I love a good read. Especially if you pair it with a warm day and no laundry taunting you from the other room. In three weeks, I'll get my life back for a short season and I'm looking for books to add to my wishlist. But don't think about what I might like, suggest your favorites and I'm sure I'll find a few to hunker down with...I'll reward one random rabbit chaser with a $25 gift card to Barnes & Noble which you can use online or at a store near you! And if you don't read, think of it as a great wedding, graduation, or father's day gift...

ReplyDeleteI love Nicholson Baker and would recommend "Vox." Thanks! twomakesfour at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteI followed - i.gorosabel at gmail dot com.
ReplyDelete"The Way Things Ought to Be." Rush Limbaugh. All seriousness. One of the most eloquent non-religious arguments for the Pro-Life movement I have read. And his suggestion for an All PMS brigade of Marines is one of the best ideas ever.
ReplyDeleteanything by ann rule i love true crime
ReplyDeleteOne of the best books I've read in a long time is "The Book of Bright Ideas" by Sandra Kring. I highly recommend it to everyone.

One book?!? Seriously? I'm leaving three :o) I just finished Willow by Julia Hoban, it's YA, but it's really really great, even for adults. One that's about to drop (7.7.09) that I'm in love with is Eyes Like Stars by Lisa Mantchev... keep your eyes open for this one! And I love The Morganville Vampires series by Rachel Caine.

ReplyDeleteI recommend anything by Orson Scott Card, but particularly Ender's Game. Amazing novel.
ReplyDeletedanunepthys(at)hotmail(dot)com
Part of me thinks I really shouldn't have to suggest anything - or maybe I should just get extra points for recommending such amazing books all the time.
ReplyDeleteI just finished 'A Prayer for Owen Meany' by Johnathan Irving and it was excellent.
I also suggest anything written by Neil Gaiman. I'm in such a Gaiman rut right now. It's lovely.
I'm an avid follower.

ReplyDelete"The Courageous Follower" by Ira Chaleff. Honestly. Ironic because of all the following I do with Jamie's Rabbits.
But seriously, this book defined the way I view, think, and act in the boss/employee relationship. It is one of my favorite books. I read it in college, and actually started rereading it last night.
My favorite book is, My Sisters Keeper, by Jodi Picoult (any of her books are great!)
ReplyDeleteI have just been reading the Twilight series and love it. The first book is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteAll Nicholas Sparks books, and The girl Who Stopped Swimming is a good summer read! Thanks

I stalk Jamie's rabbits and i think I am on twitter too. I forget to check it :(

Evidence Not Seen - by Darlene Deibler Rose
ReplyDeleteI truly love the book Redeeming Love. Also I like anything written by Nicholas Sparks even though most of his books end up kinda sad.
ReplyDeleteOkay, one of my favs from this past year has to be "Agnes and the Hitman" by Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer. If you like your heroine to wear red glasses and prefer an iron skillet as her weapon of choice then this is the book for you. ***Warning- best not to drink anything while reading as you will probably lose it through your nose as this book is too funny.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I follow.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite type of book is true crime,with that being said my fave is the strager beside me by ann rule
ReplyDeleteahdrad2932(at)msn(dot)com
Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry is deserving of its Pulitzer. Cowboys & renegades & ladies of ill repute. It's brilliant & so alive. I have read it many times over.
ReplyDeletemarypres(at)gmail(dot)com
I love Flowers for Algernon...its a beautiful book full of hope, sadness, and happiness. Its the first book I read that really made me "LOVE" Reading! I also love anything by Jane Austen, and I love Biographys and Auto-Biographies as well!

ReplyDelete'Edith Head's Hollywood' has to be my favourite for '09 so far. It's completely indulgent, elegantly glamourous, and an insight into design that made women even more beautiful, powerful and elegant.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to say The Lord of the Rings books.
