Hail to the nerds! Welcome, Carol, you'll love it here. I'm new too, and already addicted!!
Welcome Carol, we are all bookies here so you'll fit right in. My daughter got me into Twilight, too, so I know what you mean ;) You'll also be reading A Great and Terrible Beauty if you hang around here long enough, due to a certain one of our membersGEMMA GEMMA GEMMA
:)
(I liked that one BTW - AGATB)
Thanks for making me feel welcome. Laura, A GREAT AND TERRIBLE BEAUTY what is that one about?
It is YA fantasy - tell ya what, click on the link I posted to it above (the brown letters) and you'll go to a description of it. Let me (or GEmma) know if you need more info after that. Carpal tunnel, I should be resting my arms instead of even being here :(
Ummmm, maybe, definitely not in my genre of reads for me. I am extending myself to read these love stories of Blue Blood and Twilight.Honestly, I would much rather get lost in the detailed description of a US Submarine, that is being targeted by an unknown assailant on the surface. Or give me a chase through Ancient Roman aqueducts that are now hidden unground cashes of lost treasure and the hero must save the world by preventing the unknown toxin from leaking into the water supply. Yes we forget that even the Romans practiced bio war.
So I started a new book at lunch today THE MOVIES OF MY LIFE, by Alberto Fuguet. Hooked and have read five pages. How different ot look at our lives throught the movies we have seen.

I see you are already making friends :)
Welcome Carol...I have to say, definitely give "Twilight" a chance... it's most definitely not my genre either, but I got sucked in on the first page and never looked back. I read the first three in about a month (due more to the fact that every time I went to get the 3rd book it was sold out.) and now I'm waiting till next paycheck to go pick up the 4th.
Welcome Carol, I never figured out chemistry. It was one of the scariest ones for me. I hope you get good recommendations here. Have a great time !
Welcome Carol. You can find a good book here all the time. Through this group I have been introduced to more and more new authors and genres than I ever imagined.
Thank you all. Actually went home and finished a Cussler novel last night, "The Chase" Enjoyed it, even if you can guess the ending.
Carol what is the chase about? Even though you can always predict it will end well, i love Cussler books!
Set in early 1900's, a bank robber, more like mass murderer is on the hunt for more money. Isaac Bell, a detective, is hired to hunt him down and stop the rash of robberies. A little different for Cussler, the whole book is in the past, not just the flashbacks to set up the story line. I enjoyed it. As with most Cussler novels a roller coaster ride, this one is just a ride on a train instead.
I love Cussler too. Dirk Pitt is one of my fav characters.
Hi Carol! Hope you like it here!
Yes Clive is good. I find he is my escape author. Deep enough to turn my brain off but not so deep that serious concentration is required. and Jeane you are welcome.
My name is Carol and I am glad I found this site. I am a high school teacher who loves to read good books. As a chemistry teacher sometimes we get called nerds, but my passion is a good historical novel or anything that could be called "Clancy-like."
Just finished the first of the Blue Bloods, because a student told me I had to read it, and they are making me read the Twilight series too.
We will see, what the heck, a book is a book, and you can get lucky and find a good one sometimes.
