Nicolle, what did you think of The Secret Life of Bees? My sister recommended it to me a few years ago and I personally thought it was amazing! Lilly is a wonderful character. Did you watch the movie they came out with a few years ago?
      I didn't know that The Secret Life of Bees was a book...the movie was fantastic....now I must read the book!!! Man another on my TBR list...sigh!!!!
    
  
  
  
      Teri, you'll love the book too! I don't know about you, but I always think the books are soooo much better than the movies!
    
      But of course they are....I don't like watching a movie after I read a book because I am way too disappointed in the movie...my husband HATES when I read a book first because I pick the movie apart and then he doesn't enjoy it either!! lol

I loved the book! I thought the characters werw adorable and the whole book really captured the effect of racial discrimination in a realistic and believable way. Many upsetting parts though. I have also watched the film and thought the choice of actors was brilliant, though of course not as good as the book.
      Both of them are favourites of mine. I advise you to keep going on The Book Thief even if you don't really like the first half of the book. I wasn't so keen and nearly gave up but carried on for some reason and I am so glad I did as it is such an incredible novel!The Hunger Games is addictive, so you should make sure you have the sequels at hand. I still haven't read MockingJay and am desperate to read it!
      My five... Just finishing Little Women. Next is The Larnach's. Then re-reading Jane Eyre. After that Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and Sense and Sensibility.
    
      Ok, so after I'm done with Look Homeward, Angel I will be reading:The Help
One Day
Something Borrowed
Water for Elephants
The Hunger Games
:D
      I'm finishing re-reading Jane Austen's 'Persuasion' right now, then my next five will probably be:"Still Life With Woodpecker" by Tom Robbins
"Dark Birthright" by Jeanne Treat
"Flapper" by Joshua Zeitz
"The Wizard of Oz" by L. Frank Baum
"Kitty" by Deborah Challinor
      Right now I'm working my way through Never Let Me Go, which I borrowed from the library. I'm also rereading Metamorphosis.Then, in no particular order, The Pox Party, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit and The Book Thief.
Don Quixote
Pillars of the earth

      Villette is on the back burner right now. I feel better now that I'm past the half way mark. I'll get back to it when I've finished Jar City.I've started Our Mutual Friend & Bleak House with another group that is doing a comparative read of these 2 Dickens books. I will be taking my time with these.
Let's see ... you want 5 ... The Manchurian Candidate is one of my remaining TBR challenge books for the year so I'm going to try to finish it after Jar City.
      Nicolle u need to read Don Q....It is supper funny and entertaining
    
  
  
  
      It's kind of tricky to read, but I have also posted a link to Cliffs notes that is for Don.....It is about a guy who loves to read and takes it to the next level...that is all I am going to say!!!
    
  
  
  
      My next 5 reads areDon Quixote
      After I finish The Kite Runner
City of Bones
      Carrie let me know what you thought of the lovely bones....I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought that I would
    
  
  
  
      Really? I loved The Lovely Bones! I can tell you Esta that The Book Thief anf City of Bones both got 5 stars from me.
    
      I was just looking at the plans for the rest of this month. I've changed a bit. I'm still reading 2 Dickens, but it's Bleak House and listening to A Christmas Carol. I'm reading a few for the A-Z challenge that I think I can finish (won't finish the other one, so will work on those books in 2012).
The Other a reread ... hope I enjoy it as much as I did before
Quench The Lamp This one's sweet.
The Xibalba Murders not really liking this one much. Probably won't read any more by this author.
