Comments:
Was "Cell" good?

Mine are up!
 
I don't think I'd wanna read 4 book at once... my mind couldn't keep up LOL! ;) My 13 is up :) Happy Easter.
 
Ah, glad to see there is another who has a mountain of books to tackle. I haven't even heard of any of those! Though I love Dave Barry and may have to check that book out.

Thanks for visiting my 13.

Happy Easter.
 
Isn't Dave Barry so funny! :) Let me know if you like Wicked the book. I've heard mixed reviews, but loved Wicked the Broadway show.
 
Nice! I loved Wicked and Confessions. I want to read Lovely Bones, but I already know it is so sad!
 
Oh my - I have not one book you have listed...Thanks for stopping by My Lighter Side (can't change the blog idenity on your comment - I have two blogs *grin*)
 
The only one of them that I've read was On Writing by Stephen King. My TT is up.
 
I read "The Lovely Bones", but I've heard of several of these. I just wish I could find a few minutes more everyday to read novels. I have my nose stuck in history or faith-based lit most of the time. So many books...so little time.
 
I read Lovely Bones and enjoyed it. I am reading Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil right now. How was Cell?
 
Did you like Wicked? The ending left me hanging and I was ticked.
Guess I better read the rest of his books. People tell me they tie up loose ends.
 
You have a great taste in books!
 
Read #1, loved it and #10..Mcguire's work is great! Gotta read "Son of a Witch!" It's really good!!

I have "Mirror, Mirror" and "Lost" on my nightstand waiting in line to be read, also by him.

Happy Thursday, My 13 is up!
 
I've been wondering if your #1 on the list is any good. I'll have to check it out now that I know of somebody who has read it.

Thanks for stopping by my TT. Happy Thursday!
 
that's a lot of books that I have yet to read --- but now will be checking out

Reading 4 books at a time? Wow!
 
I read constantly, everywhere, any place!
Thanks for the heads up!
The incident of the dog is great!
My TT
 
I didn't know Wicked was a book! I'll have to check that one out :) Thanks for stopping by!
 
Great 13! I just finished "House" by Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker! Thanks for stopping by my 13!
 
Oh man! I wish I could finish DaVinci Code that I started in, oh, 2003! LOL Someday....

Thanks for visiting my TT!
 
How on earth can you read that many at once? I have one sitting there collecting dust, and have a hard time surfing all the blogs I want to surf!

Dang - you're good.

Happy Easter to you!! xoxo
