Seven The Number for Happiness, Love, and SuccessIf you like interesting little information, this book is great. I really enjoyed it!
I only just discovered Nicholas Sparks on Good Reads this year so thank you all for the recommendations.

Eat, Pray, Love One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and IndonesiaI really resonated with this book. I think we have all been on this journey before, even if we never left our own homes.

Nights in RodantheThis was the love story that Bridges of Madison County WANTED to be. I loved this story.
LOL I have a few books that I own two copies of. Sometimes you forget when it's sitting on that bookshelf for a while. Too funny!! I haven't read it yet but I am looking forward to it. Let me know what you think of it. =)
I love Picoult, but I haven't read HWC, now I'm not sure I want to. I did something pretty silly last week. I picked up her 19 Minutes from the library and a week later (before I got around to starting it) I was going through my own books and saw that I already owned it! Good grief! :) Still haven't read it. Have you read that one yet, Mandy?
Take your time, Cindy. No need to rush. I will get out Eating Heaven next week. =)Holli ~ My thoughts exactly!
Mandy, I am such a dip-shit sometimes! Yea, I got it with ur great birthday wish!! Thanks for that by the way. OK, now I have ur address...just got to get to the PO with the book!! ha
Cindy ~ I sent you my address, you didn't get it? Her books are good, very difficult topics and they all follow the same formula. I like her writing overall though. I have only read three books by her so far but will probably read all of them.Holli ~ My only complaint is this one is TOO MUCH like My Sister's Keeper. It's almost as if she wrote the same book twice with different diseases. It's a good read but I know you will see the similarities as quickly as I did.
I don't think I've read any Jodi Picoult either, but from what I understand I think all of her books are based on difficult topics, isn't that right? Glad you liked this one.
OH and send me your address! :)

Handle with CareVery difficult subject matter. I had a hard time digesting the mom in this book but overall liked it.

Eating HeavenI had a hard time getting into this one but I think it's because it was so different from The Time Traveler's Wife. Once I got into it, I couldn't put it down.
This is a bittersweet story. One that we can all relate too.
Cindy ~ It was a great story but I found myself going back and forth a lot with the dates which confused me a bit. After I finally got into it, I enjoyed it but there was some language I could have dealt without and a few scenes I think the author could have skipped all together. One scene at the end was a bit disappointing but all in all a good book. Pick it up, it's worth the read. =)
Mandy, still have this book on my bookshelf to read! Glad that you enjoyed it though it doesn't sound like it's going to be listed as one of your favorites. I started it once, but don't think I gave it enough of a chance. I was kind of lost trying to figure out what was going on!

The Time Traveler's WifeLoved the story but could have done without some of the scenes and language.
Very sad. But, you know what. For the amount of crying I usually do on books this one didn't hit me as hard. I did cry in certain spots but for the most part it just brought tears to my eyes. It has been giving me nightmares though. A lot. Books don't normally do that to me.
Oh, I've been watching your tweets all day about this and I think I'd better make sure I pick it up in the right from of mind---and with a big box of Kleenex!
So far pretty good. I like all her books. I know Holli loved it. The main character so far is very likable and about my age so I'm relating to her.
Very good...very emotional. My sister and I haven't been close the past few years so this book triggered a lot of emotions for me.
22. 
Between SistersKristin Hannah never seems to fail me. Such a good book and emotional read. I cried right through the last 4 or 5 chapters.
Cyndi and Brandie ~ I can't wait to get that one. She has a new one coming out too. Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang.

Awesome! Thank you!!

I really want to read one of her books. I bet I would enjoy her humor. I crack up watching her show.
