It only took 2 days as it is a kids book, but it was awesome. It had me laughing and crying outloud, and was a fantastic story about a boy raised by the inhabitants of the graveyard. Here's a trailer: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_UUVwTaemk" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...UVwTaemk</a> I really want more people to read this, I would love to see it made into a film.

Originally Posted By alexbook I'll endorse "The Graveyard Book," too. Really excellent (but then Gaiman's stuff nearly always is). I just started re-reading "Clouds of Witness." Not sure if I'm going to go back through the whole Lord Peter series again.

Originally Posted By alexbook Yeah, that's her. This is listed as being in the "paranormal romance" category. Not my usual taste. But some of the rides are haunted, so that's a plus.
Originally Posted By x Pirate_Princess x Hmm, I'll have to look into that one. I really do enjoy her books. I've moved on to the next book by Robin Jones Gunn called Whispers. I give Secrets 4/4 stars
Originally Posted By alexbook "The Bourne Identity" Never read it before. It's pretty different from the movie--so far, I'm enjoying the book more. (Big surprise, huh?)
Originally Posted By Autopia Deb South of Broad, Conroy I've been putting off reading this 'cause it didn't seem that interesting, but just under 100 pages in, I'm hooked.
Originally Posted By x Pirate_Princess x bobbelee, let me know how it is, I have that on my bookshelf. I am now reading #3 by Robin Jones Gunn, Echoes. Woman breaks off engagement, meets a man online...
Originally Posted By bobbelee9 ^^^ I'm only about 1/3 done. It's good but not a page turner. Interesting storyline that already threw in a twist I didn't see coming. That's a good thing because I don't want predictable.
