Ah yes, college does eat up free reading time :rolleyes: Textbooks are so boring. Welcome to the forum - hope you have fun and find lots of great recommendations!! :)

That is terrible! :eek:

Carolyn Hart's Website has all the elements you call for. It is also easy to navigate and I like the section entitled "Carolyn on writing." Vince Flynn's Website is lacking. There are no descriptions of the books, and no way to contact the author or representative. In addition, the...

Fannie Flagg's Website is fairly decent, though more interaction with the fans would be nice.

I ran one on odd news stories for a couple of years. Unfortunately, I had to give it up; now that I have hardly any free time. :(

It does that to you. Its such a great story. I absolutely love Amy Tan's books.

Welcome & have fun!

That's one of my favorites of all time! Hope you enjoy it.

Gracie is a good old domestic short hair (this means mixed breed for non-cat people). I think she might have some persian in her, though, to get that round face and those almond eyes. Dele, I'm so glad that you got to take Rusty into your home. Cats & dogs need people who will love them as...

Welcome & have fun :)

Its pretty good, but definitely not up to P&P standards. I think you'll like it better than you liked <u>Sense and Sensibility</u>. I liked S&S, but I agree that it was no where near P&P.

I'd love to meet all your cats, Mort! The one to the far left resembles my Gracie. All of them are so cute. :) Dele, what a beautiful puppy dog. :)

ACC Champions (and my alma mater):

Watercrystal, you must come from some magical place where kids actively choose to read. Here, until the whole Harry Potter mania, kids were not choosing to read anything besides what was assigned in schools. Most schools did not actively encourage students to read anything beyond the assigned...

Spice Girls! Ack! Sorry you're being subjected to that crap. Currently listening to: the bells on my cats' collars & the shower running in the next room.

Jack is too cute. I love blue heelers...such smart dogs. :)

I enjoyed Skipping Christmas, as well. I'm glad to see there is at least one other person out there who also enjoyed it. I'm not sure it would be a top-rated novel, but it is good for a quick Christmas read and I thought it was sweet.

You can't vote until you're 18 here. I think 15 y/olds could understand the novels, I do not think their 11 y/o counterparts are as likely to understand the novels. My fear is that, even though they understand the novels, they will turn them off to reading. Unfortunately, so much of what...

I would choose a book that I thought would get them interested in reading. I think the majority of 11-15 y/o students would not be thrilled or truly understand 1984 or Lord of the Flies. I think these are books best left to be read later on, when one is ready. I think that many students would...

Chase? My cats are fighters. At least, the first one is. The other one is chaseable. ;)
