I've run out of reading material and every book i've picked up in the last two weeks has bored me to death. I would like something geared toward adults (I'm 36) and jusst for entertainment. Nothing too serious. I like fantasy (loved the Belgaraid series and most of Ann Rices stuff), sci fi, mysteries (tess gerritsen type books) and historic romance - not the sex type romance books, but more along the lines of Victoria Holt.
Any suggestions?Can you suggest some good books to read?
