Dawn Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 (edited) My library does these crazy promos....Take out 5 books and get a dvd for free. So my brother and i are always comming out of the armed with these books. Anyway the other day we went in to get a film and they said again that if we took 5 books out we could have a free dvd. So we both went to the books trying to find something we fancied but trying to hurry up as well. I moved to the fiction section and i saw loads of books by Nora Roberts. Never heard of her. I picked 5 books, including a triology and i have to say, fucking fantastic! Made me cry as well. I dont think i have enjoyed a series so much. Its total fantasy and on occasion a little cringy but if you read it with an open mind you will love them. Ill list them for you incase your interested Morrians CrossDance with the GodsValley of the Silence. Edited February 10, 2010 by Dawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValarieAnne Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Right now I'm reading some "alternate reality historical fiction". Since I'm am trying to write something along these lines myself a friend gave me some books. This one is called "His Majesty's Dragon", set during the Napoleonic wars. The difference being that there is another line of the military - Aviators - who use dragons. It's different and well written. Also I'm waiting on something called "the Greenwoman's Guide".

Guest Magdalena Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I have just finished reading a couple of novels by `L.J. Smith` The secret circle. The first was `The Initiation` and the second ` The Power` I really enjoyed them, the story is based in `New Salem` and about the circle of Witches.

Guest Oakbuchanan Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Funny Gaiman come up..Im in the middle of reading 'Good Omens' By Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. Really fun read, I have tried with Pratchett and His Disc world but they tend to wear me out, with every second line demanding my gafaws..never finished one.. But lovin 'Good omens'.. Im also reading 'The secret of Atlantis' by Otto Muck, working my way through Betrand Russells 'Wisdom of the west', and just started 'Fabrato the Magician' By Franz Bardon.

Lela Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Not really reading any fiction at the mo, but I'm currently reading Popular Magic: Cunning-folk in English History by Owen Davis. And since I'm determined to learn how to read the Tarot (again) this year, I'm also reading The Easiest way to Learn the Tarot by Dusty White and I have to say for the first time, it's starting to click for me. :grin_witch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenFlyer Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I love Gaiman. I liked American Gods, and Anansi boys, and Good omens is good but was probably the most difficult of his books for me to get through. I also love his comic books.Sandman and Death were amazing. As well as the Books of Magic (although he only wrote the first one). Right now I am reading Vodou Visions by Sallie Ann GlassmanEvoking Eternity by E.A. Koetting and for funSweep - by Cate Tiernan. It's about a girl who discovers she is a blood witch, and starts to discover her powers. Its teen fiction but it's nice to have something a little fun to read. And it's better than that god-awful twilight series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have recently read the Pickingill Papers twice to make sure I got to grips with it. And I'm waiting for Alice Hoffmans practical magic to arrive any day now.
