I need a book suggestion

Unread post

Okay.. I need a good book to read.. I've been trying to find a good book but every time I start one I lose interest really quickly and end up putting it down and never pick it up again.. I dont know when the last time i actually finished a book was, maybe ive just been picking ones that are too long and not that interesting.. My sister is a big Norah Roberts fan, so she keeps telling me to read one of her books but I'm not sure which one to read.. Any suggestions would be much appreciated..

What genre? There are a few authors on this site, and reading their books would allow you to discuss them with the authors.

Before I can give personal advice you'll have to say what you're interested in.

Fantasy - Sword of Truth

I read a few books by Nora Roberts over the summer and they were pretty good. Her book titled Vision In White is a really good one about a wedding photographer and has some drama of her own. I also really liked her book Northern Lights which was an unexpected love story in Alaska…It really depends what kind of plot you're looking for tho.

So did anyone else check out the movie?? What did you think??? I liked the movie. Yes it wasn't like the book. Nora's books are rich with information and excitement, you could not fit everything into the two hours. But overall I enjoyed watching the movie.

Did anyone see the nora roberts movie?

I didn't like it too much- quite unhappy but i am really looking forward to seeing high noon instead-- looks more realistic.. i also watched SATC- which is always a good movie for that kick back night with your girlfriends..
