In High School I really didn't like things that were required reading. However, the one book I really did like was A Tale of Two Cities. The best part was trying to figure out what in the world that old lady was knitting!
I don't read a ton of fiction books now, which probably explains my ho-hum writing ability. Usually I read books on personal finance/investing, growing in my faith, or autobiographies of sports figures.
My "favorite books" (in the fiction category) would be James Patterson's Women's Murder Club series. These are must reads for any mystery buff. Murder, Mystery, Suspense, and Lindsay Boxer rocks. There is a new one that recently came out, but I am #237 on the library hold list, so it could be awhile before I get my hands on it...
Another fiction book I love is Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella. This book made me laugh out loud. Probably because it reminds me of several people I know. And, of course, it has the personal finance angle-- go figure. The movie was absolutely horrible though. Didn't parallel the book much at all. I tried to read some of the other books in the series but didn't finish any of them.
Here are a few on the non-fiction side I recommend...
And, as far as Children's books go... our kids love the Wemmicks series by Max Lucado (and Nancy Drew Clue Crew- gee, I wonder where they got that from?)

Nancy Drew is a HUGE favorite in our house! We can't stop reading them! I think the books you're talking about are Choose Your Own Adventure. I read them and turned my daughter to them and she loves them too!
Oh, and we're in cardinal nation too, just across the river!
Great PIcks! Your blog is too cute! Happy Friday!
They're the choose your own adventure books! I used to love them as well. I would always fold down the pages when I had a choice. That way I could remember to go back and read all the different choices.
