Originally Posted By Mrs ElderP I'm on Order of the Phenoix too, and I have an odd debate going on in my head.

Originally Posted By x Pirate_Princess x *I* would read/listen again. 5 & 6 have been the most important, with the most info given, and order of operation may be important. I can't remember much of #6, and I've read it twice.
Originally Posted By mele I've been reading a lot lately. Two of the last books I read were: "Darkly Dreaming Dexter" and "Darkly Devoted Dexter" both by Jeff Lindsay. They really aren't that well written but the 2nd, Darkly Devoted Dexter, is better than the first. I got really tired of how often the writer had to remind us that Dexter is "inhuman". I haven't seen the Showtime series based on these characters. I only read these because my husband checked them out from the library for himself and I needed something to read. A third book called "Dexter in the Dark: A Novel" comes out in September. I'll probably read it eventually. Another book I just read is "Ask Again Later: A Novel". (What's with the ": A Novel" in book titles?) Anyway, I liked it well enough to check out another book by the author, Jill A. Davis. My least favorite of the books I have read has to be "The Sunday List of Dreams" by Kris Radish. It sounds like it may be interesting at the beginning but I found it to be just really, really boring and unrealistic. The very last book I read was "Cranberry Queen" by Kathleen DeMarco. I have both of her novels and like each one.

Lisey is very interesting so far (on tape 4 of 16) - oops, gotta go to the gym so I find out what happens next!).
