Welcome to Gaia! ::

I guess i will go first.

I am a huge fan of Jane Austen. i love her works and even though i have read everything i could read them all over again. i make a point of reading pride and prejudice every summer just because i love it so much. i have also read everything by Gregory Maguire, he is the author of Wicked and Son of a witch but he also has three other books, Mirror Mirror, Confessions of an Ugly step sister and Lost. i didn't like lost at all. it really confused me for the most part but all the other books were brilliant and i waiting to see what else he comes out with. Going along with major trends i have read all the harry potters and loved them and all the narnia books and loved them. i generally like to read movie books before i see the movie.

Some other great books that are worth looking into, in my oppinion, are:

Lamb: the gosphel according to Biff, Jesus's child hood pal - by Charles Moore.

Good Omens - by Terry Patchett and Neil Gaiman

The Darcy Gentleman Series - by Pamela Aidan

Phantom - by Susan Kay.

Zorro - by Isabel Allende

I've read all Nicholas Sparks' books, I think the man should be sainted. He is probably my most favorite author, I absolutely adore his work. I've also read almost all of Lurlene McDaniel's, except for the newest one, and a few of the older ones. S.E. Hinton's books are also amazing, I carry a copy of The Outsiders in my purse, and have become a small little expert on the book, in fact, I frequent a message board where the admins are actual friends of Ms. Hinton's.

I've gotten into Jodi Picoult's work as of late. I read My Sisters Keeper last summer, and a few weeks ago I read Nineteen Minutes and Plain Truth. I have Mercy and The Pact here that I need to finish.

I'm a huge reader. I have two more Picoult books to read that I have here at the house, and my co-workers are trying to get me into the Twilight Series, lots of people say it's very good. I'm excited about reading the series.

Anyone else here read Twilight?

I also like reading books based on troubled teens; teen pregnancy, drugs, alcohol, cutting, and so on. I guess because I've dealt with all that before, whether I went through it or someone close to me. It's always kind in interesting to read a book and "compare".

i hate to say it but i am growing tired of the anne books that i am reading and just want to pick up pride and prejudice and read it cover to cover again in one sitting... or write something myself. i'm a big writer though some of my stuff is really lame. i just feel like i need to do it.

its a really good book once you get into it.

i love to kill a mocking bird too. it was such a great book and it was one of the first books i cried while reading.

i balled so hard at the end of Phantom by Susan Kay that i had to stop reading wait till i stopped crying and then pick up again and read what i couldn't understand through my tears! heehee.
