I read saving graces...loved it!!!

Mine:
The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood by Rebecca Wells (Have read it three times in three years. HATED the movie!!!)

Honestly, anything by Luanne Rice and Dorothy Benton Frank.

I am a sucker for books that make you feel good. Family drama, lost loves etc.

I love Isabella Allende novels. I read ANYTHING I can get my hands on! However lately there has been no time! I think the last book I read was :Everything is Illuminated. I also looooved the 5 people you meet in heaven. I was in the middle of the airport waiting for my plane and getting all teary eyed reading it!

Im currently reading 'Million Little Pieces' and all I have to say is WOW! An amazing memoir of a man who as a young man was heavily addicted to alcohol and drugs...his description of what he went through in rehab is just absolutely amazing...you feel like you're in the guy's skin...

The Notebook was so fantastic - I read it twice. And I loved the movie! I went to a N. Sparks signing a few months ago and he's such an amazing writer and down to earth guy.
