I read Pride & Prejudice every year as well as To Kill a Mockingbird, but would also highly recommend Where's my Cow by Terry Pratchett for your littleone.

I've been trying to expand my horizons and paint lately so I am enjoying the book "Creative Paint Workshop for mixed-media artists". Lots of great pictures!! Dawn H

I have a tie for current favorites... Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen and The Secret Life of Bees by by Sue Monk Kidd.
Both of these books have such an engaging story line and interesting characters. WAter for Elephants made me want to research the old circus train life and all that entailed.
Love reading all the other recommendations...I am addicted to finding good novels.

Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq's Green Zone by Rajiv Chandrasekaran
This is an amazing account about the US involvement in Iraq beginning in 2003.

I read A Homemade Life by Molly Wizenberg, after having been an Orangette and Gourmet fan for some time, and thought it was amazing. I love the foodie/bio/cookbook genre!

One of my favorite books right now is Kushiel's Mercy. It is the last of six books in the Kushiel line by Jacqueline Carey and is one of the most enjoyable last books in a long series I've read in a very long time.

Right now I'm reading The Middle Place by Kelly Corrigan. I'm about halfway through it and can't put it down. She has an amazing talent and is a very courageous woman. She's my new superhero!

I agree with a lot of the books already mentioned. Two new ones that I just read and really enjoyed are Very Valentine - Adriana Trigiani and Love Mercy - Earlene Fowler. Both very good!

Right now my favorite is the collection of short stories that I am currently reading, "Tongues of Flame" by Mary Ward Brown. I grew up in the same town as she did and her daughter-in-law taught me Geography but I had never read her stories. The are are so descriptive I can feel the Southern air, smell the dirt roads and taste the flavors she writes about...and it all makes me long to go home to Alabama.

currently reading the twilight series - I can't read it fast enough! But one of my favorites is The Stand by Stephen King. Classic tale of good and bad.

There are so many wonderful books out there. One of my favorites is the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. It is made up of Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber, Voyager, Drums of Autumn, The Fiery Cross and A Breathe of Snow and Ashes.
My problem is that when I get involved in a book I do not want to do anything else but read, read, read.

Right now it's a tie between Animal Vegetable Miracle and Love Eat Pray. Both were very inspiring in very different ways!

I would love to be entered in the contest. My favorite book is The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks

The Independence of Miss Mary Bennet ... this is a sequel to Pride and Prejudice but is written by Colleen McCullough...very good

Right now I'm reading Crazy Love, and so far I'm loving it!

My favorite book is The CHristmas Pearle By Dorethea Benton Frank. I love all her books and have read everyone! She just pulls you in and you just feel like you are right there. She writes about the Lowcountry and beaches!

Mine's a throwback that I just love to read and reread again and again. Charlotte's Web by EB White.
Reading through the previous list I realized there are a bunch that i've read and loved, too. There are also a bunch that i'm going to be adding to me NEED TO READ list.
Great Q today, Ali!
