The...My guilty pleasure is definitely Nora Roberts. They don't make you think real hard, but she has a lot of good page turners. Some of them are pure life/romance... some have a thrill/fear factor mixed in. I can't get myself to watch scary movies anymore... but I love freaking myself out with a thrilling book. I also LOVE Karen Kingsbury. She is a Christian author that writes about everything from love - to parenting - to friendships - to sickness - to forgiveness - to you name it. If you do try her out, start with the Baxter Series. As a mom, I love reading her Christian books... as it helps me prepare to raise my kids into and through the teenage years. I also finished the whole Hunger Games series... the first book was my favorite, but I wasn't sorry that I read the second and the third. :) Happy reading! (And if you do read Fifty Shades of Grey, please let me know. I have a constant battle going in my head on whether or not I should read that, as well!)Nicole Ubbenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03439912076866960637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5155071443848890518.post-9358008250965860322012-05-17T22:26:43.071-05:002012-05-17T22:26:43.071-05:00I forgot about Libba and David (we're on a fir...I forgot about Libba and David (we're on a first name basis because of you, of course :)) I'm adding them to my list now! <br /><br />Thanks for your goodreads profile - if anything, a great way to keep up with you! <br /><br />Happy Summer, Dan!Ashley Jorgensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10639586299014951193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5155071443848890518.post-11247026881633716082012-05-17T22:17:36.886-05:002012-05-17T22:17:36.886-05:00You've already got some great ideas; I definit...You've already got some great ideas; I definitely recommend The Help! <br /><br />Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is another I really enjoyed, though the movie wasn't as satisfying as I'd hoped. <br /><br />I HIGHLY recommend Beauty Queens, by Libba Bray. It's a fantastic book, and edited by David! :) <br />Speaking of David (Levithan), his stuff is great, too. <br /><br />I could go on and on, but if you're ever lacking in ideas, I do a pretty good job keeping up my GoodReads profile with both books I've read and ones I want to read: http://www.goodreads.com/danlang <br /><br />Eager to hear your reviews of everything you DO end up reading!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317814910402104997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5155071443848890518.post-3945612700094276462012-05-17T22:12:13.189-05:002012-05-17T22:12:13.189-05:00I've heard the same thing about Mockingjay.

And I really liked it. The one I had problems with was the third book, Mockingjay. If you've read the first you should definitely read the whole set. :)Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17308284863324351807noreply@blogger.com
