I love reading! No, it's not the reason I became a librarian, but it's a definite perk that I'm surrounded by people who love reading. All of us have our own tastes in books and share our opinions with each other and there are way too many books to read. I have many discussions with friends concerning books and am always being told, oh, you should read this one next. I love it!
I squabble on Goodreads with several friends. Kay, my romance guru has a wonderful blog, where she reviews books. Delia and I read most of her recommendations and discuss them. Becky, Erin, and I have lively discussions concerning books we are reading. We even enticed Dawne to read one of our recommendations after a lunch conversation. Janssen critiques books on her blog that I've debated reading (I've placed Hunger Games on hold after the last review of the sequel). Michelle recently mentioned an audio book she is reading. I don't particularly like audio books, but after we discussed the original book and movies it's spawned, I decided I would try the audio version. Michelle said the reader is amazing. So I picked up Frank Herbert's Dune and can understand why Michelle wants to drive around town listening to the book. The guy is amazing.
So does anyone else have any recommendations of book discussions, blogs, or just books, in general? Have I covered all that we enjoy?

So many books, so little time!
Are you going to read all of Dune? Don't watch the crappy movie...the one with Sting in it. There was a TV version that was a lot better. I've heard a lot of good things about the Bronze Horseman by Paulina Simons. Also, have you ever read any of Georgette Heyers stuff?
Don't you just love talking about books? I'm fortunate to have several book fiends as friends.
L- We have to find another series for our group still.
K- You had me read Georgette during the Romance Readers Advisory group. I was iffy on her, but you are still my guru, which is why I respect your opinion of my work so much. :)
I love the Sting version of Dune. I'm sorry, but Sting in leather, sigh. The tv version, the one on Sci-fi a few years ago? That was a great version, better than the Sting one. It's the one I highly recommend as well.
J- Love discussing books. I spend a little too much time focused on discussing the choices the characters make.
