Actually any of Madeline L'Engle's are good choices, but it all start with my vary favorite book of all time.....<BR/><BR/>BTW-- The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi, Animal Farm by George Orwell<BR/><BR/>If it's murder and suspense your looking for...Patrica Cornwell, John Stanford, James Patterson...all amazing authors.<BR/><BR/>Jude Deveraux..she has so many books that I enjoy.<BR/><BR/>Sorry, I read ALOT! There is plenty more where all of that came from.Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04590289273863672833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891806199544342254.post-63840436818378634292008-05-22T09:14:00.000-04:002008-05-22T09:14:00.000-04:00No vampires, huh?

You'd think it was written by L.M. Montgomery herself. Loved it. I've gotta put in a good word for John D. Fitzgerald's "Papa Married a Mormon" (great read) and if you haven't read his "Great Brain" series, it's never too late. Those were some of my favorite kids' books ever.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898241636684120438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891806199544342254.post-82908892914494960542008-05-21T16:14:00.000-04:002008-05-21T16:14:00.000-04:00There is no such thing as ONE favorite book, agree...There is no such thing as ONE favorite book, agreed. I like a bunch of the suggestions. <BR/><BR/>I would also recommend Jeffrey Archer, if you're into fast reading. He has a collection of short stories: "A Twist in the Tale"--it's is a good intro to his style. Suspense. I think "The Eleventh Commandment" is another goodie (but a real novel.)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, if you want to know more about the books I like, try this link http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/745806?shelf=read <BR/>and/or sign up on goodreads.com and you can get lots of good book suggestions all the time!Andi Kate, Children's Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06276051519521844931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891806199544342254.post-30140894204557186182008-05-20T14:47:00.000-04:002008-05-20T14:47:00.000-04:00wow, i absolutely have to read this book now! int...wow, i absolutely have to read this book now! intriguing post...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10975021445247888037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891806199544342254.post-46840979172495481232008-05-19T23:14:00.000-04:002008-05-19T23:14:00.000-04:00Oh!

You don't even have to worry about werewolves until the second book and by then you really won't care!<BR/>I would also recommend A little Princess or Emily of New Moon under the books about children category.<BR/><BR/>Jane Eyre--I just read as my penance for liking the Vampire books too much. But it was SOOO good!<BR/><BR/>Anything Jane Austen. Northanger Abbey cracks me up!<BR/><BR/>I think those are the only fiction I've read recently. I'm a big fan of non-fiction and self help books. And might I recommend books on tape--a busy girls best friend.<BR/><BR/>Happy reading!andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04566011281613613900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891806199544342254.post-81861818247335150202008-05-19T16:30:00.000-04:002008-05-19T16:30:00.000-04:00I'm with Lori, give the vampires another chance.

It makes you want to be better.<BR/>Listening is an Act of Love. Non-fiction but a very easy read. It's 49 short stories, so it's perfect for reading in your little snippets of time.<BR/>Pride and Prejudice (or anything Jane Austen). Light and romantic, perfect chick-flick on paper. Speaking of which...<BR/>Give the vampires another chance.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13759586121672152426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891806199544342254.post-36392664771932994572008-05-19T13:58:00.000-04:002008-05-19T13:58:00.000-04:00Jennifer Weiner.
