Good books to read
I finally got back to the library again since we’ve moved. I am loving having a huge supply of reading material again.
I have read all the books we own – some even twice – so to have a whole library at my disposal is fantastic. Although I now have a little dilemma. I have a few authors that I really enjoy like Kathy Reichs, Dan Brown, James Patterson, Patricia Cornwell etc but I am fast approaching the end of the supply as far as these authors go. I also have this other neat little trick. I walk up and down and see which covers attract me. This does work really well but is rather time consuming.
I need some advice on good books or authors. I like pretty much any type of book so there really is no limitations. My only requirement is that it needs to be good. I don’t want to be on page 214 before the action starts. So if anyone out there can recommend anything I would really appreciate it.
We recently got the Twilight Series books. I had heard from friends that they were awesome and many had
said they could not put the books down so I already had very high expectations. I am surprised and excited to say that the books far exceeded my expectations. Willie managed to read all 4 the books in just a few days and sadly I am still a ways behind him. I am on the last book – Breaking Dawn – and the only reason why I have not finished is because of time constraints. Once I start reading there is just no way that I can put it down. I manage to sneak a page in here and there but like I said once I start I struggle to put it down.
These books are just fantastic! There is nothing predictable about them. There are no cliches. In fact once you have read Twilight you will – like me – often stop to wonder if this can not possibly be real. The whole story has made me stop and wonder so many times if maybe these things can – and do – happen all around us. It all seems so possible. The magic seems to leap off the pages.
I will not give anything of the story away but I will say that I am willing to bet on the fact that you will not be disappointed with the read. Not only is Stephenie Meyer an amazing author and story teller but she seems to capture every emotion and silent word perfectly. I could close my eyes and see the story unfold in my mind.
I am super excited about seeing all the movies. Do yourself a favour. Get the books. Even people who don’t like to read as much as I do will love them.
The soundtrack to the movie is just as amazing. Visit Stephenie Meyer’s site for some interesting info about the books, the movie, the characters and even how the story was born.
Let me go and read a few more pages before I fall asleep…….
