Hi Jessica! I borrowed this book meme from you for my blog, and I enjoyed doing it. It's an interesting mix of books!

I've read the Dan Brown books as well as "The Lovely Bones," and "Memoirs of a Geisha", thanks to a book club I was in. My kids and I love the Harry Potter books. I really enjoyed Outlander and several of the following books in the series. I loved and highly recommend Barbara Kingsolver's books of essays and her novels, but "The Poisonwood Bible" is very different and I had mixed feeling about it.

As I said on my blog, this book meme may inspire me to read some books I've always meant to, as well as others that are entirely new to me.
