13 BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS
When I held a contest for the great bloggy giveaways carnival, I asked the readers of their favorite books. From 555 comments, here are the popular book titles mentioned. I have now added this in my reading list.
1. Pride and Prejudice
2. The Shack
3. The Pillars of the Earth
4. Bridge to Terabithia
5. Duma Key
6. Outlander
7. Come, reza, ama / Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman’s Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia
8. Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1)
9. God on a Harley
10. Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life’s Greatest Lesson
11. Lies Women Believe: And the Truth that Sets Them Free
12. Redeeming Love
13. Jane Eyre
Anything you want to add to the list? Any book you’d like to recommend to stop me from dying of boredom during my lunch break at work where I have no internet?

Loves your list!

Don’t tell my high school English teacher, but I once wrote a term paper on Jane Eyre based solely on the Cliff Notes - and got an A!

I’ve read Outlander but am boycotting some of the others on general principle… Don’t ask!

I was about to say I’d read 4 of these, but then I checked, and it’s only 3. I’d mistaken this for Pillars of the Earth.
Twilight is in my to-look-for list, after I’ve had multiple recommendations.

According to the reviews at Amazon, “Redeeming Love” looks excellent. Thanks for the links!
Happy TT, and Happy Valentine’s Day.
Blessings, e-Mom @ Chrysalis.

Tuesdays with Morrie…I have read that many times….annotated even…I plan to read it many more.
Bridge to Terebithia is something I read as a child….it made me cry and most books did not do that. I recently bought the movie of this one. The girl who plays in that movie is adorable. There is also a video of the girl singing on the DVD.

Oops…guess I didn’t annotate Tuesdays. It is stained and the binding is almost broken….a well-loved book.
