I finished Tori’s new book in 3 days! She is such a HOOT and I love her honesty. She has so much going for her yet still encounters problems and difficulties; it’s just so nice to know that her life isn’t as perfect as it might seem. She and I are totally long-lost BFFs.

I love this list! Such fun summertime stuff. I loved reading Water for Elephants, and the Nora Roberts Bride books are quick easy reads! I love any of Kristen Hannah’s books too if you need suggestions, though that’s a pretty full list!

I love summertime. I love all the street festivals that Chicago has to offer every weekend. I also love the smell of Hawaiian Tropic Sunscreen, and walking my pup in the night summer time air. I just finished Chasing Harry Winston. It’s a very cute book! I love Emily Giffin and can’t wait for Something Borrowed to become a movie! They better do a good job with it. I don’t have much time to read for fun because I’m taking a summer class. last weekend, I hosted a little pool party with my sister and some friends and made a very yummy recipe from Recipegirl.com. Here’s the link: http://www.recipegirl.com/2008/05/29/bruschetta-with-peach-salsa-and-melted-brie/ It was a hit and only 2 ww pts per serving.

I have rea a few of those books and just started the Emily Giffin Series… I am on Something Blue, and still hate Darcy at the moment- I have already been told that will change!

Twilight series you will not be able to put them down! I work full time, planning our wedding (4 months left) and I still read all 4 of them in two weeks!

My favorite summer recipe is tomato and Vidalia onion pie! it is the most wonderful thing in the world!!!! it has tomatoes, Vidalia onion, fresh basil, and bacon (only 4 slices) it is topped with Swiss Cheese and baked!
It is a recipe from my grandmother… if you want it please email me! I am the biggest tomato fan ever- if anyone else is then you would love this recipe! kmccracken1030@gmail.com

You MUST read the Twilight series!!!! I thought the hype was silly too until two years ago when I was taking a Philosophy of Horror class and everyone was talking about how good the books were. I went out right after my class to buy the first one and had it read in 3 days. All while in the heart of the semester and taking 5 classes (my grades didn’t suffer : ) ). Stephanie Meyer based Edward partly off of Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice- I think that’s why I liked them so much!

What did you think of Heart of the Matter? I LOVE Emily Giffin but I was a little disappointed. I like her writing style but I thought the plot was a little predictable and there were a lot of cliche things in the book.

I love, love, love Emily Griffin’s books and I can’t wait to read “heart of the matter.” I’m checking out some of the others on your list. I recently read Jenny Sanford’s “Staying True” on a flight home from a work trip, and it was really good. Kind of sad, but really made me think about my relationship with God, and what matters most in life.

I love taking long walks around a lake talking with my husband- it’s the most relaxing thing and we have “quality talks.” In the winter, I tend to get cabin fever and I like personal space, so sometimes we end up going days without a really good talk! Also, sitting by the pool with a good book or trashy magazine. There is nothing like the smell of a pool!

I just finished Bed of Roses and I started Savor the Moment. They are really great and a pretty fast read.
