What Books Have You Recently Purchased?

Ah, I have so many good books, and even my college text books as well. I got so many books it like a libarary here lol. So I got new books called 1. Obesessions can be murder by Connie Shelton, 2. White Out by Vicki Delany and 3. The Coldest Winter by David Halberstam. I do love to read Stephen Kings and so many good authors. I prefer to read the book before they show the movie. Reading the books is more depth then the movies. It also help me fall alseep when I read a book.

- "Scribbles of Dreams" by Pearson (I don't remmy author's first name but her last name)
- "Third Child" (I dont remmy who wrote this, sorry)
- "Poppy" by Brian Floca

Scribbles of Dreams is a slight similar to Romane and Juliet story, but it's more dramatic and a bit of crueler than the Romane & Juliet story we know. It's not really a lot of emotion of love, my opinion.

Third Child -- It's pretty much similar to China's limit popularity if you know what I am talking about. A boy must to protect himself from being discovered as an illegally third child. It's very sad story... :( I love it.

Poppy -- It's actually for children but I still like it. A mouse girl tried to save her people from a great owl. Nothing speical, actually. ^_^

AS for my own novel, I have more 1,300 pages and almost have 100 chapters right now. :) I still need to revise, re-write, and etc etc blah. :P

like mini series. That is what I did with my first four series for young audience. But I am planning to make them into 80,000 words instead of 40,000. So revision and rewrite...it never ends there, life goes on haha...

Everyone do make mistakes. You are not alone Mann. Revision and rewrite is every writer's nightmare, lol.

Aren't we thankful that our family have their love in books, enough to pass down to their children like us. *wink* They were from our grandparents and great grandparents and on and on...My father had so many old history books. I have a few too that were dated way, way back in their time. Their basement (it was sold two years ago) were filled with books of any kind. Even most were in the 1800's, maybe some from 1700's I have to check the dates of the books when it was published.

Welcome to the deaf book club moonflower!!! Nah, I don't think it is nut. If I am not working, I would read the whole book in one day, even two. Depends. Haha...

My daughter loves Nora Roberts and kept telling me read one of her books. Yes she took after my footstep and have a great love in books. Anyway, I kept putting it off on a hold (To read Nora Roberts to see if I like it.) She let me borrow one of her's and it is sitting there on my bookcase. I better pick it up soon.

You are welcome. Amazon.com is great! I go there alot. Ever overspend it, lol. I get $25 certicficate for Amazon alot from my credit card company. I also buy CDs there too, not just books. But I worship books.

Every writers have their own talents. My best friend has met one deaf writer in New Jersey at Barnes & Nobles and bought his book. She got his autograph also. I wish I was there! He made copies of his books and sells Barnes & Nobles. I don't think he has an agent yet. I haven't read it yet. He did mentioned that he was hoping it will sell this year. I will find the name of that deaf author, I have it somewhere.
