“The Book Thief” by Markus Zusak
“Fall on Your Knees” Ann-Marie MacDonald
Both my favourites!! Amazing images that will never leave my mind, both beautiful and disturbing. Amazing character development in both books, that has left me feeling like I have known the characters my whole life!
I’m reading The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafron and it’s very good. I’m getting impatient though, because I want to get to the conclusion of the mystery but in true gothic novel fashion it’s taking a while :)

I second “History of Love” by Nicole Krauss
Audrey Niffenegger (author of “The Time-Traveler’s Wife”) just came out with a new book “Her Fearful Symmetry.” I’m dying to read it.
I just read The Shadow of the Wind and 100 Years of Solitude – both incredible!
Firefly Lane, by Kristin Hannah.
The Nantucket Island Chamber of Commerce is taking bids on a Nantucket Experience Auction that features brunch with Elin Hilderbrand and a weekend filled with fun! Bidding ends in mid-April. For details, visit: http://www.nantucketchamber.org/visitor/nanexperienceauction.html
Fans of Elin Hilderbrand might want to this out — brunch with Elin on beautiful Nantucket Island!
I just read the most incredible book on my honeymoon, that has already been recommended, but again, you will ADORE…
“The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society” by Mary Ann Shaffer
Don’t be fooled by the name, it’s the sweetest book about an island in the english channel during WWII, and how the love of books brings people together. It’s told through a series of letters. Run, don’t walk to the bookstore!
I recommend Victoria by Knut Hamsun. 2009 is the official year of Hamsun in Norway and Victoria really is one of the greatest love stories you’ve never heard of. It is stunningly heartbreaking but at the same time it really makes you believe in love.
I just finished reading “The Slap”. Fabulous.
Just finished “Vanished” by Joseph Finder. I found parts of it beyond credulity, and by the end I was flipping through quickly just to get to the end, but it was definitely a page-turner. Am about to start the latest Dismas Hardy book, and in the non-fiction category am reading a review copy of a great book on our unconscious and how it influences our lives: What you Don’t Know You Know. It goes into all kinds of interesting topics, including how we come to decisions and the hidden forces behind it.
Oh if you like Jhumpa Lahiri (and I do, too), also read “The God of Small Things” by Arundhati Roy. It is about love and growing up and the caste system in India and grief and hilarity. . . it’s brilliantly creative and beautiful, and it will break your heart into a million pieces.
Though it would be easier to recommend books to you if we knew what you already liked, too.
