Here are the ones that they named that I have read:
The Help - LOVED IT
The Mitford Series books - SO wonderful end easy and sweet!
Chronicles of Narnia - Classics
The Shape of Mercy - SO good
Chasing Lilacs - WONDERFUL
Redeeming Love - One of my favorites of all time
Eat, Love and Pray - So much better than the movie
Here are some they suggested that I haven't read:
Crazy Love - I have it but haven't read it.
The Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich
The Jack Reader series by Lee Child

The Power of the Blood
Downpour by James McDonald
I Know This Much is True

So I'm looking at the second list and trying to decide. Do you have any suggestions? Have you read any of the second list? Help! And have a wonderful summer. Pick up a book if you haven't read in a while!

Hey Robbie, even though I'm the one who suggested The Same Kind of Different as Me over on Facebook, let me plug it again. It is absolutely one of the best books I've ever read. It will move you to tears. And the writing is superb. Put this one at the top of your list :)
p.s. I've got a post planned (for next week I think) in honor of summer reading, too. Always fun to talk books, huh?
Cheryl, Done and done! Thank you!
I read the first of the Stephanie Plum series and I found it trite and offensive... maybe I'm a literary prude, but it is not something I would waste time on, for sure. Not at all edifying.
I'm thinking you've probably read the James Herriot books, but if not, you must. Those always mean summer to me. :-)
