Turn Coat, By Jim Brutcher.

Excellent book! Now I have to wait until April for the next one! I really hate that.

I consumed this book when it came out and have been in Dresden withdrawal ever since. I feel your pain! :)

Thank you for the comment Michael! Yes...April could not come sooner!

I already have the book on pre-order from Amazon.

Now if I can find a way to get an ARC....:)

Same here...and ARC would be a dream come true!

I liked Dresden on Tv - is this the same Dresden? Didn't know the show was based on books! Thanks! What's an ARC?

Oh yess! The show was based on the books. Currently there are 11 out now with the 12th one on the way! If you like the show then you will love the books!

ARC = Advance Readers Copy...somthing I wish I had for book 12 now. :-(

All of the books except book 11 are in paperback right now so if your looking for a great series to read this is definately a great one!

Thanks so much - I will check them out! I get impatient waiting for the next book in the series too - I just finished the lastest Dune book and I want more.

Janice,

If you're looking into the series, I recommend it. That said, the series is different in a lot of ways from the book. And I would highly recommend watching your TV listings or digging around on-line for the extended cut of "Storm Front." It's not in the box set for season one and it's not out on DVD that I'm aware of. It's two hours (well, with commercials) and it's a lot more faithful to the book than the one-hour version we eventually got. And it's really good....

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

A great read. It was a little frustrating at first ill admit but it ended out very well and overall I enjoyed it.

Mr. Darcy's Decision by Juliette Shapiro

Any fan of the book Pride and Prejudice would be curious to know what could happen after the happily ever after. This book provided an interesting angle to that.

4.
Gregor the Overlander
By Suzanne Collins

Excellent!

5.
Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane
By Suzanne Collins.

This one was excellent as well. Really kept me at the edge of my seat!

6.
Gregor and the Curse of the Warmbloods
By Suzanne Collins.

7.
Gregor and the Marks of Secret
By Suzanne Collins

Very good. She is a great author.

8.
Gregor and the Code of Claw
By Suzanne Collins

A very good end to a great series. I enjoyed it very much.

9.
Forever Odd, Dean Koontz

A good book but ti took me awhile to finish. Not what I was expecting from a measly 300+ pages.

10.

Took me a long time to get through part one. Part two and three were a fast read though. I am behind on my reading now though and I need to catch up!

11.
The Princess Bride

Loved the book! :-)

12.
Five Quarters of the Orange

A good book! I am way behind though! I hate it when work gets in the way of my reading time! grrrr!

13.

Dead in the Family

Was excited to read it but it was kind of a let down. I was expecting more. Looks like I will have t wait a year again. Book publishers really do suck.

14.

Very good read!

15.
The Necromancer
By Michael Scott

Another great read!
