recently I've loved the Host by Stephanie Meyer and the Kite Runner is on my waitlist at the library!
I just finished up My Sister's Keeper and thought it was an amazing book. I read it because I heard they were making a movie out of it. I hope the film does the book justice.
YOu have excellent taste. I just read A Thousand Splendid Suns, and thought it was even better than Kite Runner.
I would love the read The Lovely Bones.

I just finished Iris Johansen's newest book, I think it was called Quickstand, love her books! If you haven't read her yet though, start with some of her oldest books, she weaves her characters together in her books.
I'm sure what I'd want to win, I haven't read any of them. I'd want one of the first two you listed, maybe you could help me decide :)
I love the Mitford Series by Jan Karon - I just reread them! I'd love to The Lovely Bones! Great giveaway! Thanks for offering it!

I have to admit, I'm typically a chick lit reader... so I read Mr. Maybe recently and like it a lot. Fast summer read. However, I also just read 'The Killer Angels' about the civil war and it was really, really good!! A definite must read, even for us non-history buffs. Thanks for the great giveaway - I'd love the Kite Runner. I've read lovely bones, and it was very good.
I'd like to win The Lovely Bones -- it's been on my "To Read" list for ages! My favorite books are the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer, and I can't wait for the release of the new one this weekend. Thanks!

The book I would like to win is The Kite Runner, as I have read the others. Wasn't The Lovely Bones strange and wonderful? The book I am reading now is an old favorite "Fried Green Tomatoes".
I would love to win the Kite runner. I have read Lovely bones in the past. Thats a really good book. Right now I am reading Joyce Meyers The secret to true happiness. It is really a heavy. One where you have to stop and think before you want to begin again. Normally I read much faster but I have been picking up books like this. Thought provoking type.
