I love following your little quilts on Mondays!

I listen to audio books when I sew and quilt, so any of those are great. I can listen to mystery, crime, romance or whatever I'm in the mood for that day. I pick up a few at a time from the library when I go, the last one I listened to was girl with a dragon tattoo, my husband saw the movie, one good book I listened too a while ago was shanghai girls plus another one about chinese girls back in the day. both good books

supersara20 said...

I have not read a book in a while because I have been getting ready to move recently. I love Nora Roberts though so I read everything she comes out with!

Mom C said...

Depending on your tastes I've gotten into YA even though I'm a senior citizen. Ally Condie has several good books, John Flanagan is fun. Thanks.

Mom C said...

I'll follow where you lead. Thanks.

South of Broad by Pat Conroy is a good summer/spring read. Since the weather is so warm, maybe I'm rushing the summer reading list. Great descriptions of Charleston, South Carolina and great character development, however the language can be strong at times (just giving you a disclaimer). Personally I don't think it's enough to distract from the book's plot, so I still feel comfortable recommending it.

Nancy Sue said...

I am a follower. Thank you for participating in the blog hop, and a great question to have us answer. Now we all can read your blog comments and get a list of recommended reads :)

Sherry said...

I just finished reading one of the books by Laura Childs, "Agony of the Leaves." She has several series and you can start in the middle but I personally like to start at the beginning! Thanks for the great giveaway!

Linda V said...

If you can get a hold of a copy, my all time favorite book is, "The Long Walk". I see it is available on Amazon again. It was required reading in the 8th grade and I am 60 years old, so that was a LONG time ago. Thanks for the giveaway chance!

Deb said...

You know...I don't really have a book to recommend. Between trying to get some quilting UFOs finished up and beginning to work outside, reading books seems to fall by the wayside. I usually spend any reading time on blogs for more quilting inspiration!
I do enjoy some of the Brandlyn Collins books when I get a chance. Thank you for the giveaway.

Michelle Olsen Sasak said...

I'm a huge fan of the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. There are 18 numbered books & 4 between-the-numbers, so if you like the first book, you'll get hooked and have plenty to read! Thanks for the chance to win.

Jodi - usairdoll said...

Oh what a great giveaway, beautiful fabric and a good book. I have a group of friends and we all share our books. So happy that you are now doing the same. I love reading books that combine quilts and mystery. A few authors I love that have a series are Earlene Fowler, Emilie Richards, Jennifer Chiaverini, Maggie Sefton and Arlene Sachitano. Another fun series and laugh out loud books are by Janet Evanovich. They are not about quilts but still fun.

Thank you for a great giveaway and a chance to win.

Mhairi said...

I love the Elm Creek Series and a number of Australian authors. Most write for teenagers but they are great to read. Margaret Mahy (New Zealand author), Christobel Mattingly and Tamora Pierce are all worth looking at to see if you like them.
Also Cynthia Voigt's Izzy Willy Nilly is a wonderful book.
