I think I've mentioned this before - but I LOVE to read. I would prefer a book to t.v. any minute of the day (with the exception of a lost episode with my hubby these last four days).
Some fabulous, five star page-turners I've read in the last few weeks are:
The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett
The Other Boelyn Girl by Philippa Gregory
The Glass Castle: A Memoir by Jeannette Walls
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini (which I just finished an hour ago on my lunch break...and I'm still wiping tears away [figuratively speaking]...and craving kabobs...can we go to Kabob Palace tonight honey?)
Many thanks to my favorite book screener/reviewer and personal library, Kayla, for having a never-ending supply of books for me to read.

We both moved to the Washington DC area in January 2005. We met at a party shortly after we moved there. Our roommates started dating each other, so we began spending time together as their wingmen. In April of that year we all four took a trip to Puerto Rico, and there Brendon and Taryn had their first kiss and began dating. Brendon went home to meet Taryn's family that August, and when Brendon hit a clay pigeon with a 22 rifle Taryn was sold! We left Washington DC in June 2008 to return to campus life. Brendon is getting his Masters in Business Administration at Stanford University, and Taryn is more than thrilled to be living in her home state of California again!

so glad to get a new list of reading materials! I am anxious to start A Thousand Splendid Suns. When I flew to Vegas last month, my seat neighbor was reading The Kite Runner and SOBBED through the flight. She was so embarrassed and apologized a dozen times.
So I've read 3 out of the 4 books...and I loved them all too. Especially The Pillars of the Earth..I didn't think that I would like it when I started it, I loved it!
I'm with you girl. In fact, I think I'm going to cancel my cable after this week (American Idol and Grey's Anatomy finales) because I hardly watch TV and would much rather read a great book. I started thinking about how insane it is that I spend so much a month for a cable box I hardly utilize. I've been meaning to read Ken Follett's book and am happy to see that you enjoyed it. After I finished A Thousand Splendid Suns, I couldn't stop thinking about it. The characters are just so unforgettable and the story mesmerizing. I'm amazed at how well Hosseini tells a story.
