Kinda Scary? THE SURGEON by Gerritsen. Literary? WHEN THE ELEPHANTS DANCE by Holthe. Fun mystery? THE SPELLMANS by Lutz. Paranormal Romance? THE ACCIDENTAL DEMON SLAYER By Fox. Thriller? Anything by Coben or Baldacci.<BR/><BR/>Also, I just talked my husband into reading TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. Of course, he loved it.Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333494452915600562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5817248340630521543.post-58409678882846083312009-01-10T08:33:00.000-08:002009-01-10T08:33:00.000-08:00Janna, I don't want to scare you off.

My husband has kept trying to push on me INFERNO by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle so I might finally start reading it.
