Most favorite book is "Gone with the Wind" by Margaret Mitchell. I was 12 at my grandmothers and bored. I was hooked on the first paragraph because it talked of the Georgia red clay and as I realized the location was right where I lived in Jonesboro, Georgia . But that would not have held me for very long, it had to be the most awsome character of Scarlett O'Hara and of course the very naughty bad boy Rhett Butler. I actually learned a little history also.

I have several.

Homeless Bird by Gloria Whelan

Such a beautiful book...I truely mean it. Its soo lovely. Read it...its not really a guy book though...

I am Morgan le Fay by Nancy Springer

Another beautiful book. Its a tad hard to follow at first but I always find myself resorting back to it...its so pretty. Its a drama/romance however. Be warned of the sappyness haha.

The First Part Last, by Angela Johnson

LOVED IT! Its so sad, yet another lovely book. I tend to resort to my saddish books.

Coraline by Neil Gaiman

This book is so bleeping creepy its not even funny, but its very unique. I think everyone should read it. Just not at night.

The Theif Lord by Cornelia Funke

This is a good book, but don't watch the movie. Just don't. Its not worth your time at all and will make you hate the book.

Inkheart by Cornelia Funke

I liked this book, but I heard that I'm one in a minority. It's one of those books that doesn't have an overplayed plot. With Eragon, I found myself seething because I could tell what was coming next - every single time.

Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli

This is a classic, I think. After I read it I started kind of loosening up. (A friend of mine used to say I was wound up tighter then a spring in a clock, but after reading it, I've become SOMETIMES "as laid back as a recliner. Yes, its insulting to be compared to something thats such an eyesore and so bulky, but I suppose its all good... -.-)

Stepford Wives by Ira Levin

I watched the movie and found myself compelled to read the book. Its good, and I liked the ending much more then in the movie. The movie was just kind of like, "...no."

A long Way from Chicago, by Richard Peck

This book is something everyone should read. Its always kept me laughing, sometimes so hard that I cried. Its lighthearted, and it reminds me very specifically of my Grandma, who does stuff she shouldn't either.

Memoirs of a Geisha (I have temporarily forgot the author's name...I'm sorry. ._. I don't own the book)

This was lovely. I didn't read much into it however. I just sort of scanned through, because I read it in 4th grade (I'm in 8th now) and didn't have that much understanding. I remember liking it. I just need to read it again. -.-""" Don't shame me or anything...I was young once too...

(You may want to consult your Grammar/Spelling textbooks....just a thought.)

Three Wishes by Barbara Delilnsky...

She's a great romance author in my opinion because life doesn't always have a perfect ending, and she reflects that in her books. Sometimes bad things happen, people get hurt and the character doesn't come away with all hearts and roses... but they do come out stronger.

"The Book of Barabbas-Searching for the Messiah" by Deborah Ann Wilson. Part 2, "Finding Salvation" ought to be out later this year, and I can't wait!
This is her first effort, but I am SOOO looking forward to hearing more from Ms. Wilson.

The Age of Innocence, by Edith Wharton

But, you have to like that kind of writing, and possibly be female. :-)
