The Historian

I'm on chapter 15 and what a story! It is a great conglomeration of murder, research, and history. I'm posting discussions at the Cove, but would love for you to read along. I'd be glad to share any posts with you!

Lots of James Patterson in 2007!

See below for all the new James Patterson titles available in 2007! These are all written with other people. I'm sure he'll throw an Alex Cross novel in at some point!

Finished New Moon

The book has ended and I'm dying to know what happens next! I love when a book ends and you just know that another in the series absolutely has to happen!

Almost finished with New Moon...

New Moon is the second in a series by Stephenie Meyer. They are about a high school student named Bella who gets mixed up with a vampire clan named The Cullens. She falls in love with Edward Cullen in Twilight, the first in the series, and their adventures continue in New Moon. These books are surprisingly good!
