Definitely difficult to narrow the list down! <br /><br />Yesterday's Tomorrow was sure powerful! Thank you for intriguing me with your awesome review! :)<br /><br />Happy New Year to you, too!<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-70063085272316185992012-01-01T19:53:28.481-07:002012-01-01T19:53:28.481-07:00Hehehe love that you had 11 books too, there was n...Hehehe love that you had 11 books too, there was no way I was narrowing my best books list to just 10.

I haven't seen The Help yet, but I've been hearing some good things about it. :) The Titanic is great, too - just so, so sad. It should be interesting checking out the new Titanic books coming out this year in honor of the 100th anniversary of the tragedy.<br /><br />Happy New Year to you, as well, dear friend! :)<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-69517367181409962562011-12-31T19:22:36.976-07:002011-12-31T19:22:36.976-07:00Christina B,

I love all 3 of her books so far, and I'm eagerly awaiting the first book in her upcoming series!<br /><br />I think you'd really enjoy A Lasting Impression. :) It's a little long, but so well-written, with plenty of great details and (of course!) a sweet romance.<br /><br />Thank you for checking out my list, and I'm glad I could help introduce you to some new books!<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-22062232985818491082011-12-31T15:18:22.618-07:002011-12-31T15:18:22.618-07:00Great list Amber!

I've read a couple of those, and have a couple more waiting on my shelf. <br /><br />Some of my favorites books that I read in 2011 are The Frontiersman's Daughter, The Colonel's Lady, The Doctor's Lady, A Heart Revealed, and Surrender the Heart.<br /><br />I don't watch a lot of movies, but The Help is a favorite for this year. Actually, I think that movie has moved it's way into my top 5 favorite movies of all time. The others are Titanic, Steel Magnolias, Forrest Gump, and Fried Green Tomatoes. : )<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your favorite books -- I'll definitely be adding some of those to my TBR pile.<br /><br />Happy New Year!<br />MichelleMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06111576612128164411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-33211733211619411012011-12-30T19:48:08.407-07:002011-12-30T19:48:08.407-07:00Ok, am I the only one who hasn't read The Rive...Ok, am I the only one who hasn't read The River of Time series? I'm seriously lagging here... :) <br /><br />LOVE The Colonel's Lady-anything by Laura Frantz is a winner. I've also read some of Tamera Alexander's books, though not A Lasting Impression, and will say, she writes compelling stories. <br /><br />The rest on your list look like good reads, so I'll have to check them out! Thanks for sharing some titles I hadn't heard of before. :)Christina Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868104433001898391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-40043248975083804822011-12-30T16:27:50.078-07:002011-12-30T16:27:50.078-07:00P.S.

Knowing just HOW MANY books you read, that's quite an honor. I'm so thankful for you and all the effort you put into your blog, your own novels, college, and yet STILL find time to support Christian authors. I've gotten to know quite a few authors I wouldn't have before through you and thank you so much for that. We need a million more Ambers! God bless you today and always.Laura Frantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067252948999879024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-84278351041229786512011-12-30T08:08:53.262-07:002011-12-30T08:08:53.262-07:00I've had Christmas break laziness, too!
