Awesome prizes Ali! I love songbird...off to pick that kit up soon!

Atonement and Water for Elephants - two of my most favorite books ever! :)

I just finished reading "The Friday Night Knitting Club" by Kate Jacobs which I really enjoyed. It inspired me to start knitting again!

book that I recommend is "crazy sexy cancer" by kris carr. I love it! it is full of information, recipes and a little splash of humor. ciao!

The Red Tent, 1000 White Women, Queen, Miracle at St. Anna, The Phantom, and Mila 18. These are some of my favoirtes, but what is yours?

My favorite book so far has been "A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. I have never read a book that has moved me the way this book has. I laughed, I cried, I rooted for characters and I hated characters. Mostly, it made me realize how lucky I am to live in a country where freedom is a right. I highly recommend this book.

I really love "Angela's Ashes" by Frank McCourt. It is a favorite of mine.

What a great giveaway!
Thanks!

My favorite fiction book is always whatever I am reading at the moment. But one book I pick up over and over again is Raising Your Spirited Child. It's helped me so much, and I usually don't like parenting books at all.

I just finished "These is My Words" and loved it.
Thanks for the great giveaway!

Hi KellyM, I read that too and found it quite interesting. Do you know of any other books about sensory disorders? I am in the process of getting that diagnosis for my son as well...

A book I go back to time and time again is The Kind of Love That Saves You by Amy Yurk. It never fails to make me laugh, cry, and appreciate loved ones more than ever.

I have three favorites that I turn to again and again. One is "The Velveteen Rabbit." It is a children's story but has a great message for all of us about the nature of love. Number two is "Mitten Strings for God." It is not a religious book, but a book about mothering and slowing down to enjoy each ordinary day. Number three is "Gift from the Sea." Written many years ago, but so relevant to women today it speaks to the need for solitude and reflective time.

Hands down '100 years of solitude' by Garcia Marquez. 'Don Quixote' is a close second.

.....Wow funny you should ask this, a friend had insisted I need to read Handle with Care by Jodi Picoult, UGH it has hit close to home. It is a great read for ANYONE but it has brought light to my relationship with my 15 yr old and a 3 yr old with collapsing back.
I am looking forward to the release of The Horse Boy!
Thank you for the opportunity to win something great...love the camera straps!

Tales of a Female Nomad.
Made me want to drop everything and just go....

Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers is a must-read!

I love to read but things are busy as always and I have not picked up anything to read other than scrapbook magazines and reading for work (early childhood instructor).
A Year in Provence was a favorite as were the sequels.

I love to read, but haven't taken the time to read anything new lately. I shamelessly love the Harry Potter series as well as the Chronicles of Narnia. Both are thought provoking (if you want them to be) as well as great escapes. Thanks for the opportunity!

Really into the Twilight series right now but one of my all time faves is My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picult.
