I'm with ya thatgirl and bigeyes. David Sadaris is soooooo funny! I have all of his books on my ipod and listen to them over and over. It's great cause he reads them! Funny story: I was painting the fence in one of the cow lots at our farm while listening to one of his books. It was the lot with the calfs in it and they were quite scared of me. I laughed so loud one time that all the calf tried to run thru the fence Lucky it was a new fence!

I read most everything except sci-fi (gives me heebie jeebies) and don't care much for romance anymore. In my to read stack, are Bret Hartes Gold Rush, Ken Follets The pillars of the Earth, Pioneer Women, Janet Evanovich (hysterical) Plum Lucky. I really like period pieces and history. The 1491 and The Indifferent Stars Above from CZs list piqued my interest!

I want a Kindle...should stop buying e-cigs for a while!

I am reading Jane Evanovich now. She is funny. Good, light reading. I go back a forth. I will spend a while reading non-fiction and then I need a break and read fiction. Then I hit a time when I need to just do some fun light reading and she works well for this. So does Charlaine Harris and Christopher Moore.

I loved the Sassy Tree and The Book Thief.

When I was reading non-fiction I really, really enjoyed Lone Survivor. If anything could make you believe in miracle this book can.

I like true crime and mysteries. My favorite authors are Ann Rule and Tammi Hoag.

And Nziese - I like your signature. My husband is in the military.

Yup, thats what I do. My biggest problem is that once I start a book I can't put it down. sigh

Welcome Jennee, Please have a cupa, put your feet up and enjoy.
I am the daughter of an A.F. Sgt. and the wife of one (ret). Military families stick by each other. We try to do the same here..post, start a topic or just read..welcome to ECF.

I like to rotate topics as well. It's like e-liquid flavors, I get tired of one and move on for a while. LOL
I like the true crime shows on T.V.

[TheWrathOfSanity]

I read the same authors! Though Jeaniene Frost is new...I'll have to check her out. Kim Harrisons' new book came out today (once dead twice shy) but it's a young adult book...not sure about it for me, though I did enjoy Twilight series.
Laurell K. Hamilton has a new book out tomorrow

Shimmy I think I love you
I'm wanting to check out the YA book of Harris.
And you bet I got the new books that came out this week!
Anita and Betsy in the same day, it's like a holiday!

[Jennee26]

Ha Ha. Thanks Mary Kay. Yes, we do stick together. I like to think of reading as e-liquid flavors also. You get bored of one type, switch to another. The more different types you read, the more educated you become and figure out what your favorite is.

Those of you who like Dave Sadaris might like a new book by Wade Rouse, "At Least in the City Someone Would Hear Me Scream". I got it on my kindle Sunday morning (6/14) and finished it Monday...I found it hysterical.

[medic23]

Going to look into that jooster, thanks

In fact..I've been known to read cereal boxes when all else fails.

Ohhhhhhhh... me too when we moved house a while back [down sizing] my daughter had a count up... over 3000... Yep I know... enough to open a small library. In fact, my dream home would be somewhere big enough to house my own library.
