Wednesday Sponsor Giveaways: Studio Calico, Shabby Straps, Simplify 101, & Songbird Ave

Reading this list has given me some great book recommendations! Thanks! At the moment I really enjoy The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks. I of course was also obsessed with the Twilight series, but that was just a phase ;). Great ideas for future reads from this question!!

My book collection includes a lot of historical fiction...especially by Phillipa Gregory. I just finished "The Boleyn Inheritance." It was fantastic!

One book I enjoyed recently was Jodi Picoult's The Pact. It's about a teenage suicide pact (not the happiest of subjects I know), but as a high school teacher, I found the charaters and the story line to be riveting.

Awesome giveaways girl! :) I'm still trying to get through the Twilight series - not much time to read these days! :)

My latest favorite is Annie Freeman's Fabulous Traveling Funeral by Kris Radish. It is a great story of women celebrating their friend's life and learning more about their own in the process. Love her books, they all have great titles:Dancing Naked at the Edge of Dawn, The Sunday List of Dreams, and another favorite Searching for Paradise in Parker PA.

Oooh, books! I think "Rebecca" is my "older favorite" and "The Time Traveler's Wife" is my "new favorite". I could list about 100 of my "Top Books", though!

An excellent book I've read recently is "Infidel" by Ayan Hirsi Ali - this is a memoir written by a woman who has led the most incredible life, and she's only a couple of years older than me (37)!! Amazing to have led a life like hers.

I know they aren't literary masterpieces, but the Twilight series is at the top of my list right now.

Too many favorites to pick just one. I just finished Loving Frank by Nancy Horan. It is the story of the turn-of-the century love affair between Frank Lloyd Wright and Mamah Borthwick Cheney. It is a well researched and well written piece of historical fiction that examines early feminism and idealized love vs. love of family.

I have a number of favorite books. I love to read and frequently have 3 or 4 books going at once. Two of my recent favorites are the Harry Potter series and the Twilight series.

Love Walked In by Marisa de los Santos. I love that book!! The chapter points of view alternate between the two main characters, one a woman and the other a pre-teen. I would highly recommend and it is an easy read too =)

One of my favorite books is The Choice by Nicholas Sparks. My baby's current favorite is The Foot Book.

The best book that I have read recently would be The House at Riverton by Kate Morton. Just loved it and it has stuck with me for quite awhile now. I wish someone would make this book into a movie!

My favorite book right now is Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. It's a must read!

I don't read a lot of books but magazines, and creative Memories is my favorite. I can always go back and get ideas for my projects and scrapbooking, always with a twist to personalize it.

I keep on my bookcase 'You can be happy no matter what' by Robert Carlson. I AM a very happy person but this book is a gentle reminder that teaches us to look at things differently - not beat ourselves up over the small things and to accept the here and now.

I read the"The Shack" by William Young about six months ago, (going to read again) there is a lot of messages in this book. Not to sound sappy but I had a real sense of peace when I finished the book. It is a great book for book clubs. I just finished "The Lady Elizabeth" by Alison Weir a good fast read about Elizabeth I early years it is fiction based on historical facts.

I'm addicted to the Twilight series, but one of my more traditional favorites is "Crossing to Safety" by Wallace Stegner.

Love You Forever by Robert Munsch.
Yes it's a kid book but it warms everyone's heart...

My favorite book is Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls.
