I bought the whole series on ebay cheep thinking I would have tons of time to read while recuperating from surgery but it turned out I just couldnt read...too crossed eyed I guess. lol But now I'm enjoying them, thanks for mentioning.

Originally Posted By sarahwithbaloo IamaDLfan that is so cool I am sure you will love the series I am so hooked I NEED the next one that comes out next year I think I will have to time a re-read of the others when a release date is anounced. I have just finished the first Lord John spin off and I am now back to the Kent Family Chronicals, not alot of reading time right now as it is Jess' BD tomorrow and I have been knitting dolls clothes for her.
Originally Posted By jasmine7 Still working my way through the Dark Tower series. I'm on #4, Wizard and Glass now, and I'm really loving it. I love getting more of Roland's youth than what was given in the Dark Tower comic mini-series. It's nice to see those scenes as they were originally imagined by King, so fully fleshed out and emotional.
Originally Posted By ImaDLFan SWB, thats funny about the kent family chronicles....I read them in high school, I think they were new then! I remember I couldnt put them down. I tend to like the "series" books I get way too attached to the characters. I recently read the Mitford series by Jan Karon. I absolutely love those...very warm fuzzies.
Originally Posted By sarahwithbaloo I am the same with series books I get very attached. I will have to look in to the Mitford one next then as it appears we have similar reading tastes.

Originally Posted By Tinkeroon I hear good things about the Mitford series' books also. I keep saying I'm going to read them but I keep getting more and more books and have no more time to read them. I have a stack of about 10 books waiting to be read.

Originally Posted By ImaDLFan Tinkeroon, same with me!

It doesnt stop me from buying that interesting book I find at the bookstore though! LOL
Originally Posted By jasmine7 I'm a little over half-way through with the final book of the Dark Tower series. I swear, Stephen King is going to kill me before it's over.

Originally Posted By Tinkeroon I'm now reading the Fiery Cross. #5 in the Outlander series. I know it will be just as entertaining as the previous 4. Diana Gabaldon is a great writer!
Originally Posted By sarahwithbaloo Just to warn you Tinkeroon I think this is the one I found a little slower than the others (and by the message boards I read I am not the only one) but stick with it as she gets back on form with ABOSAA the next one.
