I know there are other books that have been favorites or I've really liked, but can't remember them all. If you know I've left some out, let me know!
If you have a chance, you should join goodreads at www.goodreads.com. It's a great social networking place where you can list all the books you've read and give them reviews and ratings, list the books you are currently reading, and books that you want to read. You get your friends on there too, and then you find other books that you would want to read or you might have forgotten about. It's great!
This is a super long post. I hope you enjoyed seeing some of my favorite books. I'd love to know which books are your favorite!
Happy Reading and Happy Friday!

Lisa I love this blog you have. I would have a hard time thinking of my favorite books, because whatever I am reading at the moment is always my favorite for that moment.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I wish I knew who this was....???
ReplyDeleteYou are a reading fool...(lol). I wish I can say I've read that much. You are an inspiration to me - to keep reading. Thanks for sharing. ~Deb
ReplyDeleteWow- that was cool. We have so many of the same books that we love. And we have had some good talks about them as well. However- it never seems like we are reading them at the same time. Or if I recommend one- you have not read it. And vice versa.
ReplyDeleteBut I guess that is what making a recommendation is all about right?
