I just finished reading a book called, Gianna, by Jessica Shaver. Its about a woman who aborted her child, but the child lived. It is such a heart-warming and touching book and has geared me back into reading books. Do anyone know of any other good books to read?

I'm reading the "A Song of Fire and Ice" series by George R.R. Martin. The first one, Game of Thrones is a series on HBO. I normally don't like fantasy books, but these are amazing! There are pretty good plot twists to keep you interested. I highly recommend these books!

I'm also reading Martin's "A Song of Fire and Ice" series. I love the characters in these books. The villains have redeeming qualities, and the heroes have flaws. My favorite character is Tyrion, the dwarf.

I saw the preview for the Stephanie Plum Movie, which prompted me to buy a few of the books. They are funny, interesting and a great way to spend a few hours. They are not the kind of books to change your life or anything, but are a great read.

I am a huge Stephen King fan, but with that being said I haven't really liked his last few books. It seems like after he was hit by that car he was never really the same. His books became much darker, more about cold blooded murder, and less thrilling or having to do with the supernatural. It's too bad, but I still love reading his older books.

Dkramer, have you read anything by Joe Hill? He's Stephen King's son, and his books still have the slow build of fear, and the supernatural flair. Then again, I'm biased. Heart Shaped Box is easily my favorite book of all time.

I have just finished Jeff Abbott's "Adrenalin." It is a true adrenalin rush, with spies, counter-spies and counter-counter-spies. The plot is easy to follow even with all of this espionage. If you're a fan of books that really move and put you in the driver's seat on a great ride, check out this fascinating read.

I am reading the "Scarpetta Factor", by Patricia Cornwell. I love her novels, she writes well and keeps me wanting more. I have read almost all her books. I have her newest ones yet to read and I'm trying to get to them as fast as I can.
I wouldn't put a comma after Factor, but I guess it's a matter of choice. However, if I would, it would go before the last quotation marks...like this:
I am reading the "Scarpetta Factor," by Patricia Cornwell.
Better yet, when writing the name of a book, newspaper, magagine or so on, is to put the name of the book in italics...
Scarpetta Factor.

I am currently infatuated with “The Untethered Soul” by Michael Singer. Although I typically read fiction, this exploration of the Self behind the personality and finding inner calm is an excellent read.

I'd recommend "Stumbling On Happiness" by Daniel Gilbert. He reviews some of the scientific literature on happiness, and he shows how and why people are often bad at predicting whether or not something will make them happy.

I recently read "What the Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast," by Laura Vanderkam. This book really made me think about my morning routine. I have made some changes that I think will greatly impact my life!

I have heard good things about the "Games of Thrones" and even see a few TV commercials on it myself. I am an avid sci-fi and fantasy reader, but for some reason I have never got around to reading it yet. Can anyone give me a some idea of what makes this book special?

I have read all 5 installments of the "A song of Fire and Ice" series by George R. R. Martin. Now I can't wait to read the sixth installment, which is still currently written.

I've just finished reading "The Mockingjay" from Suzanne Collins. I loved this series, and have seen the first movie, "The Hunger Games". I can't wait to see how the next movie turns out.

I have read so many books lately but the one thing that sticks to mind is the Bronze Horseman series by Paullina Simons. It is an epic love story set against the backdrop of war. I fell in love with the characters and their struggles that they're forever burned in my mind.
