The Thirteenth Tale is what I am reading again. I LOVE the Jan Karon books. A great easy read, feel good series!

A laugh out loud book that will keep you rolling. I love this book - it is twisted.

The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse by Rankin

for sci-fi/fantasy lovers, "The Name Of The Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss is beyond extraordinarily incredible.

I am currently reading The Help by Katherine Stockett.

Next my book club is reading Water For Elephants.

I'm making my way through the Count of Monte Cristo (unabridged).

I love the classics when I don't have to study them. That always sucks the life out of the book...

Sounds like it's in the same vein as Monster by A. Lee Martinez

this is one of the last ones that I read. It's also twistedly funny.

Err... What I meant was:
Anthony Bourdain's book, Kitchen Confidential (his TV show is No Reservations..), and some of the wording is UNsavory... lol!

The books by Khaled Housseini are awesome- The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns.
I'm in the middle of Anthony Bourdain's book, No Reservations- I've liked it so far (be prepared for some savory words however!).
I have Water For Elephants as a 'next' book. My sister says it's wonderful.
I'm also reading The Latehomecomer by Kao Kalia Yang- it's a Hmong memoir. It's a great historical book on the Hmong people.
I've read a lot of Jodi Picoult books- they are very good.
Have fun!

I discovered Elizabeth Berg and Mary Alice Andrews this winter and can't
get enough of their writing. They are both excelllent writers.
