I would never have picked it up if it hadn't been recommended to me by a colleague and I'm so glad I listened to her! Also my list would include the Harry Potter books. My sister convinced me to read them and now they are my favorites.<br /><br />Someone also recommended Kate Morton's books to me and I haven't picked them up yet. I have a feeling I'll love them too.Christina Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756342293865115352noreply@blogger.com
