I love reading I can't sleep without reading a book
So I was wondering
Does anyone have any recommendations?
I kind prefer reading love stories and that kind of stuff but any recommendations will do

Diana Gaboldon, her books are great. The first one is The Outlander there are six books in that series. They are all good reads.

I just gave this recommendation on another thread. Diana Gabaldon has a series that starts with Outlander. It is part historical fiction, part fantasy, and has a great love story. Her characters feel like people to me. I got to meet Mrs. Gabaldon this summer and she is quite a character.

I love Anne McCaffrey's PERN series as well. It follows a community from advanced scientists who due to a worldwide catastophe end up back to a bronze age lifestyle. There are dragons and all kinds of fun things. There are many books in that series, but they don't all have to be read in a particular order.

Sara Donati has a good series out as well. The first book is Into The Wilderness. In fact in one of her books she refers to a couple of characters in Diana Gabaldon book

If you are interested in love stories then you would LOVE anything written by Nicholas Sparks! Tear jerkers!

If you want a sexy detective, try the Stephanie Plum mystery series by Janet Evanovich. Stephanie has two men after her heart--dark, dangerous bail bondsman Ranger and cool, homebody cop Joe Morelli. You'll chuckle on every page but swoon every time Ranger suddenly appears and says, "Babe."

Start with the first one, One For the Money, and read them in order for the best continuity. Even Stephanie's grandma occasionally gets into the action and has a thing about motorcycles. And Lula!! The series wouldn't be the same without Lula!

Try "Mistral's Daughter" by Judith Krantz.

If you love,love stories, have you tried "The Love story" by Erich Segal.

How about Jude Devereux books?Have you tried them.

"Ashes in the Wind" by Kathleen E. Woddiweiss.

Or maybe the classics like "Mill on the Floss", "Jane Eyre","Little Women" and its sequel "Good Wives", "Wuthering Heights".

I will add some more as I recall the ones I have read... :)

The Death Series by J D Robb aka Nora Roberts. They are good too if you like mysteries

I remembered another wonderful series by Mercedes Lackey called the Bardic Voices. The books are:

Lark and the Wren
Robin & the Kestrel, The
Eagle and the Nightingales
Four and Twenty Blackbirds

Each contain a great love story and are intermingled, but stand alone as well. I also have been enjoying the books out of her 500 Kingdom series of which she has only released 2. They are great stories and are funny, too.

Plain Truth by Jodi Picoult-
Blue Smoke- Nora Roberts
Irish Trilogy - Nora Roberts

All give all the books a try:)
Thanks you

I only read horror novels. The best I've read are Swan Song by Robert R. McCammon, Phantoms by Dean Koontz, Late at Night ( I forget the author & it's hard to find ), & Sins of the Flesh by Don & Jay Davis ( also hard to find ).

Thanks everyone for all their seggustions ill try to read all of them :)

Paulo Coelho's books and they're really really * good books about love and spirituality.

The Alchemist (about following your dreams)
The Zahir (A novel of Obsession)
The fifth mountain (about love and faith)
Veronica Decides To Die (about love, insanity, and a little philosophy mixed in
The Valkyries (a test of love)(I think?? )

Well, they're all good books on the lessons of life, love, and faith 8-D

* = REALLY!!

Hello there! If you want to check out my posting "Someone give me something to read" there are literally TONS of amazing recommendations.

I recommend Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas by James Patterson. It was recommended to me by a dear person, and I can only tell you that it will captivate you.

Do you like the emotional tearjerkers? Read 'go ask alice' it's a diary of a 16-19 year old girl thrown into a messy world of sex and drugs, sounds a little hard to swallow but because its in a diary format, the mmain attraction is the way alice deals with her strife, I read it and developed C.P.T syndrome

What about D Vicni Code by Don Brown and
The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo, and
The Ramayana and The Mahabharta (both by RK Narayan)
And William Shakespeare's PLAYS
And ENS's stuff
And John KEATS for poetry
And TS Eliot and
So so so many

I am like u and can not sleep without finishing a book, but it is a bit tough.
Not? Do u read one book per day?
Honestly tell. I love reading, and my hubby and my God, and now my daughter too, but still writing is my first and the last love. Now I have child being breastfed (pain here, ooch!)and still I am writing and reading, here on net.

Anything by Christopher Moore is just plain fun. I started with Coyote Blue but my favorite is Lamb, the story of Jesus' lost years as told by his BFF Biff. They all have a love story but reality is askew. He is getting more mainstream. I found his book Island of the Sequined Love Nun at the Key West Library but then again we are all a little askew down here! Hope you enjoy.

Recently i read men are from mars, women are from venus. Nice book!

Try "eats, shoots and leaves"

Sword of Truth novels by Terry Goodkind. I strongly recommend the series, once you start the first you just want to keep reading and reading. My fav author without a doubt

Well, I don't know about love stories but I recommend Brian Jacques Redwall series, I have the whole series and I think they're really good, but that's just mae. You could also try Castaways of the flying dutchman, the angels command and voyage of slaves, also by brian jacques.

I recommend ask the dust by john fante

The Mitford Series by Jan Karon. Romantic, funny, inspiring--the adventures of an Episcopal priest in a tiny North Carolina town.

Try Bridges of Madison County

THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT TIME by Mark Haddon, is absolutely beautiful. And I'm reading THE LIFE OF PI right now,great book too.

You should read the book "The Alchemist" its not that long, but it is a very good book. Takes about two days to read it, you could probably read the whole thing in a day if you were that committed to it, but you can do as you please :D the book is worth it!

"my sister's keeper" by Jodi Picoult... a very nice story. They're making a movie actually. :)


Annd just like what majority of the teens read... the "twilight" by Stephenie Meyer.. very nice book also.

You should read the twilihgt series. There really good love stories :)!!

I would highly recommend any book by
Lurlene Mcdaniel or Beverly Lewis.
They write tasteful love stories they are uplifting and inspiring!
:)

BOOK LOVERS ALL DAY!! :)
I recommend The Iron King Series. There are about 7 but if you read the first 4 you should be all set on the whole series.:p

This thread is from 2008

Together: Friday Nights at the Roxy by Majeedah Thomas (http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/together-majeedah-thomas/1114342284?ean=9781630005788)

There are so many trilogies by Nora Roberts which is really good. Or you could try Nora Robert's pen name, J.D. Robb, and her In Death series, which is good as well.
You could try Dragon's Bait, by Vivian Vande Velde, quite a short book but entertaining nonetheless.
You could try The Host by Stephanie Meyer (yes, I know, the author of the Twilight series. Don't hate me for it- I am a book fan, not a movie fan).
If you want to read something a bit darker, then you could read Tithe by Holly Black or even Artemis Fowl series (the first book especially).
Yeah, I can think of some more, but this much is good, I think.

Yes, at least on the part of Wanderingchild and anyone who searches out "good books worth reading" or has responded to this thread before.
