I've asked for book suggestions before, and you guys always seem to have great taste! This time, it's serious!!!! I just finished "The Time Traveler's Wife" last night around 2:00 am, and after many tears (yes, many!!!), I am depressed and totally missing this book. Only a few other books have made me cry like that: the Mark of the Lion series (those of you who've read them are totally nodding in agreement), and "One Child" by Tori Hayden. I need something *REALLY* good to get into. It's my escape! I have a pile of books next to my bed, but nothing's grabbing me.
Will be v. sad until I get back into something. I'm willing to except that few characters are as sexy as Henry (did anyone else think he was sexy? Or maybe I'm just weird?), but I suppose any book you liked will do! :-)
Posted by Hannah at February 10, 2007 11:28 AMWow ~ *so* glad that you enjoyed the book. I just couldn't get into it for some reason! All of the time shifts and everything!
Posted by: lisanne at February 10, 2007 03:11 PMI've mentioned it is my favorite book in the world. After finishing it, I thought about it every single night while I was going to sleep, for about two weeks.
I've never found characters to get into like I did with those two... it touched me like no other book ever has.
I would recommend the Outlander series if you haven't tried it. However it doesn't grab you right off the bat... takes a while to get into it.
Posted by: Laura at February 10, 2007 06:52 PMI'm not sure if you have ever read it but my all time favourite book is 'The Power of One' by Bryce Courtenay. I could not put it down! I have the sequel 'Tandia' here to read but haven't got around to it yet. :)
Posted by: Trace at February 10, 2007 08:28 PMI too LOVED the Time Traveler's Wife. They're making a movie about it and I think it's coming out in a year or so. Two books that I really enjoyed were the Kite Runner and The Red Tent.
Posted by: Jennifer Lewis at February 10, 2007 09:58 PMOh, I read Power of One many years ago and LOVED it!! Also, my all time fav is the Red Tent but I think you've read that, didn't we talk about it once? Wally Lamb's I know this much is true is also amazing. We should do a book swap and just mail our favorites back and forth!
Posted by: girl from florida at February 10, 2007 10:48 PMThere is a book called the Sunday Wife that is really good....I forget who wrote it though! I'm a fan of quirky girly fun books by Jane Green or Jennifer Wiener. They are fun books to read!
Posted by: Sara at February 12, 2007 02:25 PMHave you read 90 Minutes in Heaven yet? I'm picking it up tomorrow. Its written by a man who was declared dead, traveled the road to heaven and then regained life shortly after. If I recall correctly he was in a car accident and sustained some very serious injuries. They were really raving about it on the radio.
Posted by: Jessica at February 12, 2007 07:58 PMI loved The Other Boleyn Girl and The Queen's Fool, both by Philippa Gregory, both historical fiction.
