Another great reading list - this is my first week at Thursday 13 and I now have a long list of books to check out.
Water for Elephants is a great book. My recent favorites include The Help, The Puzzle King, and the Girl Who Fell From the Sky.
I love to read. I don't think I've read any of these. I'll have to check them out!

I've read one from your list, Water for Elephants. So many books so little time!
Water for Elephants. This is the third time I saw this mentioned today. I guess I need to get it. Great list. Happy Belated T13!
Popped in from Aug Chall. I would hard pressed to list 13 favorite books.
First One that comes to mind would be Gone with the Wind.

I find this list interesting, I have not read any of the books listed here! I should probably start with Sick Puppy because I remember seeing it somewhere, either here around the house or in one of my favorite secondhand bookshops.
Thanks! :)
I love to read, but I have not read any of those books. I love Dean Koontz, Sidney Shelton & Mary Higgins-Clark. I recently read Plan B by Pastor Pete Wilson & that was a very good book.

I have only read a few of these books, my favourite one being The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. That book would probably be one of the most brilliant books I have ever read!
Thanks for sharing your list-I will see if I can find some of them for our Spring vacation.
Best wishes,
Natasha.
one of my fav has at the list...
sick puppy by carl hiassen is good book.
I LOVED Lamb! I woke my hubs up numerous times laughing so hard. Have you listened to it on audio? It's even funnier. It's very hard for me to pick a favorite but I will say Manchester House by Donald Kirch is my favorite in the horror genre!
