i dont know if they were msde into movies...if they were id love to see it!!!

nevermind i just realized what i was thinking about and its the wrong one lol

They are making 'the lovely bones' into a movie. Peter Jackson who directed Lord of the Rings is doing the movie. Should be FANTASTIC.

I recommend 'Something Borrowed' & 'Something Blue.' I heard the Time Traveler's Wife is great as well.

sOUNDS like i should really check out lovely bones

Yes, it made me cry. It was so different and gave you a different perspective on life and death. etc. I bet the movie is going to be amazing.

well if i get that, ill also have to get a more lighthearted book to read first and then this...I just finished reading prozac nation and need something a little different lol

If you like Bergdorf blondes and Devil Wears prada, the shopaholic series are fun too,...

Also I really like Jenna Jamesons - how to make love like porn star... its actually a really good book and it gives you some tips too

I read 'Something Borrowed' 'Something Blue' and 'Baby Proof' all by Emily Giffin... she is a FANTASTIC writer. if you want a juicy book, get something borrowed and you'll be hooked!!!

Re: recommendations for good books

I just finished reading 'Eat, Pray, Love' and I am recommending it to Everyone. This book is amazing and I think every woman can relate to a search for peace and love.
Read this book. I would offer to loan mine but it's making the rounds among my friends.

Re: recommendations for good books

My favorite book (it was the only one i was ever able to read cover to cover in less then 2 weeks) was Black and Blue.

ETA: i had to read it for a class, but it was actually really really good.
