Just finished The Judas Strain by James Rollins. Why haven't I read anything by him before (at least I don't think I have!) This book was like some amazing hybrid of Dan Brown and Michael Crichton. I seriously couldn't put it down. And every time Andrew tried talking to me while I was reading it I wanted to rip his face off. It was that good. I must pay off my library fines so I can track down more of his stuff. It seems like the characters in this book carried through from previous books and on to future books...so hopefully I've discovered a wealth of reading material...just in time for summer!

Och! Too busy reading to track the books. In no particular order:

Last Chance Saloon by Marian Keyes (I read one of her books years ago and didn't really like it, but I think I've changed my standards since then and thoroughly enjoyed this one.)

Moon Islands by Rosie Thomas

Ruby and Iris by Rosie Thomas (RT spins an interesting enough tale, but I find it really hard to finish her books. I think there's just not enough momentum to pull me through. I did finally get through these though.)

How Will I Know by Sheila O'Flanagan

The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory

Glorious Appearing by Jenkins/LaHaye

Nights of Rain and Stars by Maeve Binchy

Hokus Pokus by Fern Michaels (perhaps one of the worst books I've ever read. Great idea for a story, terrible writing. Had to finish it though because the premise was so funny. Toooo bad.)
