My favorite books

So thanks to Facebook, I got the idea to list some of my favorite books I've ever read.  (I love reading, so I'm really hoping others will take this idea and give some suggestions on their blogs)  Keep in mind that this list is probably going to change within the next few months (once I get to reading the rest of the Twilight series *wink)  So without further ado:

1. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.  (Now this, I can undoubtedly say, will always be my number 1 read)

2. Twilight by Stephenie Meyer.  (I know.  It jumped right up to #2.)


3. Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen.


4. The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger.


5. The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan.


6. Emma by Jane Austen.  (Are you seeing a theme here?)


7. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling. 


8. The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks.


9. And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie.


10. The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi.



When I find favorite authors I tend to stick with them.  That's why I feel the need to branch out, hoping I can get a few suggestions.

There's a reason it's popular right now.

So, let's talk. I know you've been hearing a lot about the book/ movie Twilight, lately. C'mon. Everyone is blogging about it. I am yet another one to discover the amazingness recently (don't question my use of the word "amazingness"). 2 days ago I hadn't read the book, and I hadn't seen the movie. But I did notice the overwhelming amount of bloggers who advertise it on their blogs. Seriously: from one girl to another: you will FREAKING LOVE IT if you like romantic stories. (Actually I should add that I'm not done with the book yet...but I'm loving it currently.) But the movie was awesome. My friend Cara was the first one who introduced me to the book. I seriously hadn't even heard of the entire series until last fall. She is (and has been)....for lack of a better word....obsessed with the series since before Stephanie Meyers even wrote them (haha). Oh and did I tell you that Cara has already claimed Robert Pattinson for herself? So don't try, ladies. He's taken. No bother for me--I recently discovered the villain who is so hot. ("The Villain?? Caroline, what are you thinking?"---Google Cam Gigandet and let me know what you think.) That's about all I wanted to say. I just really encourage you to watch/rent/buy the movie and read the book.
