What is the best book (as in - your personal favorite) you have posted on your bookshelf right now? Mine would have to be this one, I am only posting this copy because I found a hard copy for my keeper shelf.
The Stolen Child What is yours? |

Caviglia - that does look good, I have added it to my reminder list. |

Dancing on the Edge by Han Nolan might be the best but it would be a hard choice. I also have The Last Picture Show by Larry McMurtry and that was a pretty good read. and also The Sweet Hereafter by Russell Banks. |

Just finished this and thought it was excellent. Good mystery, legal thriller with lost of twists and well written. Mary Anne The Jury Master |

The problem with me, is that I tend to keep my favorite books. I wouldn't put them on my bookshelf. I really enjoyed Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. I didn't want it to end.

Every now and then, you will find a book that is so well written you don't want it to end. You will caress the cover every time you pick it up and every time you put it down. Just such a book is BREAKING CLEAN by Judy Blunt. It is her first book, and alas her only book. Being raised in my early years on a farm, while not quite as many years ago as Judy, I can appreciate the tone of the book, but since I love books with lots of dialog, I was surprised to find myself so enthralled with this book about the hardscrabble (what a luscious word!) life on the prairies of eastern Montana in prose as big and bold as the landscape. If you love Amy Tan, Alice Munro, Billie Letts and Rohington Mistry - you will love this book! And if you haven't read Rohington Mistry - you must get your hands on A FINE BALANCE. Munro

I love books with lots of dialog You might like Rachel Ingalls. Most people think her book Mrs Caliban is the best. I really liked Binstead's Safari also. She uses dialog and interior monolog to move the story. very little descriptions of settings. |

btw, how did you get your book image and info to show in your post? I (incorrectly) assumed that using the link button would do it. |

Michael, I cut and paste, sometimes it works, but not always, I am no expert. I hope you enjoy The Stolen Child, but you must have ordered the next one in line, b/c I didn't get a request. And Welcome! |

I tend to keep my books that i consider GOOD until I have let them sit and mellow like good so that i can read them again after 3-4 years but one of my favorite authors is Modessit. He writes very good coming of age fantasy with some military and survival action. Just pick any of his series but make sure ioo read them in order |

I keep my favorites too, but I am running out of space! I do like to loan out copies of ones that I love to talk about, especially with my book club in the neighborhood. |
