A Book Meme tag -
A couple of weeks ago, just as I was leaving for my wonderful trip to Dallas, Candace tagged me for a book meme. It's only now that I've had time to think about all the books in my life, so if it's not too late -

One Book That Changed My Life - Simple Abundance by Sarah Breathnack. This book was recommended to me by a stranger in a store and I wish I could thank her for her suggestion.

One Book I've Read More Than once - Gone With the Wind, the book that convinced me I'm a Southerner in my heart. And I kept thinking if I reread it, Scarlett would look up at the right minute and see true love in Rhett's eyes. Did I mention I was very young when I first read it?

One Book I'd Want on a Desert Island - The Book of Common Prayer (especially the 1928 version) - for the serenity it would inspire. In a world and a faith that is in a state of chaos, it's literature and rituals are neverchanging.

One Book That Made Me Laugh - We've Been Through So Much Together (And Most of it Was Your Fault) by Ashleigh Brilliant - Brilliant Thoughts to guide and galvanize you on your journey through life. Author of I May Not Be Totally Perfect, But Parts of Me Are Excellent.

One Book That Made Me Cry - Thread of Grace by Mary Doria Russell. An unbearably realistic story of how terrible a war can be.

One Book I Wish You'd Written - Applique - 12 Easy Ways by Elly Sienkiewicz

One Book I Wish Had Never Been Written - Cape Fear Rising by Philip Gerard. An account, based on fact, of an uprising in Wilmington NC that was begun by the whites and forced almost all of the blacks living and working in the city to leave to avoid being massacred. It is a mark of shame on the city and the south and had to be written, but it should never have happened.

One Book You're Currently Reading - Sacred Time by Ursula Hegi

One Book You've Been Meaning to Read - 13 Moons by Charles Frazier

There it is - better late than never!
