It was a reread for me. The first time many years ago I couldn't put it down. It was the same this time, too. Vision in White by Nora Roberts: Great beach read 1st in a quartet it says...can't wait for the rest. Wedding Photography by Steve Sint: Very informal as to all that goes into wedding photography. Good book for brides to read and for photographers to read as well. Guardian by Nicholas Sparks: Great book. Held my interest. Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien: Tolkien is by far my favorite author of all time. He creates worlds and characters that are so captivating that you wish you could be there to share in the adventure. 2:50:07 PM
