I just started reading Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino. Pretty great so far, a lot of incredible descriptions of cities..

I just finished Love Walked In. Any hopeless romantics out there would love it. I didn't so much lol I'm excited to start reading The Hour I first Believe by Wally Lamb! YAY!

I'm a hopeless romantic so I'd probably like it :)

I'm almost finished The Host now and got to say, really loving it!  In the beginning I was ready to give up because it took some getting into, but now, wow!  In fact, I'd love to see it made into a movie as I quite like sci-fi movies :)

I almost picked up Love Walked In when I was stuck in the airport the other day. I guess I'll have to read it for sure.

Not too long ago, I finished reading "Taking Tuscany" by Renee Riva.

It was pretty good. It was about a teenage girl who's family moved to Italy from the United States.

Mare!! I just started reading A Thousand Splendid Suns! I'm already halfway through it and it's incredible.. I got drown in it from the first sentence, very real characters, very real situations.. makes my heart ache. I saw the book's thread under the book club but I'm deadly afraid to check it in case of any spoilers LOL.

Amazing book, definitely!

LOL and I recently finished "Cindy Ella" and am now on "Geek Charming" by Robin Palmer. Both very cute.

Man, I am a hopeless dork.

I am reading the Hours I first believed by Wally Lamb and it's INCREDIBLE. I heart him and want to have twelve of his babies.

^ LMAO, i'm afraid if that number will go up if you read more of his books?

I have around 100 pages left for A Thousand Splendid Suns then I can finally check that thread and share my opinion! :)

I finished reading Dead Before Dark by Charlaine Harris yesterday (read it in a day, it was hard to put down) and now I'm reading the second book, Living Dead in Dallas.

I finished The Hour I First believed yesterday and all I have to say is I should have waited to read it because now everything else I have to read just doesn't seem awesome enough lol

Nothing against Happry Potter but I just started the second book and I can't focus on it because all I keep thinking about is how awesome the Wally Lamb book was lol *sigh*

1) Is anybody reading anything else other than fan fiction? I am reading both, fanfiction and various books hahha.
Read the first three books in the House of Night Series by PC and Kristin Cast. Book One- Marked, Book Two- Betrayed & Book Three- Chosen, there are more in the series am trying to hunt them down. Read Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead. Right now reading Eye of The World by Robert Jordan.

2) If so, what authors or books could you reccomend? Anything by Nicholas Sparks, Janet Evanovich, The House of Night Series & Vampire Academy Books, both are vampire series. Rachel Gibson books.

and 3) What is it that gives you an idea for fan fiction? Anything can really, a line from a song, a movie, a book, something in real life. Something from a conversation. My Dreams, it all kindda depends.

I'm currently reading Slumdog Millionaire.  I loved the film, so thought I'd give the book a go.  I'm only about 20 pages in so far as I only started reading last night, but so far, so good!

I didn't even realize that movie was based after a book!

I've done that before.  I read Princess Diaries, (some of) The Lord of the Rings, and A Walk To Remember after seeing the movies.  It's always interesting to see how the film and book compare to each other, and what has been changed.

I didn't realise until I saw the book a few days ago whilst shopping.  It is interesting to see how the books differ from films, usually the books are better :)
