Default Best Books Ever...

Ok, so I'm padding my "to read" list and I just really don't want to miss anything super awesome! No pressure LOL!! You don't have to pick like the one single best book of all time, but more like, what are a few of your all time favorites??

I'll have to work on my list now, but one of the books that will always be on my favorite book list as my number one book (since highschool) is Animal Dreams by Barbara Kingsolver -- I have pretty much always read all of her books right as they come out, but Animal Dreams is the book from her that I adore the most, and I feel like it is 100 million times better than the most recent book from her (sorry bk!)

A few other absolute favorites:
Distant Land of My Father by Bo Caldwell
Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger
The Secret Life of Bees and the Mermaid Chair by Sue Monk Kidd
Jewel by Bret Lott
Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
oh and The Help - so so good!

Add to that pretty much anything by Amy Tan and Barbara Kingsolver


I've also LOVED the divergent series (one to go!) and the Hunger Games books although mostly the non games parts LOL, and I totally got sucked in by the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series a bit ago too...

What about you, what are your BEST BEST reads???
