hay kadaghan...but i'm into fiction, so..in no part. order:

The shell seekers -- makes u think how much u value your mother and her feelings ( esp when your mother gets old and you have a career on your own) makes you think how have you been doing as a child...

Circle of Friends - - makes you long for the friendships you have and lost...the characters are almost real, u think they live in your neighborhood..

Suzannes diary for nicholas ( james patterson) -- well, nothing beats james patterson man jud( i love all his other novels), pero this book, haay mas nindot pa tingali sa notting hill na movie, makes u think that there's a thing called great "LOVE"..and what makes it interesting kay mystery novel man gud, u cannot predict the ending..but it's a great love story after all...pag andam nalang ug panyo, it's a happy ending man hinuon

A walk to remember by nicholas sparks --(who couldnt agree.. unless bato ang puso nimo)

Anything Dan brown's is a work of art, genius, clever, action packed. You feel wanna include urself, you wanna solve the mysteries first..

24 hours, dead sleep by greg iles

all harry potter's.... trust me, it gets under your skin, ambot lang, i love everything about it-- read them 6x na

Star - danielle steel ( can't forget lng this book, teaches u that there's nothing that hinders you once you dream, anything is possible)

MC nally series by lawrence sanders -- hay, i love archy, he's clever, fabulous and funny!
