But this one is for you to TALK about the books you've read with People. Share lines from books, What the book did to/for you, and so much more. This will be like a review page. Ya dig?? Come on guys, BRING it ON!!!! Seeing that we have so many people who claimed that their love for novels had gotten them into alot, I espect this thread to be ehmmm, U know waaaaah mean!! |

Okay, so being that i started this thread, I've decided to start so that y'all will get what i mean. "Another woman" by Eric Jerome Dickey. Now tell me, is Eric awesome or what? I just got into his world by reading "another woman". I couldn't wait after reading that book to get "Drive me crazy" By him. Another woman was good, meaningful and damn it's all that and some more!! Everyone should read it, Guys included!! See ehn, im not exergerating. That book is awesome. Now lets talk about ZANE. That woman is va-va-va Voom the boom! I read "shame on it all" by her, and now, i can't stop saying "shame on it all". lol Maybe i'll discuss more about this when i find someone who's read the book. I can't talk about it, if no one's read it. Y'all should read it. For real tho!! Mary B morrison is good too, I'm reading "he's justa friend by her", and apparently i can't wait to finish it, I can't WAIT, because i want to see the end. The book is all that and a bag of chips! I also want to finish reading it, because I just got NERVOUS by ZANE! I've heard a lot about that book. I mean, , my friends can't STOP TALKING ABT IT! It'd better be good. I trust Zane tho, after reading Shame on it all, I espect "nervous" to be awesome. So guys? Anyone know these people im talking about? read their books etc? Let's discuss people!!!! |

Who has read the book titled - The Basket of Flower? I read the book so long time ago and i think it was written so long time ago too. I can't remember most of the story line now but i could remember that when read it, i came to a point when i started shedding tears. Please let me know if you've read this book. I can't even remember the author. |

I'm not a novel freak i just read in my sleep. there is notin wrong with that. Tell me why? ----->Stella Cameron Almost two years ago, Carolee Burns was an international star playing jazz on a piano as few have ever done. The divorce from her painter-husband Kip would have been painful by itself. However, Kip used Carolee's touring while he stayed home with their child to gain custody of Faith. Kip never bothered to explain that it was Carolee's successes that allowed him studios in their home and that the nanny spent time with Faith not him. Devastated and unable to play, Carolee rarely ventures in public anymore except for occasionally performing at a small club in the Seattle suburbs. Former pro football player Max Wolfe watches Carolee when she performs and sees in her face and her playing the pain of someone terribly hurt. He wants to help her overcome her anguish, but even as they fall in love, Carolee cannot afford anything to interfere with her goal: regaining custody of Faith. Kip kidnaped faith because he's been stealing money from the Trust fund Carolee had for her daughter. Newayz Kip was arrested and carolee got custody and she lived happily ever after with Max. i've read Shame on it all,nervous, addicted, skyscraper, Heat seekers, Blackgentlemen.com & Afterburn and i love emm all!! |

is the author Lilian Gask? here is an excerpt for the one i know "The Count, his master, was a just and kindly man, and fully appreciated his services. As time went on, and a little daughter was born to John and his wife, they felt they had nothing more to ask of Heaven, and the child grew up in an atmosphere of love and sunshine until she was five years old. Then trouble came to the straw-thatched cottage, and the young mother was called away. John and his little Marie were left alone, and for many a day to come the songs of the birds sounded sad to them instead of sweet" |

She writes about Passion that is HOT, desire that is never ending. I would rank her to be a romantic novel writer. |

@ all's been said, Jesus, what kind of books are you girls reading?!! Y'all better get yourselves some Stephen King or Clive Barker. And if y'all want all that yukky yo-yo passionate feministic BS, i recommend Danielle Steel or Nora Roberts. They are one few female writers i believe write maturedly and i have respect for. . . And oh, for historical novels, you can try out Robert Shea or James Clavell. Both of 'em wrote books rich in the Japanese history and culture. Though i prefer Robert Shea's Time of the Dragons by far! |
