Okay. Cami challenged us all to name our top 10 books. I have so many books I love, so this is going to be quite a challenge.

1. Pride and Prejudice
2. Catcher in the Rye
3. A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
4. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
5. Rebecca (By Daphne du Maurier)
6. The Secret Garden
7. Eat, Pray, Love
8. To Kill a Mockingbird
9. Gift from the Sea
10. Wuthering Heights

Okay now by way of explanation. I love to read. I've never tried to make a top 10 list. As I wrote this, all I could think of all the fantastic books I am leaving out....but a lot of the books I chose were life changing for me. So there you go...is anyone else out there? I'm interested to read other people's lists.

I have finished the book. I really liked it. It only took me a week to read. It was a quick, easy read but there's a lot to think about and discuss. If anyone wants to borrow my book, it's up for grabs.

I went to Costco this weekend and noticed they have copies of The Help by Kathryn Stockett. I bought a copy. It was $13 and is only available in hard back. I am about 75 pages into the book and I really like it. I hope everyone else will like it too. As soon as I am done I will let everyone know and you can start passing it around. I didn't check Amazon for prices there...You maybe could get it cheaper there used. Happy reading. -Trish

Here we are!

This is our book/movie group blog. You should all be authors so you can contribute.

I thought it would be really fun for us to kick off our blog with a posting assignment! (Don't worry, this won't happen often.) Since we ALL want book recommendations, I'd love to see everyone's top 10 favorite books. I'd love to see other recommendations too, if you want to add things that may not necessarily be your favorite, but you love to recommend. So, if you want to, post and give us your faves and your recommendations. It will be great to have this resource, as well as to get to know everyone's different reading tastes. You can do it for movies too, if you'd like. That would be super fun.

Can't wait to see your posts!

Cami

p.s. OH, I forgot. What do you want to do about Gone With the Wind. Comment here to give your say.

A. To HECK with bedtime--let's watch all 4 hours as planned!
B. Yikes, I think we'd better start earlier so I can get to bed at a decent hour.
C. Well, I really want to watch it all, but I may fall asleep--let's do two different days.
D. 4 hours is fine, if it's a weekend. Let's change the date.
