Bookaholic
I am an absolute book-aholic. I love to read. Last year after reading "Angry Housewives Eating Bonbons" -a book about a book club! - I started a book club for just a couple girlfriends. We've read some great books this last year (The Birth House, Time Travelers Wife...) and I'm excited to see what we'll discover this year. When I went to Costco the other day to pick up this month's book ("A Year of Living Biblically" - looks funny!) I didn't find it - but did find two others I snagged for our trip next week. I've already read one though - "The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen". I am such a Jane Austen fan. Pride & Prejudice being my all time fave. This new book is a novel - I had to keep reminding myself that it was a novel and not a biography. It was a great read - blending the feel and storyline of all the great Austen novels into one fictional story of Jane Austen herself. I'm sure I'll have others to recommend as time goes on! If you have any book suggestions - would love to hear them!

As far as non-fiction, the best book I've read in a long time is Marley and Me. It's fantastic - I laughed and cried, my whole family has read it (husband, parents, grandparents) and everyone enjoyed it. It's also good if you've ever had a dog - you can relate a bit more.
For fiction, I actually have read a bit of Stephen King lately and some of his books are good, but not everyone likes that much gore.
For Christian fiction, Karen Kingsbury is my new favorite author. She writes more modern stuff than a lot of Christian authors and I've cried in every one of her books. The other author I like is Lori Wick, and although I've sort of outgrown her I have a few favorites still: The Princess, Pretense, Bamboo and Lace, Sophie's Heart. I also love Frank Peretti's stuff.
Hope you find some good stuff this year!
Marley & ME - will have to try it!!
On my list is...
-To Kill A Mockingbird (read it in high school and loved it - but don't remember it too much now)
-Memory Keepers Daughter
-History of Love
-Year of Living Biblically (looks funny)
-and one Carolynn lent me - Shacked? I can't remember it's an "S" title.
I am also bringing along Bruxy's "End of Religion" just in case. And the new Rangefinder magazine!
