I have just finished reading The Angel's Cut by Elizabeth Knox. She is a Kiwi writer who also wrote The Vintner's Luck. It is about an angel whose wings have been cut off--and answers some of the questions raised in the first book. I loved it. A fun book is The Crowning Glory of Calla Lily Ponder (Rebecca Wells) who also wrote the Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood (I think that's the title). Hope you get inspired!
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society is a great read. I highly recommend it
Ok... I am a SAHM and I haven't picked up a book for me in a month! My two year old wants to read The Polar Express EVERYDAY! ;)
I loved reading the twilight saga, all 4 books.
I love the Twilight saga. Right now I'm reading The Travelers Wife by Audrey Niffenegger, I'm love it. :)
Ha,I'm guilty too! I agree Twilight saga!!! It's goooood!

my favorite book is the Catcher in the Rye .. . i re-read it every year! thanks for the chance!
I loved "Gone with the Wind" It was long and wonderful - loved every page!!!
I am such a voracious reader. All my life I've been miserable if I don't have a book to read. Anything by Karen Kingsbury is excellent reading, especially her 'Baxter' series. Currently, on my Kindle I have the two newest Patricia Cornwell books and Handle With Care by Jodi Picoult. Of course, anything by Nicholas Sparks or James Patterson is always a welcome read!
My favorite all-time book is "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" by Carson McCuller; however, I am absolutely STUCK on the Sookie series. I read all nine books in 6 weeks and absolutely can't wait for the next one due to come out in May. I just finished "Sleeping Arrangements" by Madeline Wickham, which was pretty good.
I'm actually re-reading Harvesting the Heart by Jodi Piccoult. I love this book.
Lately, I have started and not finished a lot of books. I love to read and just haven't found anything to keep my interest. I'll check out some of these recommendations. Right now, I am TRYING to read The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. I loved the other two books in this series so hopefully this one will be good too!
My favorite book is Emma, by Jane Austen. :)
"The Wet Nurse's Tale" - I read about it in "People" and picked it up on vacation as a treat. Found my self staying up late to finish it (as did my friends, who also read it).

I love "The blue nowhere" by Jeffrey Deaver. I love all his books- you should check him out!
I love Twilight saga and P. Coelho books!just gorgeous
For sure this one.. “The Kite Runner” from Khaled Hosseini. A beautiful book..Kisses Deca
have you ever heard of Stieg Larsson?? he has a Millenium trilogy, the books are kind of noir with suspense, well, I'm totally hooked by those books!!!
you should check this, for sure!

I just read (again!) Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. It is a Christian book based on the book of Hosea and is a powerful depiction of the love Christ has for us...no matter how much we fail Him.
I've just read "The Hunger Games" and its sequel, "Catching Fire". YA books, but good. Also really liked "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society".
My go-to read over and over books are still Harry Potter.
Well it will soon be #16 by Janet Evanovich!
The best book I've read in recent years (that wasn't a kids' book!) was The Secret Life of Bees. Outstanding!
I LOVE kid books and the Quiltmakers Gift is my favorite (and a quick read ;)) Thanks for the chance!
One of my favourite books from this past year was The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls - hard to believe it's non-fiction! Thanks for the chance to win and Happy Holidays :)
I loved The Kite Runner and am now reading My Sister's Keeper. Thanks for all the good book ideas everyone! Love Amanda's stuff.
I just finished "All the pretty girls" by JT Ellison it was awesome.

I love all of Jodi Picoult's books, (I've read all except the newest one).
I Love Amanda's designs!!! Thank you so much for the chance!! One of my all time favorite book is Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery.
My favorite book this year is People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks. Last years fav was Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell. This one is very different but totally intriguing. I had to restart it once as the beginning was a bit unusual. Stick with it and you will love it.
I'm reading the Twilight series right now. I'm on New Moon. Good reads. But I guess my fav is the Harry Potter books. Ok, I guess I like series.
There are so many great books out there!
JR Ward - Black dagger Brotherhood
Shayla Black - Wicked Ties
Christine Warren - One Bite with a Stranger.
Dan Brown- Angels & Demon
Sherrilyn Kenyon - Any
Adrian Phoenix - In the Blood, A
Rush of Wings
Shayla Black - her books are a bit steamy! They will have you blushing!
The Shack hands down is my favorite book because it has changed my life in so many ways and has also brought me to a dear friend!!! I totally recommend this book to everyone, pick up a copy today. OMG I did not mean to sound like an advertisement! LOL!!
Ok, I tweeted but not sure if this is the way to post the link or the right link. Hopefully this works.

A good read!! Gosh... I LOVE any type of reading. Parenting books, cook books, smut books (did I say that out loud?) heee hee Right now I am reading the Clan of the Cave Bear series.
hmm...well i did just read "your best birth" by ricki lake, and i highly recommend it to anyone who is going to have kids in the future!
This is an old book but I loved reading it and still think of and refer to it often. Clan of the Cave Bear. I liked how she interwove known sites, fossils and activities with the fictionalized story. And for me personally, one of the women was an herbalist healer and it was so interesting to read all of that.
I just have to say ' how funny'! After I posted I looked through some of the other posts and see Clan of the Cave Bear mentioned!! I would have never guessed that!!
I personally read a lot of young adult books...lol, so in addition to Twilight, one of my favorite series is the Private series. Love them!

I've been reading a lot of YA novels this year. I have to agree that the Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins is my favorite of the year so far. I also enjoyed the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare (kind of sci-fi/fantasy), or the Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld. The Odd Thomas series by Dean Koontz is great, as well. The Princess and the Hound was another surprisingly good read for me, by Mette Ivie Harrison.
I just finished up the Banned and Banished series by James Clemens and it was SO GOOD...I was sad for it to end.
Just tweeted - http://twitter.com/TaylorStef
Just finished "The Lost Symbol" by Dan Brown, so at the moment that is my favourite! Thanks for the chance to win!

I LOVE reading! I am somewhat cautious though! I do not like blood or gore and I only read clean lit! Right now my favorite book is The Undaunted by Gerald N. Lund. But my favorite of ALL TIME is of course Harry Potter!
I am a bad tweeter but here is mine: http://twitter.com/Wubyoumama
I used to read a lot before I had two little boys so now I only have time to look at picture books :) If you're in the mood to look at gorgeous photos, check out Polar Obsession by Paul Nicklen.
I love 'De alchemist' by Paulo Coelho: a boy makes a life-yourney to find his own 'hidden' treasure. Very inspirational.
With love,

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson. It's a children's chapter book (easy read) and a good one to get you in the spirit of Christmas.
Ummm, I'm a mommy of three preschoolers and can't remember the last book I read that I actually chose myself, so I'll just post that the last book I read was Green Eggs and Ham. LOL!
It's a bit grim and it's not particularly new, but The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak is a fabulous book that tells the story of life in Nazi Germany from the view point of a little girl who lived there. It's sentimental and sweet and the characters really come to life so the pages whiz by. Try reading something different for a change. YOu won't regret it!
The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton. Story moves back and forth between time over the last hundred years.
I tweeted too:

My favorite book is The Count of Monte Cristo, which I first read in high school, but have probably read 5 times since then. It's a long one.
I'm sure you will find this book translated in english. It's a french one. An incredible book, amazing, about love/futur/decision/death/birth/discovery...you have to read it !
the name : La nuit des Temps
author : René BARJAVEL
Let's read :))
Best read ever: Cold Tangerines by Shauna Niequist. It is quick and insightful and full of goodness! :)
http://www.amazon.com/Cold-Tangerines-Celebrating-Extraordinary-Everyday/dp/0310273609
The Shack (Hands down!)
I have re-read it three times now and continue to gain awareness from this book....my personal copy is highlighted with all my thoughts written all over the margins. I don't normally do that but sometimes enlightenment just comes upon you and you have to be sure to p ut them down.
Love love love this book
i'm re-reading The Last Lecture. It seemed like the perfect time.
Oh! Right now it is the Hunger Games and Catching Fire. I wish that the third book in the trilogy would come out tomorrow! Even my teenage boys love the books.
I just finished Ensemble, c'est tout
by Anna Gavalda.
And it's really GOOD.
Thanks for the chance to win!!
A quick read for the Holidays is Miracle on 34th Street. Unlike most books, this one was written after the movie. It has illustrations and is just a cute book...by Valentine Davies
My favorite book has been the same one since being a young teenagers as I still find it sticks with me as being such a good read & lesson.
Izzy Willy Nilly by Cynthia Vogt
Ok I have not read a book in quite a while the last was the twilight saga but I just bought the next booke of the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon- "An echo in the Bone" The only thing is I bought it for my SIL for Xmas and hope she does not mind me reading it first, or would that be wrong...
One of my favorite books of all time was published in the early 90s, Outlander, by Diana Gabaldon. Part historical, part time travel, part romance --- in a perfect blend of intrigue that makes it nearly impossible to put down. The story is continued beautifully in sequels that are still being released at present (2009). As a librarian with ready access to thousands of books, I very rarely purchase any -- this one and its sequels hit my personal shelves upon publication! :) Cheers - MCK
Writing MOtherhood by Lisa Garrigues. Great book!
I just re-read The Lovely Bones...I am really excited to see the movie in January & so I wanted it to be fresh in my mind :)
I am reading the classic "The Woman in White" right now. I can't put it down!
The Lovely Bones, by Alice Sebold
It's told from the perspective of a murdered 14yo girl who was raped and killed by her new nieghbour. It goes through all her insights into her family post-murder, and she watches from above how her family is torn apart from the tragedy. And she also sees what happens to her murderer, who, by the way, befriends her clueless dad.
It's really, really sad but it makes you wonder who's watching over you "from above"
