8 Books I’ve recently or currently reading:
1. Beauty by Robin McKinley. My very favorite book, ever. I think I've read it 20 times. It's a retelling of Beauty and the Beast.
2. Water for Elephants. One of the best books I've ever read. Both disturbing and beautiful. Amazing for a debut novelist.
3. Candy Girl by Diable Cody. My New Year's resolution last year was to read more non-fiction. This account of a stripper in Minneapolis didn't fail. And she won a FRIGGIN' OSCAR for her screenplay, JUNO.
4. Marley and Me. I have never laughed so hard or cried so hard or read so many passages aloud. LOVED it.
5. CURRENTLY READING: Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
6. CURRENTLY READING: Murder Game by Beverley Barton
7. ON THE DOCKET: Kingdom Keepers by Ridley Pearson
8. JUST IN FROM THE LIBRARY: Killing Fear by Allison Brennan (need to go pick it up, actually...)

8 Songs I could listen to over and over:
1. "Hips Don't Lie" by Shakira. I hit my first 300 on Wii Bowling to this song. Holds a special place in my heart since it brought me to my knees.
2. "This Woman's Work" by Kate Bush. I dunno. Just like it.
3. "Wake Up Call" by Maroon 5. Always catchy.
5. "Walkin' in Memphis" by Marc Cohn Favorite song, ever.
6. "I Don't Want to Be" by Gavin DeGraw.
7. "Jessie's Girl" by Rick Springfield. Takes me back to the sorority house (even though it was old back then!).
8. "Brown Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison. Fun fun fun.

(Suzanne, I'm changing your last category...)
