Okay I was up till 3 today reading.
I finished one of the three books
The title is Marked By P.C and Kristen Cast
It is about a teenage girl that gets "Marked" by a Vampyre and has to move to a new school and deal with the changes. she also finds out that she holds special powers that help her in defeating the "evil" girl at the school, she really isnt evil just a snob and self absorbed student that is abusing her powers.

^^ Marked sounds good. So does the Dublin series one...I LOVE history, and historical fiction has always been my favorite. The Other Boleyn Girl by Phillipa Gregory is wonderful, as is The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova.
Just finished The Abortionists' Daughter by Elisabeth Hyde. Excellent, excellent. Not too pro choice, more thriller-ish. I mean, the abortionist in the story is pro choice, but it's not a complete slander of either side or anything. I enjoyed it.

Okay, I was up till 5 am reading Twilight by Stephanie Meyer, and I finished it.
OMG it was a really good book. I couldnt put the d**n thing down, hence the reason I was up so late/early, what ever you want to call it.
It is about a 17 year old girl that moves to a new town to live with her dad. She goes to the local high school and meets Edward, a vampire. This book is filled with love some romance and is full of action.

HAHA
I justed finished the book that comes after Twilight, it is called New Moon. It has the same chatracters in the book. This book wasnt a page turner like the first book but i ws good. The begining of the book is slow but it pickes up the pac towards the end. It is def. worth reading.
I cant wait for third book Eclipse tocome out in August. That seems so far away.

Hey I read "The Historian"! It took me quite a while to finish it though, lol. I felt like I knew a lot about Eastern Europe by the end  I read "The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield a few months ago. It's about a woman, Margaret Lea, who works in her father's antique bookstore. One day she receives a letter from Vida Winter - one of the most renowned writers of the time - to write her biography. Ms. Winter's life is shrouded in mystery and all previous attempts to write her biography have failed because she hides her past so well. As Margaret records Ms. Winter's life story, she finds that the two very different women have both lost someone very dear. "The Thirteenth Tale" is, at its core, a ghost story. It tells of loss, not just of a loved one, but also of one's self, and of the redemption that can help us find ourselves when we are shrouded in sadness. |

Oooo...The Thirteenth Tale sounds wonderful. I must go get a copy of it. I have to have SOMETHING to read. I simply must have a book to read, I can't stand not having one. I loved the Historian and I loved "The Templar Legacy" by Steve Berry. I'm a huge "history/mystery" freak! Also another good series is the "Dime Store Magic" series. They were great. Has anyone read the "Outlander" series? I loved them.

If you're into mysteries, have you ever read Nero Wolfe? I love that series.
