My favorite pastime


Even though I have been seriously slacking on the posting lately.  I felt like for my 100th post I should do something big.  But I couldn't come up with anything!!  I  am having serious brain fog lately.  

Instead, Erika asked me about some book recommendation yesterday and gave me a good idea for today.
I have always been addicted to reading.  When time allows 2 or 3 books in a week!  My friends always ask me what books I recommend.  Sometimes I hesitate because I feel it's a bit subjective.  But, hey they don't have to like them, or finish them.  

Here is a small list of my favorite all time reads.  I will say I love all kinds of books.  And most of my summer reading right now are crime novels, and chic lit.  Usually because I read so much and you only stumble upon an amazing book every once in a while.
So here is my list: 

1. A Prayer for Owen Meany, John Irving
2. The Time Travelers Wife, Audrey Niffenegger
3. All the King's Men, Robert Penn Warren
4. Memoirs of a Geisha, Arthur Golden
5. Pillars of The Earth, Ken Follett
6. She's Come Undone, and I Know This Much is True, Wally Lamb
I also love to read Stephen King, Kathy Reichs, Patricia Cornwell, and I laugh out loud to Janet Evonovich's Stephanie Plum series.  I just finished "The Girl who Played with Fire" by Stieg Larsson the 2nd book in his series.  

Thanks for asking Erika!  And giving me a great post idea.
