Top 5 Books

A friend asked me today what my top 5 favorite books were. First, no fair I don't think I can do this.

This is what I finally came up with.

Here is the run down. I don’t really have all time favorite books, well maybe one or ten. So I will break them down a little. FYI my orginal list has 20 books on the list.

If you love funny, comical, fast read, girly books Jenn and I LOVED these. All 5 good books, a good series. Wouldn’t say I would put any single book as a favorite but favorite series if that make sense.

Confessions of a Shopaholic, by Sophie Kinsella
Shopaholic takes Manhattan
Shopaholic Ties the Knott
Shopaholic & Sister
Shopaholic & Baby

Same author wrote The Undomestic Goddess – It is a quick good read too.

But I think my all time 5 favorites

- Water For Elephants – by Sara Gruen (Probably one of my all time favorites I started it 3 times on the 3rd time I couldn’t put it down. I think I read it in 3-4 days.)

- Shoot The Moon – by Billie Letts (She wrote Where the Heart Is which was one of Oprah’s first book club books.)

- The Lucky One – Nicolas Sparks (Some people don’t like him mainly all his books seem similar. Amy V LOVES him, Krissy not a fan. I have only read 4 of his books this one was one of my favorites. I did like all the 4 that I have read though.)

- Accidental Happiness – Jean Reynolds (I randomly received this book and loved it.)

- Sam’s Letter to Jennifer – James Patterson (Not anything like his mystery books at all. This was one of the first books I read in literally 2 days. LOVED it.)

I have many more but you said top 5. A few other favs though are

- Girl with a Pear Earring (probably would tie one of them for my top 5 fav. )
- Memoirs of Geisha
- The Choice
- At First Sight
- The Pilot’s Wife

So there is a run down of a few good ones. I have many more but it was only suppose to be 5. Depends on what you are also looking to read. Kite Runner is another one of my favs. I have started a list from authors that aren’t as popular as Nicolas Sparks or James Patterson, of books I want to read now.

Also most done with another I started last Saturday. On to the next one.
