Hi everyone, I love this thread! We are sailing oct 30. And I am trying to find a can't put down read.

I wanted to say a bit about Jodi Picoults "My sisters keeper". Several posts mentioned this book. This is the best book I have ever read. It has twists and turns like you wouldn't believe. It is a very emotional read, I think I cryed 2-3 times while my DH was laying next to me in bed thinking "she's nuts".

I also loved the Notebook by Sparks. Wonderful love story!

I like Stephen Kings "Pet Sematary", really good horror read.

I am trying to read the Kite Runner right now, it came highly recommended. So far its pretty good.

Happy cruising everyone!

I just ordered 'My Sisters Keeper' as it was mentioned several times in this thread and I've heard good things. LOVE other reader personal recommendations rather than what's on top of the bestseller list. I've made that mistake before, spending money on a book because it was on the bestseller lists, then realized it was there because the publishing company had a good chunk of money into promotion and not because it was good! lol

 

If the Notebook is your taste, you'll love the book mentioned above by Alisa Allan. Winds Of Change. I loaned it to a friend and the Notebook was her favorite all time, and she said this one beat that. This was a 'can't put down' book for me, I haven't had one of those in a long time.

 

And for the poster looking for something on the Southern Caribbean, the same author of Winds Of Change, Alisa Allan, has several coming out, all of different cruise regions, so you might check that site. And her first one would be suitable for 12 year old I think, nothing graphic, and I imagine her others are the same, you might want to read first though, just in case.

 

I have such a long list of books now, I'm kinda glad winter is coming up so I can curl up and read them all!

Skiiergirl... also wanted to reply to your other thread about Alisa Allan's books. I've only read the first one, Winds Of Change, so you're ahead of me, but I loved it! I think I'm still dreaming about Carter. Are you? Or am I the only one!

 

You're ahead of me and I'll have to catch up but they are great cruise oriented books. As a cruiser, loved reading about the ports and such. And I like the fact that she's very conservative when it comes to the sex scenes, I don't need to read about every detail and I like that she doesn't go into too much. Can't wait to read my next one, I just ordered it.

I think 'bookcrosser' has a website, I thought I read it a few posts back. I remember going to the website once and it's my understanding you put a label in the book and leave it somewhere and whoever finds it can register it on the website and you kind of track its travel. Keep meaning to do this with a few, it's on my list of 'Things To Do' that just keeps growing! lol

I have a few on my list, the Kite Runner is a definate now, and I also heard good things about (give me a minute), Susan Kidd? Can't remember if that's it or not and it's probably in the posts but I have a slow dial up connection today (I know, ancient). Bees Knees? or something? NO, Secret Life Of Bees. That's it. And there's another one too, but can't remember it.
