THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATOO by Stieg Larsson
I'm about 3/4 of the way through this book and, like everyone around me reading it, cannot put it down. Excellent, suspenseful, amazingly intricate. The first in a series of three. Also buy, The Girl Who Played With Fire and The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest.
THE LOST SYMBOL by Dan Brown
The DaVinci Code was amazing. It's sequel, Angels & Demons was equally captivating. The Lost Symbol is the the 3rd in a must-read series!
THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE by Audrey Niffenegger
A romance with unique time-traveling concepts. Fantasty, fairy tale, horror, and love story in one.
THE SHACK by William P. Young
Finished this in just 2 days. Reminds you of the importance of relationships in everyday life.
TWILIGHT saga by Stephenie Meyer
A fantastic book series that that not only has Moms talking but could actually get your young teen reading! Perfect for ages 9 to 90. Get all 4 in the series: Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn.
Check out my own personal review published at AC:
