These of course, being read in my "spare" time....LOL.
I especially recommend, for those of you that have not yet had the chance to read them, ANY of the Shannon Hale books, but if you want a funny, quick read, start with Austenland. I was in hysterics the first time I read it.
You're welcome to steal ideas from my list, or e-mail me whatcha thought of the books. A lot of them are classics....Hope you enjoy! :D

Based on your list, you would really like I Capture the Castle. You've probably already read it. If not, throw it to the top of your list and you will discover a new favorite.
oooh, that sounds like a fun book list. i'm so proud of myself because i actually finished a book yesterday, yay! still trying to figure out how to find time to read with 2 little boys :). anyways, it's called "The History of Love" by Nicole Krauss and it was really good!
