I just finished Origin ID and I'm going to take a short break by starting a new series. I picked up WEB Griffin's Men in Blue. The first book in his Badge of Honor series. I also made a score at the goodwill the other day. Steven King's Hearts in Atlantis, and The Stand. Looks like I'll be busy for a while.

I'm tempted to reread The Stand...probably my favorite Stephen King ever...well until I stopped reading a lot of his stuff because I was so creeped out!!

I picked up Night Pleasures by Sherrilyn Kenyon and Flirting with Danger by Suzanne Enoch at the library this week, because I obviously spend way to much time on the What are you currently reading thread!! I can't keep up with all the great suggestions!! :thumbs-up:

I'm reading Lisa Scottoline's Why My Third Husband Will Be A Dog. It's a collection of her columns (Chick Wit) from the Philadelphia Inquirer. So far, it's made me smile, made me laugh out loud, made me cry a bit in places.

I"m currently reading two books.

1. Lady Killer by Lisa Scottoline. It's the first time I've read one of her books and I have to say I have only one chapter left and I'm not a fan at all. There are two many characters clashing together and the plot really isn't going anywhere. Out of the many many characters she has in this novel so far I only like 2!

2. Wicked by Jilly Cooper. Again, it's the first time I've read one of hers but I must say I'm only a few chapters in but I'm loving it! It's a charming book made up of delightful characters and a brilliant story line.

Jem :)

Wow....I just added a post but completely missed that you're starting Lisa Scottoline. You'll have to tell me what you think. I may have just picked a bad one.

I'm about halfway through Men in Blue by WEB Griffin and I am loving it. I think that many of the ID fans here might like it. Today I picked up a copy of the second book in the series, Special Operations and will be starting it in the next day or so.

Also it looks like my break from ID won't be happening after all. I also picked up today the unabridged audo copy of Creation and Strangers ID at Books-A-Million for twenty dollars for both. I love the clearance rack!

I read some Lisa Scottoline years ago and didn't care for it. I think I read three, all with female lawyers as the leads, and I was having a hard time keeping them straight. But I love her newspaper column and I loved Why My Third Husband Will Be A Dog. Jem, you might give that a try.

Anyone who wants to read the column, by the way, instead of diving right into a whole book, it's available online here.

Finished Men in Blue. A real page turner and I recomend it to any one here. Back to the clearance rack at Book-A-Million. I picked up The Victim, The Witness, and The Assassin. Books 4, 5, and 6 in the Badge of Honor Series by Web Griffin. I,m just starting Special Operations.

I looked but there were no ID on the rack today.

I'm reading the Hardcover, The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty by Anne Rice.

I like those books. They're a total departure from her Vampire Chronicles and her Biblical series. But her writing style shines through, and the story is just plain HAWT :drool: (I'm a total Anne Rice nerd BTW :P).

Reading Private Scandals by Nora. Just finished a re-read of Honest Illusions. I forgot how much I loved that book.

Jason, if you're looking for another series by WEB Griffin, try The Corps. Its a great series. DH and I have both read it and love it. I've read some of the Badge of Honor and Special Ops series. Both are great.

Reading Montana Creeds: Tyler by Linda Lael Miller. Started it over Christmas and am now finishing it.
