Tell me. What should I read next.


Given the fact that most of my online friends are also Twilight fanatics, I'm not ashamed to admit that I've just been reading the series over and over again.

But I'm ready to read something new... well I'll work it in between Twilight books so I don't have to go cold turkey. I'm not a machine.

What have you guys loved recently? I DO NOT like Debbie Downers a la My Sister's Keeper. I don't like depression as a form of recreation. It also doesn't have to involve vampires as Edward is the only one for me I think.

I'm open.

I enjoy Nicholas Sparks, but sometimes I feel like "you read one, you've read them all". That said, I HIGHLY recommend "The Last Song" that is soon to be a movie. The book was very very good.

If you like mysteries, Harlen Coben books are good. (not too gory..) But after reading many of them, they do get to be "read one... read em all".

If you want light and fun, the Shopaholic books (or anything by Sophie Kinsella) are good. Stuff by Augusten Burroughs (e.g., Running with Scissors) are twisted but funny and good at the same time.

If you like memoirs/nonfiction, David Sedaris is great, and I just finished "Candyfreak," which is about one guy's obsession with candy and is quite funny.

A site I might recommend -- Goodreads.com. You can keep track of what you've read and see what your friends are reading. This is my direct link (I think, anyway): http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/2350186

I suggest "The Wedding" by Nicholas Sparks. The Gregory Maguire books are great too. Emily Giffin books are fantastic as well. I'm trying to patiently wait for her newest book to be released in May. :)

I only read cooking books and cooking magazines like Rachael Ray and the Food Network. I also pretty much ONLY read magazines so I fear I am no help.
