Well I guess you always have to start at number one so here it goes,

1. Maine by J. Courtney Sullivan.

So far I think this book is slow and confusing, I am hoping it will get better as I go along. Well I finished the book last night. Personally I think they could have gotten rid of the first half of the book. The only part that really got me to feel anything for the people in the story was at the end.

One book down already alright. Too bad it wasn't a good one. Hopefully the next one makes up for it.

2. Timekeeper's Son by Mike E. Miller

How would you feel if you went to bed one night at age 35 next to your wife and the next morning you are awaken by your mother and you are 9 years old again. This is the issue Andy faces in this tale. He wakes in his old childhood bedroom with his loving parents, but he still has the memories of everything that happened the first time around he lived this life. In less then a week his father will die in an accident and his life will spiral out of control. Wait he can fix it! He doesn't have to lose his father and his mother will not become a drunk and ignore him, he can save them all, or can he? If he does that will his life be the same life he had? Will he still make it back to the loving arms of his wife? What you you do?

From the first page of this story I was sucked into it. Needless to say it took me a full 24 hours to read this story.

3. The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks.

It is sort of like most of his books, they fall in love, life gets in the way and pushes them apart, then find there way back to each. I say it was an ok book, pretty much what you think of Nicholas Sparks.

4. Otherland volume 1 by Tad Williams

I have to say once I got past the first part I really got in to this book, I was so interested in the virtural world was construted and what was going wrong with it. Why is a game hurting the children. Of course there are many other volumes I have to get through to find out why the kids are being hurt but it was a good start. This was a very long book and seem to take me twice as long as other books have. I think it had for me alot to do with the beginning I felt like I had to go back and forth trying to figure out what I was missing since it didn't seem to be making alot of sense to me.

5. Marked by P.C Cast and Kirsten Cast.

First off let me say that I have read the second book before I even read the first book and I have to say the second book was better. I picked up this book mainly to see if there was anything I missed by reading the second book first. I didn't. I have had read others reviews of the book stating that they can't see teens talking like this all but poopie and boobies, they are that way talking. Ok So this book is about a girl that is Marked to become a vampyre and once marked she needs to go to the vampyre school called the school of night. When you are marked you have no choice to go to this school and hopefully live through the change or not go to this school and die anyways since you must be around an adult vampyre to live. During this process she is different then all of the other fledgings. She doesn't want to be different but soon grows in to the life the goddess has dealt to her. It isn't a bad read, but second book is way better.

ok so I am a little behind updating my list, which is one of the fears I had to begin with. I read alot but not good at keeping track of things.

6.The Rope by Nevada Barr

7.Fallen Masters by John Edward

8. Punctured by Rex Kusler

9.Guilty Wives by James Patterson and David Ellis
This is a story I have been waiting to read for awhile, I just have to tell you when you get to the end of this book you are like what the H**L. It was that good.

10. Night Shades by Andrea Cremer

11. Wolfbane by Andrea Cremer

12. The Passage by Justin Cronin

13. Bloodrose by Andrea Cremer

14. Bloom finding beauty in the unexpected by Kelle Hampton

first let me tell you I don't not normally read autobio type stories and to me this is what this was. This is the story of Kelle and the birth of her second baby that was long awaited. When her baby was born they were hit with a curve ball they never even accepted. Their baby girl was born with Down Syndrome . She goes over alot of how she fells and reacts she is so truth full on how she felt. I would recommend this book to everyone. I finished in a day drying my eyes as I went along.

I remember reading a Nevada Barr book about her series character doing a bunch of cave exploration. That one was pretty good. How was yours?

This is the first one I read that was like this but it was pretty good. Anna shows up to do voltneer work at a national park. In the process she just disappears, most think that she went back to new york because the wilderness is too much for her. Really she is stuck in a hole that some has pushed her into, stripping her and craving Whore into her leg. She gets out and from that time someone keeps trying to kill her. There are a couple of people you think might have been but of course it twist and turns you so you have to think and rethink who it was. All and all it was pretty good book.

43. The Road by Cormac McCarthy. (Can I just tell you I hated this book. I thought the writting was just horrible. This was a story of a man and his boy that are traveling the road after something happened. Never really comes out what happened which sort of pisses me off went through the whole story and still don't even understand what happened.)

44. Fantasy Lover by Sherrily Kenyon. ( What would you do if your best friend brought you a book with a gorgeous naked man it and was able to bring him to life. While at least for a month you could make him your sex slave. What if you where a woman that was so hurt that she couldn't use this gift for the purpose he was meant to be. Then you find out that you could free him from being a Slave by just resisting him and his sexual nature, but in doing so he would go crazy. This was an really good book.)

47. Fifty Shades Freed III by E.L James

48. Don't Go by Lisa Scottoline. ( A Dr is deployed, while he is there he finds out his wife dies. He goes home to bury her and try to find out what has happened. There are so many twist and turns in the story, I really didn't know what happened until the very end the story.)

49. NOS4A2 by Joe Hill. This is a story weaved in supernatural tones. There is a man named Charlie and he kidnaps kids and takes them to a place called christmasland, these kids never come back. Victoria is a girl that also has the ability to make things happen usally she does it for the good things. Her mother loses her braclet she hops on her bike rides through the short way and goes back to the place it was left behind. What happens when she rides to the man that is kidnapping children will she be able to help them or will she be lost like they are. I am still working on this book so I will have to update this one at a later date.
