About meHi!! My name is Lora, I am a 30 year old mother of 3 growing boys, I have a wonderful husband, and work full time as a Nurse in a local communtiy hospital. My sons, Keegan (7), Dalton (4), and Caden (1) are my reasons for everything, they are my sun in the morning and my good night kiss at the end of a long day. My husband Todd and I have been married for 7 years, and I am looking forward to spending the rest of our days together. I love my job....I work on the labor and delivery floor, and feel blessed that I can be a part of so many families happy days. There is nothing sweeter than cuddling a brand new baby. So when do I have time to read? I find time, books are my sanity at the end of a long day, or my friend in the middle of a very long 12 hour midnight shift, and especially the best companion in a bubble bath. I love to read all different kinds of books, I am trying very hard to branch out to new authors and would love any suggestions:)

About my libraryI have just started adding books to Library Thing...and I must say I am ADDICTED. Although I still have many shelves to add I have found the process enjoyable. Looking through all the books that I have read is almost like visiting a long lost friend. Not only do I have the memories of the books, but also the memories of what I was doing at the time in my life. All of the books in my library I own, most of them I have read, there are a few that still I still "NTR" (need to read...although it is more fun buying new books than reading the heaps I have sitting next to my bed:) I have not added any books to library thing that I would like to read...I think that I will keep that seperate. YEAH LIBRARY THING:)

Noticed you liked She's Come Undone, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also about a disturbed young girl's downward spiral and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Thanks,

Lora, I think you'll like Water for Elephants. It's really well written and a page turner at the same time. I'm actually a little sad I re-released it into the BookMooch world. It's hard to know what to keep and I'm always greedy for points -- despite having way too many books on my TBR pile!

Anyway, thought I'd just pop over and say hello since it's been awhile.
I think the Alice series is great! I started reading them in elementary school and the author is still coming out with more books, and every couple of years they get republished with fresh new covers (their actually coming out with all new covers in Sept.)

I was always really shy growing up and hated talking to my parents about personal stuff, so the Alice books were great because as I grew up, Alice in the books did too and we were dealing with similar problems. I work the kids section of a bookstore and I am always recommending the alice books, because there's something for everyone! you can either start at the very beginning of the series when alice is in elementary school, or you can start off when alice is the same age as yourself. Each book is roughly 6 months (so either the school year or the summer of alice's life) so you can start wherever you like and keep reading from there. Seeing as how the author starting writing the series in 1984, i really don't think she's going to stop anytime soon!!!
Thanks for stopping by my 50 book challenge thread. Go ahead and use the book cover idea. I am very visual, too. I like to scroll down and see them all. I have not read So B. It yet, but it is still on my list. I hope you like the third Twilight book. I liked it much better than the second.
I saw your comment in the Read YA lit blog about "So B. It." I love that book too. One of my favorites from last year!
Wow, your Bookmooch wishlist looks A LOT like my bookmooch wishlist!
The two John Green books are fantastic, he has a new one coming out soon, Paper Towns. Audrey, Wait was also fantastic.
I have one of the Gail Giles on your wishlist - Dead Girls don't write letters. I hated it, so I don't want to keep it. I'll try to get my daughter to read it so I can post it for you. (and I usually love her, Shattering Glass is great - I use it to teach plot pacing.)

My daughter read Before I die and loved it, I haven't gotten to it yet. She also loved 13 Blue Envelopes. She's also read the Georgia Nichols books up to Away Laughing on a Fast Camel. If you like the Nichols books you might try the Sue Limb books - The first one is Girl, 15 Charming but Insane.

Susan Beth Pfeffer has a follow-up book to Life as We Knew It. The name escapes me, but it's on my WL. (there's a few "adult" books on my WL, but mostly it's YA/Teen)
