I'm currently going through Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. I'm on Blackwood Farm right now. It's a great book! What I love about it, is it has not only vampires, but witches, and ghosts as well! I'm about half way through it, and I'm having a hard time putting it down. I'm going to read Blood Canticle next. Hopefully, by the time I finish all of the Vampire Chronicles, I will have recieved all of the books in the next series I want to read from PaperBackSwap. So What are you reading?

Blackwood Farm is about Tarquin Blackwood, and his family property Blackwood Manor. It tells his family history, and how he has a 6th sense for ghosts. He gets himself into a bit of trouble with a Vampire, and ends up being turned into one. He goes to Lestat, the most well known vampire in the Vampire Chronicles, and tries to explain to Lestat why he wants his 'familiar' killed. It's very interesting, I love it.

Well, I don't think they are horrible books. I guess it is a matter of opinion though. You should read some Nicholas Sparks books, if you would like to read romances. I like them, they aren't paranormal or anything, which is strange for me to like them but I love them. There are websites that you go go to for free e-books, but I don't read those, I just order books from other members on paperbackswap. If you live in the US, you can join that site, just use jenni7202 as your referral. Post the books you don't want, and use the credits to order new ones. People will request the books you post, and you will have to mail them. I've mailed about 15 books as of now, and have paid under $15 to do so. I've also already recieved around 8 books, and still have some on the way.

I am currently reading a book called ESCAPE, by Carolyn Jessop, a woman who managed to escape the LDS cult with all eight of her children. It's a fantastic book, and she's been speaking out all over the place about what's been going on in the cult.

I love Anne Rice. I started reading her books but didn't get to finish them. I'll probably go back and start all over again because I forgot about everything. Right now I am reading The clique Summer collection Dylan's story by Lisi Harrison. It's a pretty good book and it's for teenagers but I like reading books like that.

I am a fan of Anne Rice books too. I have to agree that Blackwood Farm is one of those books you just cannot put down. Actually something silly happened when I just bought it. I was riding the bus and decided to start reading it. I've read in the bus before so that was nothing new. But it was so engrossing I totally forgot to pay attention and noticed far too late that I'd missed my stop. It took me an extra hour to get home!

Haha! I've done that before. I've vowed never to read on the bus again, plus, for some reason I tend to get motion sickness these past 2 years, so that's another reason not to, lol.

So this kind of books are also my favorites! I like reading books about adventures and detectives stories.Despite I am extremly scared to those horrible and ghastful things,I love to know them.Maybe human beings are common to feel satisfied through getting into excitement and mysteries. The website"paperbackswap",I tried to become one of its member,but finally found that it is impossible for me to exchange books with others because we are in different countries.Even it is ok,so how expensive the post cost?I am so upset,but anyhow,I just buy books and read accordingly.It seems much convenient. I have read "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in highschool and was so impressed that I felt rather concerned about the blacks's life in America.I hate slavery,hate the slave owners but It is gratified that black people now are equal to their white brothers. Have a nice day.

Hey jenni. I am reading the classic now:Pride and Pejudice. I just would like to read it all of s sudden. I enjoy reading this kind of books. I can hardly get rid of them myself. Next I think would be Cecelia's P.S. I Love You. But I am still trying to get this book. In China I can get this English books that easily. Few book stores in my city sell these books.

I LOVED THAT BOOK! I'd have to say the second one is just as good as the first to the series of Tarquin. I have't read it in sometime, but I think this just made me want to pick it up again! If you like Anne Rice, give Neil Gaiman a shot, he's great. He wrote the screen plays to Stardust, Beuwolf, Mirror Mask, and so many other great movies.

If you liked this series check out The Mayfair Witches by her. One of her earlier works. Good read.
