Reading Bug!

This may seem weird to some people, but I am so proud of myself because I have read 4 books in the past 6 weeks!! This is an amazing thing for me! I am not really a reader. In the past few years I have read all of the Harry Potter books when they have come out. But besides that, nothing! But a few months ago our ward book club was reading "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer.
I had heard so much about it, so I gave it a try! And loved it enough to read "New Moon" and "Eclipse" (they are all in the same series) It is a fun read.
For our club we read, "Gilead" by Marilynne Robinson (but I didn't finish it)
Then "Rebecca" by Daphne Du Maurier. (That one took me a few weeks to read)
After our discussion, we had a few weeks before we were going to get the next book. So that is when I read "Eclipse". Then the inner geek hiding inside of me came out and I read "Death in Winter" by Michael Jan Friedman.
Yes I am a Star Trek Fan! I love The Next Generation! It has been a long time since I have read a Star Trek book. Pat found this one for me and said that I needed to buy it because it was about Picard and Crusher! I really liked the book, because they are together at the end :) I am happy to say that I finished it in about 8 days! (That is way fast for me) We then got our new book on Sunday.
"The Goose Girl" by Shannon Hale
I just finished this book yesterday! And loved every page of it! I can't believe that I read it in 5 days! Shannon Hale has written two other books that have the same characters from "Goose" so I am totally going to get those too :) Now since I have about 2 1/2 weeks until our group meets I have started to read another Star Trek book.
"A Time to be Born" by John Vornholt.
This book is the first in a series of 8 or 9 books. So I think that I will be reading these in between book group books.
Thanks for reading my reading list! LOL I am just so excited! I have caught the reading bug :)

I'm so proud of you Breanne! Except for the whole Star Trek thing :) Now there are some books that I don't see myself ever reading! I hope you got your Christmas shopping done!

I have read all of those books except for the Star Trek ones, although I LOVE Star Trek Next Generation and I have had a long standing crush on Jean Luc for years now. Goose Girls is so good, I read a couple of her other books and they are good too.
Twilight is of course AMAZING and Rebecca is a classic. Don't you just love book clubs? We just finished reading "Beauty" by Robin McKinley and "Persuasion" by Jane Austin, both very good books.
I also have to say that I waited for all the Harry Potter Books to come out before I read them, so I am now reading book three and loving the experience.
