I just read Black Swan Green by David Mitchell and really enjoyed it. One of my favorite authors of all times is Fay Weldon - I love anything by her.

I just read Bright Lights, Big Ass. It was a funny little novel talking about how different big city life is from Sex in the City's portrayal of it! A quick read, but really funny. It's by Jen Lancaster.

My favorite book is Evidence Not Seen by Darlene Deibler Rose. It is the story of a young missionary bride who goes to New Guinea with her husband just prior to WWII. They are taken prisoner when the war breaks out. The book is her personal story of her faith in God in the midst of great despair. It truly changed me!

I recently read Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon and loved it. It's one of my favorites now and I would recommend it to anyone.

My favorite book is the Bible and second fave is first things first.

I am currently reading My Antonia by Willa Cather. I've had it for years and finally picked it up. It is very good!

I like any of the Jodi Picoult books.

I a just now reading for about the 10th time...Gone With the Wind. It has alway been one of my favorites. I think I keep hoping that the ending will change!

I just finished a book I loved called The Elegance of the Hedgehog, by Muriel Barbery. I loved the characters and what a good story, told in an interesting way.

I absolutely LOVED Baby Wise and Baby Wise II. I read the first one just before my daughter was born and again with my husband just after she was born so that we would both be on the same page with our system.. By following their recommendations, my daughter slept through the night for the first time when she was two and a half months old (it also happened to be Mother's Day!).

Oh my, pick just 1! Well if I had to pick just one it would be Agatha Christie "And then there were none", but it also went by the other name, "Ten Little Indians". Must dig it out again, Happy April 1st everyone. Maybe the snow will start melting here soon?

These are all great giveaways!
One of my goals for 2009 was less TV and more reading, so far I'm at 37 books for the year. My faves so far have been the "House of Night" series by PC Cast. They are young adult novels and were recommended by a friend that knows I like Twilight. They are VERY different from Twilight, but I'm hooked.
My fave grown-up book was "Freakin Fabulous" by Clinton Kelly. Love him on what not to wear :)

Soo many comments by now - I hope to be one of the lucky ones :-)
A book I can recommend is by Stieg Larsson "Men who hates women"

It's been months since I read a book. I just can't seem to find the time or energy since my little guy was born. However, we are enjoying reading "I'll See You In The Morning" by Mike Jolley and Mique Moriuchi to him. It's such a cute story and I love the illustrations. :)

I love these comments. I'm going to look up "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo".
I book I highly recommend is "The Kite Runner". Besides a powerful narrative and story, the concept of "stealing" has really stuck with me.

Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice.
:)

I just finished American Wife and recommend it.

"These is My Words." I don't know if I have a favorite (I love too many), but it's good.

If I had to pick just one it would be Agatha Christie's "And then there were none" which also went by the name "Ten little Indians", because of the nursery rhyme. Wow, must dig that out again soon. Happy April 1st everyone, hopefully our snow will start melting now.

I really enjoyed reading Wally Lamb's "She's Come Undone" and this other one was somewhat depressing but I had a hard time putting it down. It's called "I Know This Much Is True" also by Wally Lamb. I lent my copy out to two other people who also thought it was a good book.
