Today's Writing Prompt: Best Book
What's the best book you've read recently?
Usually the best book I've read is whichever one I am currently reading. I actually have a huge list of favourites. Among the old stand-bys are Gone with the Wind and Vanity Fair and just about anything by Jane Auel. Right now I am reading the Outlander series . . . which I had never heard of until my sister told me about the series on TV. I'm already on the second book.
The only blog I posted today was this one: http://inmyworld-pam.blogspot.ca/2014/01/knitting-up-storm.html
