Sorry I haven't posted ANY book suggestions. The idea of actually putting my favorite books in order is too overwhelming! Thanks for your picks, though!
I'm so happy for you Maggie!!! I'm going to start reading some of those books, I'm in need of a few distractions. :)
You are an amazing woman! I'm so-oo happy for you. Yay for joyful reunions, and hooray for your family!
Hooray!! Congrats! Where will you land after Alaska?? After reading your top ten books I feel illiterate-this summer I will be jumping back on the book bandwagon starting with your #1.
