Can you please name ANY book that you would recommend?? I'm looking for some new things to read! =)?

Name anything. List, or just one...whatever you want to do. I just want something good...and something to buy tomorrow.

I'm getting Tori Spelling's two books, and I want to get a couple others to have after I read those. I HAVE A LOT here, but I always love picking up something new to read. I'm into pretty much everything...

My fave author is Stephen King and I like anything like his, and even random books that are nothing like his. Just something good that you would recommend for me. THANKS!! =D

    "The Grant County Series, by Karin Slaughter"

    It's a series of books about a pediatrician/coroner, Dr. Sara Linton, of a small town in Georgia. She comes across brutal crimes, and as a coroner, she has to work with her ex husband (though that kind of changes as the series go), the county's sheriff, Jeffrey Tolliver, and troubled detective Lena Adams. The characters are compelling, the crimes and suspense are bone chilling.

    "Don't Tell, I'm Watching You, Nothing to Fear, You Can't Hide and Count to Ten, by Karen Rose."

    It's a series of romantic suspense novels that happen in Chicago, in which characters alternate from being main to secondary (the main character of one book is secondary in the others). Karen Rose builds characters like no one else, they're endearing, lovable, you wish they were your friends, your family, your neighbors. The plots are creative and original and the romance makes you drool.

    "The Predator Series" and "The No Evil" Series, by Allison Brennan"

    Two interwined series of romantic suspense novels by Allison Brennan. The books are technical, the plots are creative, the characters are likable. The technicalities and forensics give the books a distinguished trait.

    "The BulletCatchers series, by Roxanne St. Claire"

    A series of romantic suspense novels about body guards that will go to hell and back to protect their subjects. St. Claire's clear and fluent writing, plus her fascinating characters and hot, steamy romance, make her books amazing reads.

    "The Buchanan Brothers Series, by Julie Garwood"

    It's a series of romantic suspense novels about law enforcement brothers, who end up in cases in which they have to protect a women -- that end up turning out to be someone they could be close to. While the plot seems generally stereotypical, Garwoord's humor is unique -- her books are absolutely hilarious and her characters find themselves in situations you wouldn't believe.

    The Jane Rizzolli/Maura Isles Series, by Tess Gerritsen"

    A series of psychological Thrillers like it's never been done before. Gerritsen gets in the mind of psychopath killers like no one else. Her books are creepy, fascinating. Her characters deep and compelling. Her prose fabulous.

    "The Shopaholic Series, by Sophie Kinsella"

    If you're looking for a light read, this is the perfect choice. The series is about the life of a woman who, obviously, is addicted to shopping. This gets her in all sorts of troubles and she has to figure out some creative ways of getting out of them. The characters are hilarious, comforting, human. Romantic comedy doesn't get any better than this!

    Can you tell I'm a *little* obsessed with these books?

  • Well, I've always been a really big reader. My favorite books of all time are the Harry Potter novels, which pretty much everyone has read, but I have to say that I never get tired of them, no matter how many times I've read them.

    The Lincoln Lawyer, by Michael Connelly, is a great read. It's a mystery novel I really enjoyed.

    My favorite books to read are biographys and memoirs, I always find them really interesting. As you might expect, I'm really into wrestling biographies. The books by Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho, Eric Bischoff, Ted Dibiase and all three of Mick Foley's were excellent. Batista's book sucked.

    I also read Ring of Hell, which is the story of Chris Benoit's life and death, and it was one of the most powerful and compelling books I've ever read. I know that it's sad, but if you're looking for one of the most informative and well researched reads of your life, that's the book for you.

    The Death of WCW was great as well. It tells the story of the rise and fall of WCW and all of the key players involved throughout. There's great stories in there about all the controversial moments and stuff that the public didn't know about.

    I don't know if you're into sports besides wrestling, but George, the bio of Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, was really interesting. The Yankee Years, by Joe Torre was awesome (To quote Frank from LOST: I bleed Yankee blue). Yogi, Yogi Berra's bio, was great as well.

    In boxing, I really liked In This Corner by Angelo Dundee. He's the greatest trainer in boxing history and he has some tremendous stories about Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard and much more.

    Outside of memoirs, I'm really into the history of Las Vegas at the moment. The Battle for Las Vegas was a terrific book, and so was When the Mob ran Vegas. There's some pretty interesting stuff that went on back then.

    Binary options let users trade in currency pairs and stocks for various predetermined time-periods, minimal of which is 30 seconds. Executing trades is straightforward. The system uses user-friendly interfaces, which even an 8 years old kid, can operate without having to read any instructions. But winning trades is Not easy.

    Binary trading is advertised as the only genuine system that lets users earn preposterous amounts of money in ridiculously short period of time. Advertisers try to implicate as if you can make $350 every 60 seconds; if it was true then binary trading would truly be an astonishing business.

    However, does it make any sense? Can every trader make tons of money in binary trading? Who is actually paying all the money or the profit to traders?

    The first challenge is finding a trustworthy binary broker; secondly, you need to find a binary trading strategy, which you can use to make profits consistently. Without an effective trading strategy, there is no way you can make money in this business.

    Learning a profitable trading strategy is possible, You should watch this presentation video https://tr.im/16635

    It's probably the best way to learn how to win with binary option
