Thursday Thirteen -13 of My Favorite Books

In no particular order, 13 of my favorite books. I only put a very brief description here but if you go to my Barb's goodreads you can see my full review of these books.

1. Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. About an older man in a nursing home remembering back when he was working with the circus.
2. True Colors by Kristin Hannah. About three sisters, their struggles and owning a horse farm.
3. The Fairlawn Series by Angela Hunt. The first book is called Doesn't She Look Natural. Three books about a women who gets inherited a funeral home.
(I just discovered Angela Hunt and am loving her books and writing.)
4. The Scarlet Thread by Francine Rivers. Two women, two different time periods but very much alike.
5. Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill. A heart shaped box gets delivered with a suit inside that haunts someone. A ghostly tale.
6. Against Medical Advice by James Patterson and Hal Friedman. A wonderful look and better understanding into Tourette's Syndrome.
7. The Penny by Joyce Meyer. A book about the struggles of two children when whites and blacks at the time weren't allowed to play together.
8. The Next Level by David Gregory. This is a book to see what getting to the next level will bring when you believe in God.
9. A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson. Walk along the Mid-State Trail with two older men and see how they survive each other.
10. A Can of Peas, Aprons on a Clothesline and Dandelions in a Jelly Jar, A series of books by Traci DePree. Traci makes you feel like your right there with the family living in a small town.
11. Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford. The book goes back and forth between Henry growing up in 1942 and then much later in 1986. It's also about a love story between a Chinese boy and a Japanese girl who grew up together in a time when they weren't allowed to be together.
12. Change of Heart by Jodi Picoult. A prisoner murders one daughter and wants to give his heart to the sister. I also read Salem Falls by Jodi Picoult, a good book also.
13. Scrapbook Page Maps by Becky Fleck. Had to throw in one about scrapbooking because this is the best scrapbook book I've gotten in a long while. I like that it has cards in the back with the sketches on that you can tear out of the book and take along with you to crops.
