Sometimes we good girls(and boys) fall in love with really trashy(i.e. BAD) books. Oprah can have her respectible book club, but I love action adventure romance novels. Honestly, I really crave the paranormal romance novels. I used to be really embarrassed about it, but I found out I am not alone. Not by a long shot.

So here is my current recommendation list for bad book enthusiasts just like me. Down below my favorites is a list of books I have been told I must read next. Add your favorites to the list by sending me an email Susan@wbnq.com

Jessica added: Stephane Plum series by Janet evanovich.
Stephanie is a cool bounty hunter who is stuck between two loves
and her cars are always getting blown up or destroyed. Great hilarious series!

Penny added:Kerrelyn Sparks --They are trashy vampire love stories. 
My friends and I LOVED them!(Susan enjoyes Ms. Sparks style)

Juanita says:My son enjoys the Darren Shan series and Cirque de freak and he Demon series. 
The other new ones are the Hunter series by Suzanne Collins. Only two in that series. 
 
Andrea added:J.R. Ward -- Black Dagger Brotherhood novels. They are SO GOOD!
I seriously recommend them. I read the ENTIRE 434 page book in LESS than 2 days.
(Susan inhaled these..Excellent!)

Nikki Added:Jonathan Kellerman-- Rage, or any of his books- Murder/Mystery

Becca added:Diana Gabaldon--Outlander Series.(You do have to read them in order! 7 so far) 

Becky added:Christine Warren's "The Others" series. 
"This series pretty much has everything from the supernatural world from vampire and werewolf's to demons and fairies and the complications of unveiling themselves to humans.  Adults Only!!
AND
 Vampire Academy from Richelle Mead. 
I love this series there are currently 4 books out with the 5th due out in May.  I believe the author is planning for it to be a 6 book series.  I would actually say that I like this series better than Twilight and that is saying a lot!!!  Good for Teens and Adults!!
AND
Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare.  Now this is a good trilogy and suggested to me by my mother after I finished the Twilight Series.  They are good books but may turn some people off because of a plot twist...Just keep reading they are definately worth it!! Good for Teens and Adults!!

Anastasia added:

Keri Arthur- Riley Jenson Guardian Series.
It starts with Full Moon Rising so far there are 8 books.
Werewolves, vampire, everything! ADULTS ONLY
(susan now loves these too!)

Patricia Briggs- Mercy Thompson Series I think there are 4 in the series.

Kelley Armstrong- Women of the Otherworld series.

Kristi writes:   If you have books laying around try trading them on www.paperbackswap.com.   I have been using it for a couple of years now and it's a great way to get your books for free.   You only pay the postage when someone wants your books.

My dog Harley is the smartest dog at the end of my universe.
Over the weekend I found his list of resolutions.

Resolution #1: I will eat less and exercise more.
I don't think the old "I'm-just-big-boned" excuse will work anymore.
I resolve to bug my owner to take me out to the doggy park several times a week.

Resolution #2: I will beg less.
I've got begging down to a fine art -- she's putty in my paws --
but it sure is demeaning. I promise to reserve the begging for worthwhile things,
like going out to the park and T-bone steak.

Resolution #3: I'll stay out of the cat's litter box.
I vow to resist the urge to snoop around the cat's private lavatory
-- even though it's a lot of fun and really makes him go nuts.

Resolution #4: I'll introduce myself in more appropriate ways.
In other words, I'll focus above the waist when introducing myself to humans.

Resolution #5: I'll tolerate those homemade bandannas more.
My owner has gone to a lot of trouble to make these things,
so I'll just put up with the way they feel and the taunts of the other dogs.

Harley is a rescue dog that we adopted in October of 2008.
He will turn 2 years old in May of 2010 and currently weighs 120lbs.
People always ask about his weight. This dog is perfection on paws.

SUSAN PERSONAL STATS:  

HOBBIES: 
Cooking, Golfing, Movies and Travel with Suzi Davis!

FAVORITE TV SHOWS: 
Lost, The Tudors, Nip Tuck, True Blood, House, Weeds, Dexter

FAVORITE FOODS: 
Thai and Sushi

FAV WORDS OF WISDOM:  
Don't say anything on the radio that you wouldn't say to your Mom at dinner. 
(Good thing my Mother is pretty understanding!)

Would you believe I have been in radio for over 18 years now?
I have worked a variety day parts in multiple music and talk formats all over including
Madison WI., Rockford IL.,Sacramento CA., and for the past 12 years here at WBNQ.
What a blessing!

Born and raised on a small farm in Rochelle Illinois,
 I trained in music, theater, and speech team from childhood through college at Northern Illinois University. 

My childhood was filled with so many amazing moments,like when I was crowned National Little Miss Peanut and was invited to meet President Jimmy Carter! (He is a big peanut fan of course)

Or when I brought home the I.H.S.A. State Championship Medal for public speaking in high school. 
(Nope, I'm not on the Rochelle population sign, you have to run and jump for that apparently)

I also worked  in the music theater world for a bit. My biggest pro role-Petra in A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC, unpaid-Nellie in SOUTH PACIFIC. Being loud professionally is just a natural fit for me.

I began my radio career in Springfield while participating in the Illinois Governmental Internship Program.  The opportunity to "try out" a selected employment field is given to
advanced high-school students during their senior year.
I took the opportunity to explore the media world and
haven't left the industry since. I can't imagine doing anything else. 

The Matt Damon movie "The Informant"  was filmed right down the road in Decatur Illinois.
If you missed it in the theaters,check it out on DVD in February 2010.

In case you missed it the first time, here is the story of me trying to locate Matt Damon in Decatur.
