lol same here with the Jodi posts...love her books, HATED the ending of My sister's keeper! Grrrr!

I also like Patricia Cornell & Maeve, forensic science murder stuff...they get a bit repititious though...I still enjoy them for light reading.

I also love the Wheel of Time series (kind of fantasy Lord of the Rings type)...only problem with them is that we all got to book 11 (they will keep you going for a while) and the author died!! The last book wasnt finished! I know it's kind of sad but sort of funny at the same time! Anyhow, someone else is finishing book 12 from the authors notes, cant wait to read it.
