"You can't get a cup of tea coffee big enough or a book long enough to suit me." C. S. Lewis
I must confess that I am an avid reader. When I was younger, it was not unusual for me to be so involved in a book that I was oblivious to what was happening. My burning toast has set off the smoke alarm far too many times to count. I am fortunate to have a Kindle and so there is always a book waiting for me to read at any moment of the day. Here is a list of books that I read in 2011 that I thought about long after I turned the last page.
My (not so) Story Book Life, by Elizabeth Owen
Grace for the Good Girl, by Emily Freeman
The Hunger Games Trilogy, by Suzanne Collins
The School of Essential Ingredients, by Erica Bauermeister
Poke the Box, by Seth Godin
Dwelling Place, by Elizabeth Musser
The Mill River Recluse, by Darcie Chan
Loving Frank, A Novel, by Nancy Horan
The Provence Cure for the Brokenhearted: A Novel by Bridget Asher
Winter Sea, by Susanna Kearsley
One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are, by Ann Voskamp
Little Bee, by Chris Cleave
Room: A Novel, by Emma Donoghue

thanks for stopping by my blog, it looks like you have a good list going. I'll seek out the book your recommend.
Donna, I was reading through your list of books and noticed one that I'm currently reading, Little Bee, actually I've just started it, and another that I've been wanting to read The Winter Sea.
This is a great list and we've read similar books. Are there a few that you'd recommend more than others? I'm currently putting my list together for 2012. Thanks!
