Hey. I'm TJ. (I'm female) I'm new to Library Thing but I thought I would give it a try. I own the group "Midnight Breed Fans" But other then that this is the only other group I've decided to join.

I mainly read Paranormal Fiction or Sci-Fi...Sometimes random old literature books will get in my lists. Due to English classes and such. Between work and school I readlly don't have the time to read but I try my best. Because of this I might not make it to 75 =/

I post all of my book reviews at:

Thanks. :) I do hope not. Seeing as it's already October 2011. But I write down all the books I read including the start and stop dates. So It was easy to fill this all out :) Guess it payed off.

Welcome to the group! Which book did you enjoy the most this year already?
Of your list I've only read Lord of the flies, which I had to read for school. I saw the movie of The girl with the dragon tattoo.

Mene - I really enjoyed the Midnight Breed series by Lara Adrian and Relentless by Dean Koontz. I'm reading Lord of the Flies right now for school. I'm not enjoying it. It's slow and an easy read.

Gogs81 - I hope I will.

One of the King books that we are missing in the library I work for is Carrie. I keep looking for a decent copy at book sales but haven't found one yet. (Another unnecessary excuse to visit book sales.)

You know I'm still undecided on how I felt about reading Carrie. It's interesting. I don't think it's great for literary purposes, I understand it was King's first book...but it was just...odd. But I liked it. It kept my attention at least. And the movie version of it isn't that bad either. Carrie I think opens new ideas on how people treat other people. (If you've read it you'll get my last sentence, maybe).
