I read a lot of books....A LOT and each year I like to look back and see exactly how many books I read and then determine the ones I liked the best. My list is based only on what I READ and doesn't necessarily mean the books were released or publish during the year.
After reviewing my list I found that I read over 77 books from January through December of 2011 and most of them were enjoyable reads. You'll see a lot of writers who always seem to end up on my list, year after year. I love almost anything written by Michael Lee West, Silas House, Jackie Lee Miles, Mark Childress and Susan Gregg Gilmore and they all make an appearance on this year's list.
I, too, loved Water for Elephants! I typically love the classics & non-fiction, but Water for Elephants was such a fun read and laced with great history - it was easy to get lost in it!
I'm reading The Help now & loving it!

I saw the movie for Water For Elephants . It was a good movie. That guy that Reese was married to in the movie was so mean to the Elephant. I am now reading One for The Money. I want to see the movie when it comes out.

my favorite book is Heaven is For Real by Todd Burpo with Lynn Vincent. I just loved this true story and it touches and teaches the reader along the way.

I just started reading Heaven is for Real by Todd Burpo too! It's good so far. I'm also reading Twilight...I was late to get into that series. But after that I'll go onto the Hunger games series!

I'm currently reading Stephen Kings 11-22-63, it's rather lengthy but like most King books it's good. I'm also reading John Grisham's The Litigators, it's entertaining so far.
