    ooh fun! i'm a follower, duh.

    i'm currently reading: "the girl who kicked the hornets nest" but first you have to read "the girl with the dragon tattoo" and "the girl who played with fire".

    AWESOME books.

    Yeah! Giveaways! And book giveaways! So exciting! Ok, suggestions for you. If you haven't read The Help yet, you MUST. It's by Kathryn Stockett. I have to second your friend Tara's suggestion of the Hunger Game series. I think I've already told you about them once maybe...And then there's One Day by David Nicholls. Beautifully written book about two friends over the course of 20 years. Revisits their relationship on the same day each year. Anne Hathaway is currently filming the movie version. Ok. that's enough for now. Should get you started! Yay Kindle buddies!

    I'm a follower :) And recently I read a book called "Strays" by Jeanne Webster. I think you'd like it because it's set in Georgia...or maybe GA/NC but still :)

    I rented this book and loved it. It would be great to have a copy that I could read over and over. I read "Here Comes the bride" a couple months ago it was really cute :)

    Such a great book, so good that I already own it! I absolutely love everything Emily Giffin has written and I'm getting pumped for the Something Borrowed Something Blue movie coming soon. I'm getting really nerdy these days and currently reading John C. Maxwell's "21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership" and very much enjoying it!

    Oh wow, Redeeming Love was amazing..!! It's a Christian romantic book about the book of Hosea. It's truly great.

    And girl... you know if you need book ideas I'm YOUR GIRL. So here are just a FEW. :)

    1. The Leisure Seeker- Michael Zadoorian
    2. Hush- Kate White
    3. Home to Woefield- Susan Juby
    4. City of Bones- Cassandra Clare (this is a series, and the 5th one comes out in April but I flew through all them really fast)
    5. Water for Elephants- Sara Gruen (I think)
    6. Wild Card- Lora Leigh (because every chick needs hot sex in a book once in awhile)
    7. Such a Pretty Fat- Jen Lancaster

    OK. So I clearly have more I could give you but this should keep you going for awhile. :)

    I highly recommend The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls. Her second book Half Broke Horses is also excellent AND non-fiction!

    I recently read The Eight by Katherine Neville. It was so good that I stayed up at night to read it even though I had a one month old who kept me up all night! saragayer at msn dot com
