but I find that when I have so many

school assignments, I have a hard time

focusing on reading for pleasure. I love

everything from Jane Austen to Ken Follett,

J.K. Rowling to Caragh O'Brien. I even love

nonfiction books. But when I'm too busy

to concentrate, I fall back on brain candy

like Janet Evanovich's various series. I'm

always looking for something new, so post

your suggestions for your favorite must reads!

Keepers series. Great stories, easy

read and it takes place in Disney.

Elizabeth loves the stories. Not really

Adult intense books but still good.

the most relaxing things I do.

I have a very abstract approach to

what I read. Nothing is off limits. Mystery,

Science, Humor. Biographies...pretty much

anything. Process Mark Twains Life at the present.

Series

Janet Evanovich (for humor)

James Paterson (for suspense)

Sue Grafton (for Mystery (Ky native)

Arthur Conan Doyle (always makes me think)

:)

series. Any medical/science thriller really

that so many , ahem, of us "older readers" have devoured series such as The Hunger

Games and Twilight, and flocked to the movies, but I sure do love me some YA

Lit. I find it often more edgy, more

adventurous and just plain old more fun than adult novels. One of my all time

favorites? Why thank you for asking! That

would have to be Feed by M.T. Anderson. Try it!

Now that I'm on break though, I'm really excited to reread My Name is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok, one of my all-time favorites
