Today's Top Ten Thursday is Favorite Books and is hosted by In the Mommy Trenches. I'm super excited about this top ten because I love to read. It really gets in the way sometimes because I put off household chores to read...Anyway here are my top ten in no particular order:
Water For Elephants by Sara Gruen- This book is by far one of the best books I've read in a long time. It's funny, sad, sweet, and has everything you look for in a good book! I had a hard time putting this one down.
Twilight Saga by Stephanie Meyer- If you haven't read the twilight books..just break down and do it. They make you feel like you're young and in love. And if you can't fall in love with Edward then we can't be friends....
Sara's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay- I'm really in to historical Fiction books and this one was really good. It's about a little girl who lives through the holocaust. It's a mystery with a love story twisted into it!
The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory- This book was awesome! Again, it's Historical Fiction..My favorite. It's about Anne Boleyn and her sister and the reign of King Henry VIII. (She's the one who he left the Church for so he could divorce his wife and marry Anne) There are three or four other books that go along with this book and I highly recommend all of them, The Boleyn Inheritance and the Constant princess are the two I have read but there are a few more.
Rebecca-Daphne DuMaurier I had to read this in High School and Loved it so much I've re-read it and even read the sequel. All my friends made fun of me because in High School you are supposed to hate to read and buy the cliff notes instead. It's a great Love mystery that is very dark and mysterious. 
The Time Travelers Wife- Audrey Niffenegger -Love this book!! I really want to see the movie now that it has been made. It's hard to put down and sometimes a little confusing but a very fun read and has everything you look for in a book, happiness, sadness,mystery, action, love, etc. 
Pride and Prejudice-Jane Austen Who doesn't love reading about Mr. Darcey & Elizabeth? I love this era of big dresses and fancy parties. This love story is amazing. The movie they made from this book was actually pretty close to the book, I enjoyed it!
Harry Potter-J.K. Rowling- I'm such a kid! These are so much fun to read! I started reading them when I was in Junior High and Loved the magic and fun it brings to the reader. The movies were all good but are nothing compared to the book. I can't believe how creative J.K. Rowling is!!
My Sister's Keeper-Jodi Picoult- This is a really good, it is a glimpse into lives of a family dealing with Cancer of a child. It's a real life story that is a tear jerker but with lots of laughs. 
Zoo Keepers Wife: A war Story-Diane Ackerman Another historical fiction book, and it's actually based on a true story. It's extremely interesting and is about the zoo keepers in Warsaw (I think) during WWII and how they helped their friends and country. Well That's my favorite 10 books, there are a million more but I just can't sit here and talk about books all day...

I'm so glad you joined in on the fun. I haven't read alot of those but they are all definitely books I would read.
That picoult book is my mother's current favourite author. I am not really a fan of heavy books that make you cry buckets. Last one of those I read was the notebook. great book just too many tears *L*
Oh my gosh, I love that you included pictures in your top ten list! Now, when I go to the store to check them out, I will have a reference! :-)
What a great list, I loved sooooo many of these books and most of the ones I haven't read are on my TBR list for sure!
I was going to get Water For Elephants when I was at the library the other day because you suggested it... but it was out. It's on my list and I have some of these other books on my shelf waiting to be read. I read too much haha... and like you I neglect things that need to get done.
Too bad I just did a post of my ten favorite books the other day or I would have joined in. Maybe I will do my next ten favorite. :)
