It's great when we find a good story that we just can't stand to step away from. It's quite the opposite when we invest in a book, only to find it boring and tough to read half-way through. What about you? Ever find that book you simply couldn't put down? Click here to read the article ...

I love that feeling.. where u can't wait to pick up your book and continue the story!  I think the only thing worse than that.. is the almost mourning feeling u get when its all over!!  I have been waiting years to finish a series by Terry Goodkind, and book 12 just came out reciently, and it took 2 days to finish that AMAZING 12th book... as I got closer to the final chapters though, how do u slow down and savor the ending!!  now the characters are gone and its like missing a friend who's gone  ( but u can re-read the book.. hehe)  The strangest coincidence was the Friday nite i was finishing the final chapter, about 1 hour later, without my even knowing ABC had started a TV mini series of his books - The Sword of Truth!!  So far only 6 or 7 1 hour tv episodes have come out!!  YEA.. what an unexpected surprise from finsihing one of my favorite sci-fi series!!   Can't wait for the next book to escape into!!

I finally just bought it yesterday for my 13 year old daughter, she has been wanting it since it came out.  Apparently EVERYONE is reading it.  I had to get a confident review about it being age appropriate before I got it for her, I finally got that review the other day, a fellow mom advised me that there was nothing beyond kissing so I bought it.  I would have read it myself but i am really not into vampire kind of stuff.  I hear now that a lot of people are not into vampire kind of stuff and they all really enjoyed it.  I may give it a try when i am done with the new James Patterson.  Cross Country, anyone read it yet?  I just got it last night also.  Yes, I love James Patterson, I totally agree, it is so sad when the book ends Frown

I LOVED this series!  I have read all four of the Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series and I also read her book The Host.  I loved that one as well!

I love reading, my favorites would be horror and mystery. There are days, normally Sunday, where I pick up my book in the morning and before I know it I have to turn on a light because the sun has set.

I get that way with Harry Potter books. I have the whole series and have read each one at least 10 times (for those that know HP books, know they are not thin books at all).  I can't put them down. When I first got the new books, I was known to stay up all night reading, losing track of time.

I get that way with Jodi Piccoult books. They are just so fascinating and unlike TV, you don't have to wait until next week to find out what happens!
