Books, books and more books!

So I was writing up a list for someone this morning and figured why not just post a small book-related summary of faves here?

Some of my ALL TIME FAVORITE BOOKS EVER:
The Red Tent, by Anita Diamant
Good in Bed, by Jennifer Weiner
My Sister's Keeper, by Jodi Picoult
The Middle Place, by Kelly Corrigan

And more recent faves:
Firefly Lane, by Kirstin Hannah
The Girl Who Stopped Swimming, by Joshilyn Jackson
On Folly Beach, by Karen White
The Help, by Kathryn Stockett

Authors I totally love almost everything they've written:
Jennifer Weiner
Jodi Picoult
Sarah Addison Allen

Also, today is the last day of the Spring Reading Thing that I posted about here.
