beads

EVERYONE! please send me your book suggestions. i need a few good ones to take with me to mexico, and could use many suggestions for my "to read" list. comment or email me your favourite books, or books you really enjoyed and think i would like. i'll read pretty much anything if it's well written – except i'm not a fan of scary. 

your help is appreciated.

the seasons have changed and so have we.

have you ever read 'clan of the cave bear' by jean m. auel? i love that book and have read it many times... there's a whole series that follows it, too, all excellent reading.

here's my list:

Secret Life of Bees - one of my favourite!
Friday Night Knitting Club - a light read and it involves knitting!
The Bean Trees (barbra kingsolver) - there is a little girl named Turtle in it
Icy Sparks - a quirky book but fun
The History of Love - a deep read
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants - silly, ernest, teenage girl books... a good vacation read.

Let me know if you want to borrow one or a few!

Oh, yes, The Red Tent is great!

I also loved Gilead by Marilyn Robinson and The Birth House by Amy McKay.

Oh, and also A Brief History Of Tractors in Ukrainian by Marina Lewycka.

I The Birth House and A Brief History of Tractors. Let me know if you'd like to borrow them.

3 cups of tea was amazing. i bought it, read 3 chapters, lost it at the mall, and had to re-buy it because i couldn't stop thinking about it.

infidel was also great.
