Can you give a brief description? Thanks!

Ps. I am reading "Become a Better You" by Joel Osteen. So far so good!

This is the first one, and I have read some of the others, but may read them again, as I have really enjoyed them. Sarah in ME

I cried for at least an hour, but it was worth it. Kite Runner is a GREAT book.

Your lighter-reading one sounds good right now, though!

Well in trying to describe the book I couldn't do it justice so I got this from Amazon describing the book. I don't think this really does it justice either but you can get an idea of what it is about.hth


At the age of thirty-one, Gilbert moved with her husband to the suburbs of New York and began trying to get pregnant, only to realize that she wanted neither a child nor a husband. Three years later, after a protracted divorce, she embarked on a yearlong trip of recovery, with three main stops: Rome, for pleasure (mostly gustatory, with a special emphasis on gelato); an ashram outside of Mumbai, for spiritual searching; and Bali, for "balancing." These destinations are all on the beaten track, but Gilbert's exuberance and her self-deprecating humor enliven the proceedings: recalling the first time she attempted to speak directly to God, she says, "It was all I could do to stop myself from saying, 'I've always been a big fan of your work.'"

I don't get to read a lot of books but I have a 40+ minute drive to and from work daily so I listen to a lot of books on CD. I just got done listening to Dear John by Nicholas Sparks - I love his books.

I read several magazines while doing my cardio workout - Oxygen (my fav), O, and fitness. I read them from cover to cover.

I'm an avid reader and always have several books going at once.

Here goes:

I LOVE Harry Potter, so I'm reading the 7th novel (for the 5th time)....I just started it last night.

I am reading The Strong-Willed Child by Dr. Dobson
Raising Boys, Dr. Dobson
The Bible (currently in Leviticus, Psalms and Luke)
The 7 Practices of Effective Ministry
Remember, Karen Kingsbury (Christian Fiction...really good)
The Golden Compass (can't remember the author's name)
Plus several magazines: Everyday Food, Taste of Home, Simple and Delicious, and Cuisine

I just finished the Abram's Daughter series by Beverly Lewis and will start another series as soon as I finish the Kingsbury series I'm in.
