Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series
Kinda defies genre -- best described as a time travel historical romance but the whole is more than the sum of those parts. |

Off the top of my head...I finished Fannie Flagg's I Still Dream About You a couple of weeks ago. I always enjoy her books for something entertaining and not too heavy. I am also reading my way through Bryce Courtenay now. Loved Four Fires. Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly was pretty good, but I really loved her book "A Northern Light."--that's the one I would most highly recommend. Pat Conroy is my favorite. I'd recommend any of his books. I'll be thinking on this one! |
I'm impatiently waiting for Jean Auel's 6th book 'The Land of Painted Caves' to be published some time in 2011. I love her 'Earth's Children' series which began with 'Clan of the Cave Bear'. Can't wait :)

I love to read romantic mystery novels. I find it harder and harder to find a book to enjoy tho due to the explicit sex and gross use of the English language. Mary Higgins Clark and Carol are among my favorite authors.
|
I really enjoyed Sydney Portier's autobiography. Someone is borrowing it, so I don't remember the name of it.
|
Catherine Ritch Guess is another good author. I've read all her Miz Eudora Rumph books and they're hilarious! I laughed out loud and so hard I wiped tears.
|
If you haven't read "The Help" read it!!!!! Another one I just read for our book club is "The Christmas Pearl"...really a good book for the holidays...even though they're over it will still be a good read.
|
Also...the "Mitford Series" about an Episcopal priest...really good. And start with the ""Ladies of Covington"..there are 3 or 4 in the series but think that's the first one.
|
I've received Civil War Diary Quilt and Civil War Love Letter Quilt as gifts this year. Also received Homer's Oddysey (the story of a blind cat) and an e-book edition of Ken Follett's new book.
I read alot (at bedtime), and just finished A Single Thread. I have the second book in that series. I just have to figure which book I want to open first. |
