How funny, just yesterday afternoon I told my daughter that I wanted "Prayers for Sale" for mother's day. They always ask, and I always have such a problem finding something. But my oldest (26) loves to buy me a new book whenever possible. (she bought me Water for Elephants on year for Christmas, next to my dog, it was the best gift she ever came up with all on her own!)

It looks really good, so have added it to my ever growing TBR file. ~So many books, so little time~ Anyone read it?
As for my reading spot of choice, I can-and usually do-read anytime, anywhere. But I must say my fave place is outside, preferably in my hammock, or while picknicking on a blanket somewhere. I also love reading at the beach while on holiday. Nothing like the soothing sound of the waves, seagulls and laughter to enhance a lovely story.
Dog On It was great! Actually I thought of our dog when I saw the cover; we have a border collie!! And Prayers for Sale is on my TBR list.
And here's a question...when an author has many books out, not necessarily a series, do you think it is better/good to go back and start reading them "in order"; read the ones that came before, then the new one?
BTW if you liked Water for Elephants, I think you would like Hannah's Dream by Diane Hammond.

I cant wait to read Prayer for Sale. I read Tallgrass last month and loved it. I think Sandra Dallas is a great author.
But, you can remove the parts of the post you aren't replying to. Quote the post, then cut the parts that don't pertain to your reply. Just be careful not to cut out too much.

Anytime :-)It's a handy habit when the discussion on the book starts since you'll be referencing other people's posts... it helps lesson the confusion when it's included.Though some quote chains can get messy and too long.
So many wonderful indications of books. "A life is too short for so many books". Dog on it and Prayers for Sale have been indicated for a lot of people. I'd like to read them very much, but it's a bit complicated to buy books cause I'm from Brazil, overseas. Shippings are very high, dolar is too expensive if we compare currency, and we still take risks of paying importation taxes. So, I'd love to share information with you about most of these books you indicate but it's a far distant dream for me.
gl, suspense, mistery and horror books are among my favorite ones. My confession is: I love books, anyway.

I love books that involve history and fiction. The mixture of history and literature is fantastic. The name of the rose, by Umberto Eco is one my favorite ones. There's another great book which I'd like hardly to be indicated:
It's that 6 degress of separation thing. If a debchair signs up it's going to get interesting.
