For the bookworm lovers!!
Any books you think are good enough to read? Share them here, on this board. I'm always looking for new or old titles, if they get my attention, I check them out(when I can)! I'm sure we got some bookworms in here...

Most of you know that I work at the Library and reading is a passion for me, lol... I love to read most genre books but love more to read Y.A.(Young Adults). Vampires, paranormal, romance, steampunk, sci fi, fantasy and so on....

My favorite adult book writers are;
1.Jane Austen
2.Bram Stoker(Dracula)
3.Anne Rice
4.Christine Feehan
and many more but these are my tops

Then favorite Y.A. book writers are;
1.Cassandra Clare
2.Lauren Kate
3.Mary E. Pearson
4.Robin LaFevers
and it keep going....

Please start your own topic on this board, that way we can discuss each book in it's own thread. Let's keep this one for any questions or comments about our wonderful world on literature, tsk, tsk, tsk...

Has anyone read The Dark Tower by Stephen King? If I'm not mistaking, I think a movie is coming out? I never read the books.

Yes, all seven volumes.  A lot of it felt like a drug dream.  It does have the feel of "Child Roland to the Dark Tower Came" somehow.

And because it's Stephen King, it has lots of odd horrible occurrences.

They were written over many years.  Perhaps read the first and see if it's to your taste.

I lucked out.  They had the complete set plus the new one in a bundle at Amazon and the Grandsons Girlfriend asked if I could get the new one for him and she would see if she could find the rest.

So I got the whole set and wrapped it up and had her fill out the tag and it said to Travis from Mindy and Santa.  He always knows who Santa is  :tearlaugh:
