The entire series in one book? That must be pretty big I've got like, 15, 16 books (at a complete guesstimation ), and I'm missing a few as well.

I love reading fantasy, it's my all time favourite genre and pastime. A whole world within such a small object, it's incredible.

I started The Celestine Phrophecy earlier today - apparantly it's about nine great insights leading to a new age of spirituality for humanity. Or something.

I am the only one of my kind. An oddity; unique. An abberation. Do you know what it's like? To be utterly alone? So alone...Is it any wonder I scream with rage and sorrow?

There they sat, those two happy ones, grown up and yet children-children in heart, while all around them glowed bright summer-warm glorious summer.

well so far its about a Guy who's sister was killed at summer camp years ago but the body was never found, the mother ran away right after, The Dad just died, he is being interrogated over a body that was just found who was actually linked to his sisters death...

and thats just the first chapter!

I friggin love Harlan Coben... he knows how to pick up speed in little to no time.

I'm about to start reading "Strangling your husband is not an option" for a book club I'm a part of.
