When you find the secret, share it with me. If you want free area to promote, try starting a blog, post regularly and keep it interesting. That may draw some people. You should also try and get people to review the books at sites where the books can be bought... like amazon.com.

Welcome. Looks like our reading tastes don't really coincide so I prob can't help ya with recommendations, but I do agree with you on the pt that books are awesome.

The Icemark series by Stuart Hill is adventure sort of fantasy, but I think it also fits YA category given the main character's age in the first story. Still, I love that series. I'm still a Brandon Sanderson fan. Mistborn series more than the others though. He kinda sounds closer to the stuff...

I was with ya all the way up until horror :-) Sci-fi, suspense, thrillers all excellent. Horror usually just creepy. Never heard of Brent Weeks, which category does that fit in? Grats on your book.

Yup, the nobleman'll (Elend) be back, but he gets more likable as the series moves on. He's rather a stuffshirt in the first book. Kelsier's certainly got a lot of attitude. I like Vin cause she's got the superpowers :-P

Ha, well, there's no guarantee that you'll like the same stuff I like. It's okay. I don't get to read for fun all that much these days. Been doing a lot of proofreading of my own. It's fun but can get somewhat tedious. I find I have wider "reading" tastes when I listen to audiobooks. Oh, try the...

In days gone by I was - and somewhat still am - a fan of Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys mysteries, but these days, I'm more into lighthearted stuff like The Spellmans series by Lisa Lutz or forensic science mysteries like The Bug Man series by Tim Downs or books by Kathy Reichs (okay, so not so...

Hey, guess I'm just more of a light-hearted mystery type reader. My disdain for Wuthering heights could also have been the fact that I was 17 and annoyed to be wasting my time on that rather than star wars books or something :-)

Crime like true crime stuff or crime like mystery stories? What sort of thrillers?

Yes, please tell us what you like to read. Do you read a real book or kindle/ ereader these days?

Ah, so you go for more of the classics. I read Wuthering Heights in high school over a summer.... I thought it was awful, but that could be b/c I wasn't really paying attention, it was just a shorter book reading option than Anna Karenina.

I've seen a lot of Danielle Steel's books but I've never actually read any. I've listened to the audios of Dan Brown's work. It was okay. Not my fav but not awful. Welcome.

Excellent. Magic sys is one of my favorite aspects of the series. Do you have a favorite character? I don't remember all that much, it's been a few years, but I remember Vin and the noble and the Terrisman.

Hey Christine, I admire that you can keep up with a book blog. I always get like 2 entries into my blogs and then lose interest.

define regularly active Welcome. There are always new threads to post...or if you have questions or opinions...it's easy to start your own thread.

Harry Potter's worth reading. The first 2 were very kiddie, the 3rd picked up a little action, the forth was my favorite, then they sort of went downhill (but were still decent) until the end of the 7th book which was enjoyable...very end pulled one of those 30 yr later things that tend to annoy...

Very recently, I've come to like Thomas W. Young. He writes thrillers about the Afghanistan war.

If you can handle a bit of cursing and a fair amount of violence, shipbreaker is great.

I have recently enjoyed reading Shipbreaker and The Drowned Cities. Both are grim future sort of stories, but well written and compelling. They're technically middle grade in the library, but I think that they're more appropriate 9th grade reading material

I tried...still hasn't worked out so well for me. Still love the feel of a book.
