I'm finally getting around to reading "Gone Girl." I'm roughly halfway through, incredibly hooked, and seeing some of my past exs in Nick Dunne's character (which is terrifying).

I'm rereading The Lightning Thief. I owe my love for reading to the Percy Jackson series. It had me hooked right from the beginning and pushed me to read the rest of the books. From there I was hungry to read more and more until I filled my bookshelf double decker and had to get another one, which is now also filled. I just can't get enough of reading and I have Percy Jackson to thank for opening the door to books for me when I was 10. I am 15 now.

I am currently reading a series by Annetta Stansfield. I love her as an author. I love the stories that have a little suspense with romance!

It's my review book, and it has been difficult to get into so far. ):

I just finished "I'll Take New York" by Miranda Dickinson.

Starting "Until You're Mine" by Samantha Hayes tonight, looking forward to a thriller! I've heard you can't put it down so looking forward to that.

Also looking to read "The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared". Looks like fun and lots of trouble so want to read that soon.

Well, at the moment I don't have anything exciting going on, I'm just browsing the Professional Chef - by the Culinary Institution of America and another chef book, one in Hungarian but I'm pretty sure you should be able to find it in other languages. I'ts called Szakácsok Könyve (Book of Chefs), and each chapter focuses on one step\method\type of cooking, each of which is written by different successful chefs. I'll get back here as soon as I get my hands on something more interesting.

I am currently reading Cherry Lane by Rochelle Alers. It's one of her series (Cavanaugh Island). I am really enjoying this book. I thoroughly enjoy romance novels and just exploring how the romance began...was it love at first sight or did they hate each others guts? Either way the story turns out to be a fairy tale. I guess, I have to live through the characters in the books because it seems things just don't happen this way in the real world.

Hi! I have become 'addicted' to H.P. Mallory's 'Dulcie O'Neil Series'. I have to admit that sometimes Dulcie (as the main character) gets on my nerves so bad I would love to hit her over the head and yet, I can't stop reading them! The best part for me is that they come with audio when you get them from the Amazon Kindle store so I can listen to them in the car, at work, and while I'm running.
The books are full of witchcraft and fantasy creatures and I'm a fan of neither. And yet, I'm on Book 5. Mallory does an amazing job of making the characters seem every-day and the events ordinary so the books do not have a sci-fi feel. Very light, fun reads!
