My reading list

As you may have read in previous postings I have become an avid reader.  I love it!  Those that say "I don't like to read".... well my reply is simple.... You haven't found a good book!  I used to be one of those that only read because I HAD to read.  Now that I received some pretty good recommendations and did some online research I found some great reads.  A few that have been pretty fantastic!  Although I do belong to a fabulous book club I have vowed to read the following books (on my own) by the eve of the new year.  I pulled this list from www.bookclubgirl.com (great website for book clubbers).  Onto yet another reading journey... wanna join me?
