All About Books
My favorite tagger is at it again! This time the topic is books. I usually spend a lot of my time during the summer reading. I love to go to the library and bring home a stack of books. This summer I wasn't able to do that with the school work I've had, and I missed it. Next summer will be different!
A book that changed my life - The Other End of the Leash, Patricia McConnell
The dog trainer I hired to work with Buffy and me a couple summers ago recommended this one. I understand my dogs much better because of it and know how to communicate with them more effectively.
A book I have read more than once - The Best School Year Ever, Barbara Robinson
I read this book to my students at the beginning of every school year. I never tire of the Herdmans' shenanigans.
A book to take with me on a deserted island - The Bible
What other book could you read over and over and still learn something new each time? It's a timeless classic! ;-)
A book that made me laugh - Marley & Me, John Grogan
I laughed so hard that I could hardly breathe!
A book that made me cry - The Time Travelers Wife, Audrey Niffenegger
This is a beautiful and amazing story.
A book I wish had been written - How to Lose Weight While Still Enjoying Wine & Cheese
Need I say more?
A book I wish had never been written - Mein Kampf, Evil Nazi Guy
I never read it, but I tried to think of something that led to much pain and destruction; something the world would have been better off if it and its author had never existed.
A book I am currently reading - Sadly, nothing...
I don't have a lot of time right now. :-(
A book I am planning on reading - ???
Do you have any recommendations? I should have some free time for reading in March 2007 - that's when my master's will be completed.
***** Bonus *****
A book series I highly recommend - The Outlander Series, Diana Gabaldon
It's got a little bit of everything. Warning: these books are highly addictive!
People who are now tagged - all book lovers!

I LOVED the Time Traveler's Wife and would highly recommend the book I just finished reading for my on-line book blog, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan.

OMG!!! I need a man like "Jamie"!
I'm a fan of "pseudo-historical" fiction...have you read Here Be Dragons by Sharon Kay Penman. I traveled through Wales after reading that...sigh... =) I also really enjoyed Snow Flower. Two others in this genre are Inheritance by Lan Samantha Chang and one I got today, My Half of the Sky by Jana McBurney-Lin.

Thanks for sharing. My Mom has read the Outlander Series!
I recommend "Falling Leaves" a Chinese Cinderella Story. It was moving.

I'm currently reading "The Waiting Child". I just started it last night and I'm half way through the book already. I know for most this is probably not a big thing for me its huge because I don't read that often. Anyway, so far it's been a WONDERFUL book and I highly recommend it

Thanks for all the suggestions!
I have read "Falling Leaves" and "The Waiting Child" which are both great reads, but I think I'm going to have to look for these others at the library the next time I'm there.
