I'm reading Blood Knight by Greg Keyes. The first two were really good and this one is turning out to be great as well. I'm into Sci-Fi/Fantasy, ancient mystery and horror. I can really get into military sci-fi. Getting ready to start the Drizzt series by R. A. Salvatore from the beginning again. Got a $100 gift certificate to the bookstore for Christmas and spent it all in 20 min. I'm a book junkie - can't read enough! Anyone else here have to read in order to sleep??

YES!!! I try to go to bed at least 1/2 an hour before hubby to read so I can be asleep before he gets there. He falls asleep the moment his head hits the pillow and snores!!! If I don't get to sleep first, I don't sleep at all!!!

Reading really helps me fall asleep! Sometimes I can read for an hour or more and other times I barely make it 10 minutes before my eyes are crossing. Depends on how tired I am to begin with.

Oh, and YES MGF, I'm glad I checked the book rack at the store!! Probably wouldn't have if it weren't for this thread! Thanks!

I am reading "Frill Kill" by Laura Childs. It is one of a series (cozy mystrey) about a woman that owns a scrapbooking store in New Oleans. Good series. I also like the Hannah Swensen series by Joann Fluke and the B and B series by Mary Da Hiem. I read every day for a couple of hours. My husband had a problem with me reading in bed because of the light so he bought me a little light that hooks ro the book and does not bother him. What a sweetie huh, ha ha.

Hubby bought me Nora Roberts Blood Brothers for a Christmas present... I haven't read a lot of Nora's books, but it certainly is NOT what I would expect! More Stephen King ish!

I am not sure why he buys me books! He does it every year - and this is the first year we have been together that I didn't have the used book store! LOL!

I read several of the Noras that came through my book store... none of them had any demons in them! LOL!

I know that JD Robb is nora as well.... but I don't think I ever read any (I have never had a shortage of books to read since I oened a book store)

Hi Fellow readers,
I am really into mystreys for the last year or so. A few of my favorites are Lisa Scottoline, Kay Hooper, and Tami Hoag. Like you I love Nora Roberts. Oh, one other favorite is Patricia Cornwell. I read when I go to bed , almost always carry a paperback in my purse.

I can tell you that the books by JD Robb all have death in the title, the are set in the future and (everyone of the ones that I have read) have a hot & heavy love scene in there......Lt. Dallas and Roark are HOT!

Well I'm all caught up on the Fern Michaels Sisterhood series and I just finished the 2nd in the 2nd generation series of Sisterhood called Hokus Pokus.
I'm also a Joanne Fluke freak, and I've found Barbara Colley (sp?) She has a Charlotte LaRue mystery series. She owns a housecleaning company in New Orleans, sort of on the same line as Joanne Fluke's mysteries.
I've picked up the Manning sisters, but had started some books from the library so I haven't gotten to it yet.
