I ordered a couple of books from Doubleday book club that I'm about to start reading. The one I'm reading first is "When Organizing isn't enough, how to shed your stuff" I'm hoping it will help me get motivated to get rid of some of the stuff around here.

Mmmmm.....Odd Thomas is first......then Forever Odd, Brother Odd, Odd Hours and In Odd We Trust is next, I think. I thought Odd Hours JUST came out but according to the Dean Koontz website, In Odd We Trust is out now....Gotta get it put on reserve at the library tomorrow.

Check this out: http://oddthomas.deankoontz.com/

AND, no offense to anyone, but he needs to get off this freaking Odd Thomas kick and FINISH THE FRANKENSTEIN TRILOGY ALREADY!

I agree. And some of his stuf is REALLY out there, but some makes me think. I re-read The Taking week before last. I LOVE that book. It spoke to me, for lack of a better term.

I'm on page 355 and there's 732 pages. It's the one about the author who's wife dies in a parking lot and they found out that she was pregant but he was sterile. He meets a woman Maddie Devore and her little girl who was alone on the highway. I have no idea what's going on in it yet because there are so many sub plots but I'm enjoying it so far.

Hmmm, I thought I had read it, but it isnt ringing any bells.

I have read all of his books EXCEPT the DarkTower series, and I am not sure what is holding m back. Weird. Lisey's Story irritated me for some reason.

I finished Kisscut last night and am starting Miss Julia Speaks Her Mind today. My sister had it in a Reader's Digest Condensed book and talked about how good it was, but how some things werent fully explained. I have the full version and hope to at least be able to explain things to her.

Yes, I've read all of his books.....just wish they were a little longer. I hate it when they end because I get so involved in the story.

Water for Elephants is okay. . . I am almost done and can't really forsee where the end is going. . .Kinda slow & uneventful. . . Perhaps it will pick up!

What is this book about? I picked up a book by this title yesterday at Barnes and Noble and it is kind of a sci-fi book. Is this the same one? If someone reads a book that many times...it's got to be good. lol

I have Odd Hours sitting here. I haven't started it yet. I never finished Brother Odd. I got to a certain part and it just got really stupid for me. Do I have to finish Brother to move on to Hours? If I do I may never read it.

I just finished Sail by James Patterson. It was pretty good. Quick read.

What did you think of Black Noir?

Sorry, I forgot about this thread until it was on the first page again yesterday so I book marked it. :rainbow

I loved the book. I always enjoy Laurell's books, in both of her series. They are hard to put down. I thought this was a great addition to the series and can't wait for the next one to come out.
