What is your favorite book?

I love Sue Grafton's alphabet murder series. Nothing like a quick fun read about a strong lady who outwits the bad guys! They go quickly and are entertaining.

I also love anything by Maeve Binchy. Something about her Irish stories relaxes me. I'm off to read the rest of this suggestion list!

Thank you for starting this thread! I'll visit a bookstore tomorrow and see if i can get all 4 of the Twilight series to read a few days after surgery but re-read the Anne McCaffery books i got out of storage while my concentration isn't all that great.

My mom had a wonderful sense of humor and got me a bookmark that said, "I'm a novel lover, but i'm booked tonight."

I have to agree with the Twilight series too... I hate the movies but LOVE the books. Also, on another note, when you are bored and want to laugh, get on mylifeisaverage.com or fmylife.com....both really funny!

I'll second the books Evangelina posted! I am also a big fan of the "Harry Potter" series and those will be at my bedside for sure. I have always loved Jimmy Buffett's story-telling in his songs, so it was no surprise that his books are fun adventures too- I loved "Where is Joe Merchant?" and "A Pirate Looks at Fifty". Those are easy to just lose yourself in, and his children's stories are really good too.
What a great idea for a thread- y'all have inspired me to check out some new reading material!

Just about anything by Elizabeth Berg. I especially liked the Pull of the Moon, Anita Shreve is great and I've really enjoyed Barbara Delinsky.

I'm currently reading the "Twilight" series....loving it!
Also love the "Left Behind" series. Fern Michaels is good.

The Shack

The Shack is amazing. It really had me thinking. However,
I caution that it is religion-based so if that's not your thing or if it would offend you, now is probably not the time to read it. :wink:

I totally forgot to mention that and now that you posted, I hope it is okay that I posted the name of that book. It was just so different.

I also love the Janet Evanovich, Stephanie Plum, series, James Patterson anything and lots of other mystery type stuff.

Favorite book.... humm... can't pick just one.

Lots of great authors have already been mentioned. Here are a few more.

If you like mystery try Susan Witig-Albert or Sarah Andrew.

Crafty? Try Maggie Sefton's Knitting series or Jennifer Chiaverini's Quilting series.

Romance/Fantasy? Shana Abe - the Thief series - mega original

Laura Childs - The Teashop Mysteries - very easy reading.

Janyne Ann Krentz - just released a new series - lots of fun

Dianne Setterfield - The Thirteenth Tale - mysterious all round good read - no. 1 on my book list for 2009

Happy reading all,
