Books I Think Everyone Should Read (one added)

It’s been a long couple of weeks for me and I’ve done pretty much nothing but read, read, and read.  I’ve read a lot of books in the last two weeks and I’m going to share them with you.

Lets start with the obvious - LOST GIRLS - by Robert Doherty (aka Bob Mayer) - By far, this is the best book I’ve read all summer.  I have nothing negative to say about it.  It totally blew me away.  I have read almost all of his books.  I’m not kidding.  The first book of Bob’s I ever read I think was Dragon Sim 13.  I was pregnant and on bed rest and a freind brought me the book.  I loved it.  I have the entire Area 51 Series and the Atlantis Series, along with all the Dave Riley books (Drangon Sim) except for one.  I can tell you that CUT-OUT is an excellent read too.  Another one of my favorite books is PSYCHIC WARRIOR.  Excellent read.

Okay, since I bought AGNES AND THE HITMAN by Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer yesterday, and read it in one sitting I can now feel wonderful about recommending this book to the world.  It’s very fun read.  The characters are excellent.  The story line is interesting, and some the the twists and turns, kind of shocking.  It truly is disfucntion at it’s best.  Loved it.

Another book I read this summer that I absolutely loved is KILLER WEEKEND by Ridley Pearson.  Excellent book.  A must read.

STEALING THE DRAGON - by Tim Maleeny.  I mentioned this before, but since I blogged on my own blog today about Tim, I’m mentioning it again.  Go to www.jen-t.blogspot.com to see my interview with Tim.  What a great writer.  Here is his website if you want more information.  www.timmaleeny.com

ISABELLA MOON - by Laura Benedict.  Now this book won’t be available until September 25th, but since I got an ARC I read it and I can tell you that it is wonderful.  Really, when it comes out, buy it.  You won’t be disappointed.  This is also my friend with the great (but a bit scary) book trailer.  www.laurabenedict.com

THE BOOK OF FATE - by Brad Meltzer.  This is not for the weak at heart.  I loved this book, but I will it’s not for everyone.  It’s a bit, well, let’s just say if you think I’m out there…

For my birthday a friend graced me with the entire series of DUNE by Frank Herbert.  I read the first one.  DUNE.  I loved it.  I plan on reading the rest of them soon.

DOUBLE TAKE - by Catherine Coulter.

I’LL BE WATCHING YOU - by Andera Kane.

EVERY MOVE SHE MAKES - by Robin Burcell

Okay, those are the fiction books I’ve read lately.  I’ve also been reading non-fiction.  Just for fun I’ll give you the titles, but something tells me I’m the only one interested in these books.

MURDER MOST RARE - the Female Serial killer - by - Michael D. Kelleher and CL Kelleher

THE SEARCH FOR THE “MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE” By - John Marks

CONSPIRACIES AND SECRET SOCIETIES by Brad and Sherry Steiger.

THE 2548 BEST THINGS ANYBODY EVER SAID by - Robert Bryne
