Hey hey hey now! What is everyone reading?
On the way home yesterday I read SexLife by a.a. clifford. It started off slow, but ended with a bang! I'm a sci-fi nut, so I really enjoyed the concept behind it. It's written by the author Gary Hardwick (using a pen name). It's about a future time when sex is no longer as we know it today, no emotions, no feelings, but a necessity in order to live. The people of that time have a disease and the only thing that fixes it (temporarily) is sex...if they don't have sex 5 times a day, they die. It comes out next month. :-)

Please don't take away my AALBC card but I'm reading Colleen McCullough's The October Horse. Part of it's in Egypt. Does that count?
Historical novels are my favorites and I'm not too far into this one but it has a little too many battle descriptions for me. Hope I get to the juicy stuff soon!

I'm currently reading Sorority Sister's by Tajuana "TJ" Butler. I'm horribly late reading this novel, I've had it forever. It was at the bottom of my TBR pile and I picked it up this morning before walking out of the door. |

LOL Crystal! Have you read This Side of the Sky by Elyse Singleton? That's one of the best book I've EVER read...and I don't read many historical novels. Check it out if you haven't.

Hi Bayou Lights,
What do you think of Once Two Heroes? I'm thinking about adding that one to my "to read list". |

Yvette---
I am VERY impressed with "Once Two Heroes" so far. I loved his first book, "Naming a New World". Baker's writing is just so poetic and layered and the story itself is impressive. A highly recommend from me.

Hi everyone: I was in school for the last two year, so for the most part reading for pleasure had to take a back seat to reading for grades. I did however continue to purchase books, so I am currently in the process of playing "catch-up" to all of my to-read piles. After reading Lion's Blood, I read "I'm Telling"..major disappointment, esp. on the heels of Lion's Blood. I am now reading Raising Fences and so far I really like it. I want to read Douglass' Women next, as anyone read it yet,if so how was it? |

Hi all,
I just finished Walter Dean Myers' new one called "The Dream Bearer" that deals with a family and its abusive/emotionally tortured father/husband. Interesting read.
I'm still reading on Nell Painter's "The Exodusters", a history of the AA pioneers westward ho; and I carry around Barbara Summers' collection of short stories called "Nouvelle Soul," which also came out a few years ago. |

I just finished Darnella Ford's Rising. Still trying to decide if I liked it. There was something in the way the novel introduced the major story elements didn't sit well with me. I liked it and yet I didn't. |

I've picked up Sapphire's Grave by Hilda Gurley-Highgate and although I'm not very far with it, I am enjoying it. Has anybody else read it?

I'm reading "Eden" by Olympia Vernon. The book is awesome!!! Stark imagery, wild characters, simple yet complex plot. I'd love to discuss it with someone when I'm done. |

Hello Sandra,
I read Blue Blood, and A Darker Shade of Crimson (the first book in the series) years ago and LOVED 'EM!! Those seem to be the only two books Graham wrote. I wonder what happened. |
