Thanks for coming here and letting me know! I hope you enjoy the books as much as I did.
I actually wrote the author of Heft begging her to do a sequel or something. I still miss the characters!

I’ve been kind of on a reading slump this year, which isn’t like me. But, I appreciate the encouragement and will keep sharing what I read!
Thanks!

Hi there. I discovered your blog through Pinterest when looking for good book recommendations and am working my way through your list. I just finished Heft yesterday and thought it was great. It’s actually a book that I think would make a really powerful movie. Thanks for the suggestions and please keep giving them! I’m in grad school right now and haven’t had the time to read for pleasure since Christmas break (where I just read the HP series for the third time) and now I’m making it a priority to read more often again.

Thanks!

[...] Book Lists – I have desperately neglected reading much for pleasure over the past couple of years. Any reading that I do has to do with homeschooling and now beekeeping. I love hearing what my friends have read and enjoyed and this list from my Kristen of Dine and Dish looks like a great start! [...]

I’ve loved your book posts in the last year – you always read such interesting things and I almost always head over to Amazon to download your recommendations! I look forward to more in 2013 : )

Kristen,
Thank you so much for this list. You have been an inspiration to me to begin reading once again. It will be wonderful to have your “go to” list.

Thanks for the suggestions. I really liked Defending Jacob, probably one of the better books I read last year. We read The Kitchen House in book club and all enjoyed it. The Language of Flowers was also very good. I was just picking book and reserving books from my public library today as so many publishers have listed the best reads for 2012.
