I want to read Cell too. That's the one I was going to suggest because I want to really read something I haven't read yet lol

I'll recommend a few more when I get home.

And as far as Amazon, they have changed their policies and increased rates for publishers so some have dropped Amazon or reduced what they send to them. I know this because it happened to us. :( lol

I'm kind of a fan of The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon and Bag of Bones

I'll also recommend ebooks.com for those who don't mind reading on their computer, and like only paying 6 bucks lol

I haven't read anything Stephen King in AGES!!!  And, I have been having trouble finding anything worth reading lately.  The last 3 books I have started I have put down after 50 pages because I couldn't get into it!!!  I might have to participate this month!  I have really wanted to read some Jodi too and I am bummed that I didn't get on the bandwagon last month!

Firestarter?  I haven't read the book, but I've always loved the movie.

Firestarter?  I haven't read the book, but I've always loved the movie.

Random...but when I was a little girl everyone said I looked like Drew Barrymore in FireStarter...

Maybe participating in the book club will get me back into reading...I have been going in spurts lately where I will read and read, then I can't find any thing to read so I will stop for a couple of months.  I do love reading, though :)  Can't wait to see what you guys pick and see if it is something I may be interested in reading it. 

In the interim, anyone have any books they want to recommend?

Digital Fortress by Dan Brown was good too.

Thanks for the tip...I went online and found the summaries, 19 minutes REALLY peaked my interest...I work for a nonprofit that does violence prevention programs in schools so I have done tons of research on school shootings and the factors that contribute to kids doing it.  I am going to get this one this week!

I'll have to check out that one sometime too; I hadn't read anything by Jodi Picoult before this month, but I like her style, so I'll definitely read more.

I am loving her. There are some books I could have done without but for the most part, I find her refreshing and unique. I'd stay away from the Tenth Circle. That one was pretty stupid lol
