so what do you all think?

first of all what do you all think about the new template...i'm not sure i like it. i may just play around with the colors a bit, but i don't know.

second: does anyone have any recommendations of books they might have heard of by any of these authors, that have not been made into a movie?

-Barbra Kingslover
-Amy Tan
-Jan Karon
-Alexander McCall Smith
-Francine Rivers
-Tim Dekker
-Sandra Cisneros
-Dan Brown
-Kaye Gibbons
-Ernest Gains
-Catherine Marshall
-Frank Peretti
-LaVyrle Spencer
-Agatha Christie
-Phyllis Whitney
-Ursula LeGuin

i have only ever heard of like five of them.

so, if any one has any suggestions about the books or the blog....feel free to recommend! :)

Barbara Kingsolver: "The Bean Trees"
or
Agatha Christie: "Ten Little Indians" although that might already have been made into a movie. Great book, though.

Speaking of horror movies... ;)

jan karon- wrote the mitford series. good, but if you like action books will be a little borring
dekker/peretti- they wrote house together. it was cool
catherine marshall- didnt i lend you christy last year? that was by her. at this very moment i am sitting with a book of hers in my lap:) called julie. very good, but christy has to be one of my favorite books.

Amy Tan: The Kitchen God's Wife is good, so is the Joyluck Club

Dekker: Thr3e was amazing!!! It's really suspensful. And yeah August's right about House-- if you want a spine chilling Dekker/Peretti book go with that!

love the blog, love the orange...

FRANCINE RIVERS... by far, hands down...
okay, i am going to recommend this, but it comes with a caution... it's emotionally INTENSE, and other stuff too. a little long, but i guarantee you'll finish it in two days, its that good... it's called Redeeming Love. if you don't read it now, you have to read it sometime...
yup yup
