All the books I read were good, and I would especially recommend titles with stars by them. Although, I enjoyed all the books I finished… I started quite a few more, but if I didn’t finish it, it obviously didn’t make the list.

I’m in a reading slump and need inspiration… please leave me a comment and let me know what books to read in 2009!

(I just got done with James Patterson's Sundays at Tiffany's and enjoyed it for a fiction easy read!)

Have you read The Glass Castle? I thought it was great.

I read one other book by Richard Evans and tried to read Christmas Box. Seems pretty formulaic and trite to me--what did you think?

You will LOVE The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen by Syrie James. It's fictional; but reads like a non-fiction piece...it's supposed to be Jane Austen's long-lost memoir. The author has done her research on the timeline of Austen's life and she wrote this book with BRILLIANCE. I highly recommend it.
