Recommend Your Favorite Books Please

I know a bunch of us are avid readers.  B and I just got Kindles for Hannukah, so I'm looking to stock up on some ebooks.

What have you ladies read recently that I absolutely have to read?  I'm open to all suggestions.

Re: Recommend Your Favorite Books Please

  • The first ones I downloaded were off of the free list.

    I loved The Help, and I'm currently finishing the Kathy Reichs/Bones series books.

  • Outlander was free on amazon last time i looked. I also read a lot of Jodi Picoult and I've been reading J.D. Robb books lately. It's Nora Roberts under a different name and it's all mystery stuff. The Hunger Game series gets a lot of attention, but I haven't read it yet. Check out the Nest Book Club board. They usually have a ton of great ideas.

  • I really enjoyed Lauren Groff's "Monsters of Templeton." I'm not sure if you've read Jasper Fforde, but I love all of his stuff. Debra Ginsberg has been my find of the year, especially "The Grift." "The Broken Teaglass" by Emily Arsenault was pretty charming, and "Lavinia" by Ursula K. Le Guin was great.
  • I really enjoyed the hunger games series.

  • I am a sucker for historical fiction. I love Steven Saylors Roma Sub Rosa Series. It's about a detective in Ancient Rome.

    I just read Tim Gunn's newest book and enjoyed it. He's an interesting guy.

    The art of Racing in the Rain was pretty good.

  • I'm reading The Pillars of the Earth right now and it's a great read, albeit extremely long.

    some other good ones I've read recently - Undiscovered Gyrl by Allison Barnett, The Sookie Stackhouse series (if you're into vampires and True Blood) by Charlaine Harris, ODd Thomas by Dean Koontz, and My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult.

    I'm dying to read Kat Von D's books as well, though I don't have high hopes for them, but I love her so I think they'd be interesting at least.

  • I just read a book called The Opposite of Me by a new author named Sarah Pekkanen. It was surprising well written and I really enjoyed it.
  • My absolute favorite author is Gabriel Garcia Marquez - you cannot go wrong with him. Especially One Hundred Years of Solitude (long read but beautiful) and Of Love and Other Demons. He writes in magical realism and the images he paints are so vivid!

  • Thanks ladies!  I can't wait to read up on your book choices this evening.  Most of them are new to me, but I've always wanted to read The Art of Racing in the Rain, Eva, probably because it has a dog on the cover.  And Pillars of the Earth is definitely on the list already, Mandee.  I've never read a Ken Follet book, but I've he's wonderful.
