thing.

    Tina. I see you're reading The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane. I picked this book up at a sale this summer because it sounded interesting. Let me know if it is worth my time.

    Thanks for the recommendations. That book sounds interesting. I'm adding it to my never-ending wish list.

    My summer is going well. It's not as hot as usual which is alright with me.

    I read a trilogy by Christy Reece. She's a new romantic suspense author. They were all very good books. Also liked A Kiss at Midnight by Eloisa James (historical) and Lover Unleashed by J.R. Ward (paranormal). Have you read anything you'd recommend?

    Hi Tina. Haven't talked to you in a while. I see you're reading Fatal Tide by Iris Johansen. I tried reading it a couple of years ago and couldn't get into it. Was wondering if you liked it. Don't know if it was just my mood or if the book wasn't very good.

    I'd say my reading habits can be termed somewhat cyclical-going days on end just reading novel after novel..and then it stops. Personally, i don't call it reading but watching a movie with the mind. Robert McCammon? I hadn't heard of him till you mentioned him. Looks like my kind of author. Thanks for sharing.

    Wow you're a voracious reader! My reading count for the last months has been nil.

    I can't believe how fast the summer went by. We'll be Christmas shopping soon. LOL Well, Fall is my favorite time of year too. I love the cool air and walking through the leaves.

    Have you read anything good lately? I just finished a book from Kerrelyn Sparks' Love At Stake series. Very amusing. Now I'm starting a suspense book by Tess Gerritsen. What have you been up to?

    Hi Tina, I see you added Lisa Jackson's HOT BLOODED to your shelf. I really enjoyed that book.

    Hey Tina, I'm doin' good. I just got back from vacation and had a great time. I went to Cleveland with a friend. We took a cruise of Lake Erie, went to the Cleveland Zoo & Rainforest, and toured the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame was awesome. Also went to an amusement park for a few days to ride coasters. Lots of fun.

    OK, I'd love to change my lifestyle but I have no self-motivation. How do you do it?

    In the last month I've read J.R. Ward's LOVER MINE and REUNION IN DEATH by J.D. Robb. Both were 5 Stars for me. Also read a cute time travel by Deb Stover called A MOMENT IN TIME. Other than that, my reading choices have been kind of "blah".

    Tate was a light comfortable read and I think I needed that. It was okay for me to set it down and come back to it later. That doesn't mean I didn't like it, but it was just what I needed at the time.

    I just re-started Straight from the Hip too! :) I am very much enjoying the series and am trying to figure out the entire mystique behind Garth's motives...well, I don't want to say too much. We're going on vacation in a little under a month. We'll be doing all sorts of walking! Part of the bargain was that one day we had to go to a UBS since we'd be spending 5 days with rollercoasters! I found a nice little bookstore on the Internet in Port Clinton, OH so I think we'll be going there.

    If you like westerns and historicals, I cannot recommend that you read "Pieces of Sky" enough! It was a wonderful book. There was laughter and tears and a big happy sigh at the end. A keeper for sure.

    Hi Tina, What are you up to lately? Well, I went to Judi's house over the weekend and ended up picking FLIRTING WITH FORTY by Jane Porter. I saw the movie a couple of months ago and didn't really like it. Judi told me the book is much better than the movie, so I figure I'll give it a try. Don't know when I'll get to it though. I just started a historical western trilogy by Maureen McKade. The first book is good so far.

    I read NATURAL BORN CHARMER by Susan Elizabeth Phillips over the weekend and couldn't put it down. Loved the book. Do you read her books?

    Hi Tina, I see you're reading Lady of the West by Linda Howard. I read it sometime last year. What did you think of it? Also, did you finish After the Night? I read that one a long time ago. I remember I had a hard time liking the hero. Thought he was a bit of a jerk. But, it was still an interesting book.

    Hi Tina!! I've been really bad about getting back on my notes here at Shelfari. I've been in a reading slump since the end of February but I think it's finally passed! Did you enjoy the Hobb book? I saw one in the UBS but didn't pick it up because I was unsure if it was in a series and I already had 10 in my bag! :-o I love James Patterson too. I wonder when his next Women's Murder Club book is scheduled to be released?

    I just finished "Tate" by Linda Lael Miller. I think it helped pull me out of my slump. It was light enough that I could sit it down and walk away for a few days and not stress about not getting it read right now. I got Pieces of Sky from our local library and that's what I'm going to read next. It got quite a bit of buzz over on the RT boards so I'm anxious to see how I like it.

    How are things going for you? I hope well and plenty of good books! :-)

    Thanks for your comment on the spring challenge. I'm still looking for books to fit several of them. And I have to stop over at Judi's and see what I can borrow off of her for the first challenge of borrowing from a friend or library. She's like me and has more books than she'll ever read in a lifetime.

    Over the weekend I finished Jeaniene Frost's First Drop of Crimson. It's a spin-off of her other series. Very good. Now I picked up another book in the Dresden Files. I'm catching up on that series and only have one more book in my TBR. I'll be a little lost without reading those books on a regular basis.

    J.R. Ward's new book comes out at the end of the month. I think I'm going to have to pre-order it from somewhere. Most of the book stores in my area have closed.

    What are you reading at the moment? Anything good?

    Hi Tina, I've been busy, busy, busy. Had a couple of days off and I cleaned my carpets. I hate that job, but it really needed done.

    Yes, I'll be happy to take come book out of my TBR pile. I did so well last year at not adding anymore books than I read, so I didn't add to my TBR pile. This year I've added so many already (probably 40). When will I ever have the time to read the book I already own? Of course, it doesn't stop me from buying more. LOL

    I haven't read Lisa Gardner's HIDE yet. Glad you liked it. Give me something to look forward to. I'm just starting a book by Johanna Lindsey. Do you read her? It's one of her Malory series. Should be a quick read.
