It sounds perfect for any time of life, actually!<BR/><BR/>I had an ancient copy of Wuthering Heights once...I LOVED to hold that thing while I read it, too. What a feeling. (I'm not sure I could see the print, now, however. Plus I don't own it any more.)<BR/><BR/>As to cookies: this year, in honor of some liver-cleansing friends of mine, I found a recipe for Coconut Blueberry Muffins. Oh my, they were wonderful...made with coconut flour and coconut milk, no wheat, no dairy, organic, etc. So it was muffins for us this year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-1166634845941124992006-12-20T12:14:00.000-05:002006-12-20T12:14:00.000-05:00I have really enjoyed reading all your (Kim, Jessi...I have really enjoyed reading all your (Kim, Jessica and Jackie's) favorites. Made me go pull out my dog-earred copy of the book I've read more than any other, my 1904 edition of Freckles by Gene Stratton-Porter. I probably read it for the first time when I was about eight, and I have reread it at least yearly since then, so guess I'll call it my "comfort read." There's something almost mystical about holding a book in my hands that's over a hundred years old and finding a romance inside the pages that rings true even now.Kate Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05486916548114546095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-1166633063820351902006-12-20T11:44:00.000-05:002006-12-20T11:44:00.000-05:00Great choices, Jacky.

As I was still obsessing about this topic before I went to sleep last night :-D (PLEASE do not start a favorite Christmas cookie thread; I will never get any rest), I realized no one had mentioned Elizabeth Berg yet. Glad to see her this morning.<BR/><BR/>I just read a really fine women's fiction--Jennie Shortridge's EATING HEAVEN. It came highly recommended. I avoided for months, because it deals with cancer, care taking a loved one and emotional cooking/eating. Been there, cried that. I liked Lolly Winston's GOOD GRIEF, though--anyone read that?--and kept hearing this was just as funny and poignant, so I finally picked it up and thoroughly enjoyed it. The author is on-the-money realistic with a great voice and wonderfully quirky perspective. It's a NAL Accent. Interesting line. <BR/><BR/>What are your favorites in women's fiction?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-1166630900436610352006-12-20T11:08:00.000-05:002006-12-20T11:08:00.000-05:00TALK BEFORE SLEEP left me in a puddle of tears, to...TALK BEFORE SLEEP left me in a puddle of tears, too. I remember reading it while on a long bus ride, and I kept having to take reading breaks so that I wouldn't end up sobbing in my neighbor's lap. Great book.<BR/><BR/>And the KITE RUNNER is the best book I read this year, too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-1166626609612427112006-12-20T09:56:00.000-05:002006-12-20T09:56:00.000-05:00I recently discovered Eckhart Tolle as a nonfictio...I recently discovered Eckhart Tolle as a nonfiction author...very interesting ideas, I must say.
