I love the Stephanie Plum books. I wish she could write as fast as I can read!!!!

Three of my all time favorite books are The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak, Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay and Evidence of Things Unseen by Marianne Wiggins. The last one is one of my top 5 books I've ever read. The other two take place in World War II.

I am reading "Lover's Knot"--forget the author. It is based on quilting and very fast read--half way done in one afternoon. I am waiting on a book from Amazon for my book club and our meeting is Wed. I will have to be a fast read or fake it--I have read the book already but long time ago. Kooklabell, thank you for the Lover's Knot.

I loved "The Help"--best book of last year for me.

I LOVE the "Book Thief" and "Sarah's Key" !!!!! Now I will have to look for "Evidence of Things Unseen"!!

The Help is next on my list, waiting for my co-worker to finish it, then it's my turn with the book.

I can't speak for Quiltnut but I loved it! It really wasn't what I expected. I bought it when it first came out and thought it would be a predictable but comfortable read. Boy, was I wrong! It's very intense. I read it in 2 nights, staying up way later than I should. I can see this becoming a classic.

I'm currently reading "Let the Right One In" by John Ajvide Lindqvist. I've got two Dennis Lehane books lined up next; "Shutter Island and Mystic River". I'm also reading "Power Surge: Six Marks of Discipleship for a Changing Church" by Michael W. Foss. I'm on my church council and we're working through it as a group.

Has any read "Water for Elephants"? That is a great book too!

I just finished "The Shack" by Wm Paul Young. If you like books that dwell into the existence of God you must read this. Hard to put down. Before that i read all the Harry Potter books because of the insistence of my DGD. Not very far into the first one I was hooked. LOL Don't know what is next.
