Book Change?

Hey there Eagle Readers - I have to admit that I totally forgot about our blog and just stumbled upon it while perusing my bookmarks. Anyway, I've missed the last couple of book group nights so I haven't been able to discuss this with the group so I'll bring it up here. I know we voted on the books for the year already, but I have since read the book I suggested we read for December, "Remembering Isaac"and though it was OK, I wasn't exactly thrilled with it. I would rather change my selection to "The Hunger Games" which I have also read and think it would be a great book to discuss. Since tonight is book group and I am once again out of town - perhaps you could vote on my proposal or if not, I'm sure I'll make it to book group before December and we can talk about it then. (I'm just trying to save you from a less than exciting book experience - no offense to anyone who absolutely loves "Remembering Isaac" - like my sister who told me it was so incredible - to each his own:)

A Foreign Affair

Rebecca's Favorites

I will try to remember my favorite books. These are in no particular order.

The Work and Glory series
Bayern books
Dracula
Count of Monte Cristo
10 Little Indians
The Spring of the Tiger
A Tale of Two Cities
Frankenstein
Nancy Drew
Cronicles of Prydain

These are all books I remember that made me happy to be reading them. Most are from my childhood.

Cami's Faves

PLEASE don't ignore the post below that Trisha put up. Go down and read it first, then peruse this, if you choose.

I'm feeling bad that I've not done my very own assignment! So I'll post my faves.

Since I'm feeling a little adventurous and lazy at the same time, I think I'll just post my favorites shelf from Shelfari, then you can see them, and hover over them if you want my reviews. Let's see if this works:

Shelfari: Book reviews on your book blog

That's a couple more than 10, but you'll all have to deal!

It WAS hard to choose though. Perhaps we'll have to post our favorites of different genres in the future--or recommendations, which are definitely different than favorites!

Hi all. I just wanted to let you all know if anyone else needs a copy of the book, I got mine back and it is available. Also, we will have our book group next Tuesday (March 2) at my house (Trisha's) at 7:30pm. It should be a good discussion. Hope everyone can make it.

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.
