I just finished reading book one and I'm waiting for my sister-in-law to give me the second book in the series. It was an awesome book and I can't wait to read the next one.Em and Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08732383886869467503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4584790711247185200.post-73433941388793494152009-11-03T21:09:41.163-07:002009-11-03T21:09:41.163-07:00I have LOTS of great book suggestions that will no...I have LOTS of great book suggestions that will not only entertain you but push you towards being a better writer as well (per your previous confessional post). (Not that you are a bad writer at all; simply that these books showcase what really good writing is, thus they make any writer aspire to write better.) Here's the short list; there's more where these came from:<br /><br />1. One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez<br />2. Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See<br />3. Bel Canto by Ann Patchett<br />4. The Maisie Dobbs series by Jacqueline Winspear (there are 4 or 5 in the series now, I think)<br />5. The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series by Alexander McCall Smith (I think 8 now in the series) (these are clever and light-hearted, take place in Botswana)Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16856771158164654946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4584790711247185200.post-65889744808070100022009-11-03T18:51:55.338-07:002009-11-03T18:51:55.338-07:00I loved new moon too!
