Okay my friends, I am continuing my new year's resolution with reading one book per month. I just finished Heaven is for Real. All I can say is.....WOW. It truly changes your perception not only of heaven, but of the purity and innocence of children. I definitely recommend it.
Here's where I need your help. I'm not up to par on my authors. If it's a novel and not written by Nicholas Sparks, I most likely haven't read it. I loved the book I read by Emily Giffin, and have thought of reading another of hers but am not sold on a certain one. I am pleading with everyone that reads this blog to comment and tell me what YOUR favorite book is. I am looking for my April Book of the Month and I am depending on your input to help me make a selection!!! If I choose your book, you will receive....ummm....well, a shout out on my next post. Sorry folks, I can't do much else.
Let me hear your thoughts! Happy Hump Day!

I started reading the Fallen series. The first one is titled Fallen.
that was scooter by the way
I agree. The Help is a great book. If you like historical fiction, The 19th Wife is good. A very good memoir is "The Glass Castle" and I guess a prequel to that book would be "Half-Broke Horses". Both are excellent.
I have also heard great things about The Help. Haven't read it yet though. I have been recommending Heaven is For Real to EVERYONE! I'm so glad you read it. I thought it was really amazing too.
I am sure you have read Francine Rivers, but just in case you haven't, I always recommend, Redeeming Love and her Mark of the Lion series. She has a new series out about a mother and daughter relationship, but I cant remember the name of the first book.
thanks for the suggestions- keep them coming! i have heard many good things about The Help, but i'm just not crazy about stories set a long time ago. i don't know why. i have read Redeeming Love...amazing! I want something fun and light-hearted next month!
The Glass Castle is Ah-mazing. The Secret Life of Bees. Anything by Anne Lamott. If you want something light and girly, Sophia Kinsella has a "Shopaholic" series that is hysterical (total fluff though)
my favorite novel of all time is Gone With the Wind...I love Francine Rivers's Mark of the Lion...awesome! The Help is great...I know you want something fun and lighthearted, but you should definitely try one of the above at some point...all are great!
After reading your blog entry "He Spoke to Me", I would recommend Small Miracles - Extraordinary Coincidences from Everyday Life by Yitta Halberstam & Judith Leventhal
Here is a link to review the book through Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Small-Miracles-Extraordinary-Coincidences-Everyday/dp/1580620442/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
