Recommendations

By Shelly | April 6, 2009

I own hundreds of books.  Literally.  But I want to know if anyone can recommend a book that will grab me by the throat and not let me go until I have turned the last page.  No hardback recs please.  I’m flying next week and want to pack light! :)

    Jessi ~ Oooh I think I own a few of those. Now I need to pull them out!

    Andie ~ That is a great title! lol

    Pat ~ LOVED Mercy and Sarah’s Child. Will look into Three Wishes. I’ve not read much Delinsky.

    Thanks, you guys!

    I know I am way too late for your flight, but a few good titles to keep in mind for the future:

    Gone with the Wind – if you’ve never read this classic go pick it up ASAP!

    Best of Everything – Rona Jaffe – like “Sex & the City” before STC existed. Story of five young women in NYC in the 1950s and is surprisingly enjoyable

    Confessions of my Horizontal Life – Chelsea Handler – a laugh out loud romp through Handler’s ridiculous sex-capades, don’t read if you’re easily offended!

    Three very different books, all of which I highly suggest! Let me know if you ever get around to any of them :) Love your blog!
