I just finished Charles Frazier's (Cold Mountain) Thirteen Moons. He has a gift for crafting sentences that appeal to all your senses and put you in the story. I liked Cold Mountain better, but this one is a worthwhile read, especially for those who love Cherokee history. Right now I am in the middle of Thunder and Blood by Hampton Sides. It is a gripping non-fiction piece about the American West from 1846 to 1868. His real life people read like characters in an exciting fiction novel. Kit Carson comes to life with all his strengths and his weaknesses. So do Fremont and Kearney. Sides does a nice job developing the Navajo people and their side of this sad story. Nice read for someone who wants some excitement mixed in with actual history. In fact, history comes to life in this book--worth the read.

I just finished a couple of non-fiction, biolgraphical works that were intensely interesting: Max Wolf Valerio's "The Testosterone Files: My Societal and Hormonal Transition from Female to Male" and Eric Spitznagel's "Fast Forward: Confessions of a Porn Screenwriter". The first was very poetic, gorgeous, and insightful, and the latter very, very funny and light reading, but with a good message.

For the holidays I read 2 books - the Christmas Blessing and the Christmas Hope by Donna VanLiere. She wrote the Christmas Shoes book and both of these books are part of the series.
If you like drama & suspense - Cross by James Patterson was pretty good.

I enjoyed the alternate history of the first world war, written by Harry Turtledove. He does a great job with bringing the characters to life, there like my second family

I just finished the last book in Mary Janice Davidson's Undead series. Cute-sy, but perfect for someone just coming out of finals mode.
