Book Suggestions

So, I received quite a few emails over the past week asking for good book suggestions. Generally, I read about 2-3 books a week; and I have more than a few suggestions for a good read at any given time. I know that there are a lot of people out there that tend to read only certain types of books. I find that very boring, and I should point out to any new readers of this blog that I literally read everything....and when I say everything I do mean everything. I love everything from biographies, romances, historical romances, historical fiction, historical non-fiction, controversial science research papers, science fiction, horror and gore, thrillers, mysteries ...and everything in between. I love to read and if it's interesting and thought provoking I am willing to give it a try.

I decided to write this post today when I received an email from Kyle Kosick from Boston, MA. He said he "missed my weekly book suggestion posts from before I sold out, and started posting through blog spot." I'm sorry Kyle, but I should point out that my domain was costing me damn near a fortune to maintain, and the coding was a HUGE pain in the derriere. But, that is beside the point. Anyway, I've gotten quite a few emails like Kyle's over the past week or so, and it has made me realize that I miss writing my weekly book suggestions posts.

Books are my favorite topic to discuss, and I can't believe I haven't written one single book review for this blog yet. That is something I am determined to rectify immediately. While I can't promise that I will update with one of my famous book reviews each week I do make the promise to make them more frequent. I will also make a promise that I know I can keep. Every week I will post the books that I am currently reading or have read recently that I think my fellow book nerds will enjoy.

Since, I haven't done this in a while I will give you a list of 5 books that I really enjoyed recently:

1) "A Brief History of Time" By: Stephen Hawking.
First off, I should mention this book is a total mind fuck! It will change the way you think about the world, and about the universe. I had picked this book up from the library after it was suggested to me by my friend Joel. I highly recommend this book if you were not forced to read it for your freshman year of college physics class.

2) "Lord Loss" By: Darren Shan
"Guaranteed to gross anyone out!" is right! This book series like Shan's Cirque Du Freak is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Shan is a master when it comes to gore and making me go "EWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!" If you were a big fan of Goosebumps as a kid you will fall in love with this series and fast. It is fast paced and the plot has so many twists and turns it will definitely keep you on your toes. Be prepared to make a trip to Barnes and Nobel the day after you finish this book to buy book 2 in the series the "Demon Thief."

3) "Demon Thief" By: Darren Shan
This book was just as good as the first book in the series. The ending comes way out of left field. Enjoy:) 

4) "The uninvited" By: Tim Wynne-Jones
I loved this book! I literally spent a whole day and night reading it. It was very good and the ending was so unexpected. I loved Mimi and now I definitely want a mini cooper.

5)"Real Vampires Have Curves" By: Gerry Bartlett
This book actually made me laugh out loud in public! It is very clever and the main character Glory is very relatable...and it kind of made me want a talking dog/bodyguard named Valdez. 

Well, I hope you enjoy my book suggestions. Let me know if you agree or disagree in the comments and as always stay tuned.
