Wow, lovesitx, you've got a task ahead of you. Are the True Love books long? Are you a speed reader? :D
I haven't read any of them: I'm reading a lot of the Jodi Picoult books now, having enjoyed the film preview of 'My Sister's Keeper' recently. Gripping and very emotive.

They are about 300 pages a book so it is probably possible but as long as i have read the first few before it starts i'll be ok.

I love Marian Keyes' books. They are just down to earth, but very funny! Although they are quite long, I rattle through them very quickly!

I have gone lazy... I am probably one of a very few that found Twilight a bit on the boring side but after seeing the trailer for "New Moon" I have decided to give it a go.. however I have opted for my first ever audio book... so far its not too bad.. (Must get back to Jack Reacher or the boyf will not be too impressed... especially after we named our puppy bulldog Reacher)

I'm at chapter 28 of the new Dan Brown. it's more or less what you've probably expected so not a enlightend read, but still very good fun.

LOL His chapters are ridiculously short. I'm on chapter 5 after reading for about 15 minutes (and I am slow reader). He does give me a false sense of achievement in speed reading. I did start it 1am last night so I fell asleep before getting too far...
