    I had rotary cuff surgery back in nov for a tear and have had my arm in a big big sling for 7 weeks, and was constantly tired and its hard as heck to hold a book open with one hand..NOW I have the sling off and can lift 2 pounds!! so I am back to reading but boy DID I MISS IT lol. I am currently reading all of my daughters books (mostly R.L.Stine stuff that I read as a teen LOL) just because I have run out of things to read. I hope to buy an ereader this year (Walmart has them down to $88) and hope that I can catch up

    so for me 2012 is a read whatever you can get your hands on type of year

    • Dawn says

      Wow! I am sorry to hear that! Glad you are feeling better now, though! Hope you fully recover quickly!

      If you are looking for good small book suggestions – how about “Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck, “1984” by George Orwell or “Bridge to Terabithia” by Katherine Patterson, if you haven’t read either of those. 🙂

  2. Beverly Abrego says

    Hopefully I will be reading this new Stephen King book. 🙂 Love his writing and stories. Some recent ones I have read of his were Under the Dome and Duma Key. Both great stories!

    • Dawn says

      I bought 2 copies, one for me and one for this giveaway and I am currently reading mine. I have to say, it is really good, so far. 🙂 I have read 15-20 of his books, but neither of those. Several people have suggested “Under the Dome” to me, i need to check it out! My personal fave is “The Stand.”

      Good luck!

      Dawn

  5. Katrina Page says

    Ok, I can’t remember the name of the book but it’s the 3rd book in the Feed trilogy. Yay for books about zombies and conspiracies.

  6. Dara Nix says

    I don’t really keep up all that much with what books are coming out, because I don’t really have any favorite authors. However, since I have read most of his books, I am looking forward to getting to read Stephen King’s “11/22/63”!

    • Dawn says

      That is definitely on my “to read” list this year, too! Like you, I haven’t seen the movie, either.

      Dawn

  10. Carolyn Ann Colley (Griffith, Smith) says

    really had not thought too much about any certain book to read, but would love to win these books, thanks for the giveaway

    • Dawn says

      I have read a ton of his books and John Grisham’s because they are so consistently good. The only 2 Stephen King books that I wished I had missed are “Tommyknockers” and “Dark Half.” All the others were so good, it was worth it reading those two! 🙂

      Dawn

      • Jason Sargent says

        Couldn’t agree more on Tommyknockers (although I kind of liked Dark Half). “It” will always be his magnum opus to me.

        • Dawn says

          I just finished “11/22/63” and it was soooo good! I hope to read “It” at some point this year!

          Dawn

  12. Debbie Lamb - DeDa Studios says

    I would love to win Out of Oz! His books are hard reads but I love them!

    • Dawn says

      I can’t say I have read any of his! I will have to check one out soon. I only have a couple of books in this series. I am hoping to get them all before starting. 🙂

      Good luck!

    • Dawn says

      Ooh, I saw that on another blog as a giveaway and read that! It looked very interesting! Enjoy!

    • Dawn says

      Do you know what it is called? I have read the first 4 and am in the process of reading “Bree Tanner” but my daughter says there is one out from Edward’s perspective.

      Dawn

  16. Susan Vaughn says

    It’s horrible because I don’t know what books are coming out. I usually just walk down the aisle and pick the one that peaks my interest.

  21. Erin Cash says

    I would be most excited about reading “Out of Oz”. Since I have already read Wicked, Son of a Witch, Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister and Mirror Mirror. Just have to finish A Lion among Men.

  22. Mimi Hayden says

    Actually, 11/22/63 is on my list. I love Stephen King and I’ve heard good things about this book. Thanks for the chance!

  23. Michael M says

    I am looking forward to reading the Stephen King book you are giving away hopefully I will win then I won’t have to buy it!Great giveaway thanks.

  24. Maegan Morin says

    So far i really want to read Everneath and the 3rd book in the Blacklight Chronicles by John Forrester (he’s still writing it so it may not even be this year lol)

  25. Dawn Doyle aka dawnmomoffour says

    Oh my! I can’t pick a favourite, I read way too much for that LOL I am really enjoying the Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton and the Black Dagger Brotherhood Series by JR Ward right now that is for sure 😉
    Thanks for the awesome giveaway! I love Stephen King!

  26. Jeannie says

    I have a book I just got about Wild Bill Donovan the former head of the CIA. I have read other books mentioning him but this is the first book just strictly about him. He was such a character and I love biographies so I looking forward to reading this.

  27. Carol L. says

    I would love to win Steven King’s 11/23/63 for my daughter. An awesome read. I can’t wait to read Allie Mackay’s Haunted Warrior.

    I am currently reading “The Hungergames” and I love it

    • Dawn says

      A bunch of people were picking that as their favorite Stephen King book in the giveaway, so we went and purchased it this morning! Thanks for the suggestions, everyone!

      Dawn

  31. Catherine says

    I’m most excited about reading the pile of books that have been collecting from the last few years that I seem to be too busy to get to!

  33. Terri says

    The book I’m really looking forward to reading is one that my husband has read & highly recommends. Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand (author of Seabiscuit)

  34. jennifer dansberger jones says

    I still haven’t read Red Queen so thats first, then maybe try and find another john jakes book I haven’t read.

  37. brandy boone says

    I have read “Wicked” and “Son of a Witch”, so I am totally looking forward to reading “Out of Oz!” Thanks for the chance

  39. Marlene V says

    I am super behind my reading — I do want to finish the harry potter series and read the last book.

  43. Miranda Gill says

    i am most excited about the new JR Ward book coming out in March, Lover Reborn.. can’t wait!!!

  45. Lisa Sarmiento says

    I’m getting ready to read Fit Moms for Life. It should be coming in the mail anytime now. 🙂

    • Dawn says

      I actually got that too! My review will be up in a day or too. 🙂 I think you will like it!

      Dawn

  47. Zara D. Garcia-Alvarez says

    I’m really looking forward to picking up and reading “1Q84” by Haruki Murakami. The book design is beautiful and I’ve heard rave reviews. The sheer volume of it as a 900+ page book seems enough of an inspiration and reading challenge for me.

    Mind you, “11/22/63” by Stephen King is also a “big” book. Would like to read that, too. 😛

      Some books that are big tell such a great story that the time just passed by, though, don’t they? 🙂

      Dawn

  48. Regan S says

    I am excited about finally finishing The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. It’s been very slow for me to get into but I keep hearing that the second half and the sequels are really good

  54. Jessica Kennedy says

    11/22/63 is by far the best book I have read, I have already handed my copy out and hoping for another one to hand out as well

    • Dawn says

      Lol! I was more greedy than you! I bought one for myself (which I am on page 400ish now) and one for the giveaway so I could keep mine, lol! Have you read “The Stand”?

      Dawn

  55. Bella Jewel says

    Any new book written by the Real Housewives … yeah I am one of those who watch their shows.

  58. Rhonda Martin says

    Currently reading Preacher’s Daughter so I’m excited to be reading that but my home town Librarian and friend has written a novel and I’m excited to find out the details and to read that book in the year 2012. Thanks for sharing this fantastic giveaway with all of us. Stephen King is from Maine and I am one of his biggest fans and I haven’t read 11/22/63 yet so that is another one I’m also excited to read in 2012.

  63. Michelle I (MidniteEcho - Midi Nightwind) says

    Right now I am reading Code Blood. I just recently read The Vampire Diaries, and Kim Harrison’s Hollows series. I really enjoed the Hollows series.

  68. Aaron Bretveld says

    Even though it is old, I am looking forward to reading the Simarillian by JR Toklein which I haven’t read before and received for Christmas

  71. Jason Sargent says

    finally picked up Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy! looking forward to that one (2 books from now…)

  73. Russell Moore says

    I just finished 11/22/1963. I am not really a King fan, but this wasn’t his usual fare. I would recommend it.

  81. Kathleen says

    I don’t really look forward to reading books. I read mostly nonfiction and kids books and I don’t sit here and listen to what upcoming books there are and wait till they are released. If they aren’t out yet, I usually get them to review anyways.

  82. Linda Sanders says

    I can’t think of any single book I am looking forward to right now. I go to store I see what grabs me at that time.

  88. Wendi says

    oh wow not sure what one to name…I will say Stephen King’s “11/22/63”
    but also any of Janet Evanovitch that comes out Love her

  90. Andrea Amy says

    I am just looking forward to being able to read. I have 5 kids, including 3 that are between the ages of 22 months and exactly 4 and a half…been hard to get any “alone” time to read the last 4 or 5 years.

  91. Kasee Johnson says

    11/22/63!! I’m a die-hard Dean R Koontz fan, but I got my start with Stephen King. Under the Dome was disappointing … I hope this one delivers.

  92. Laurie Harrison says

    I am reading 11/22/63 now and, boy, is it ever good. I would like to read Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy Bundle. My 19 yr. old son took me to the movie, “Girl w/a dragon tattoo”. It was pretty graphic (in parts) but I really liked the story line and the characters so now I want to read the books!
    I have not read Back from Oz yet. Be a pleasure to win.
    Thank you.

  94. Shannon Gallagher says

    I am trying to find some time to read Water For Elephants. I saw the movie and heard that the book was much better.

    Shannon Jaymesmom Gallagher

    • Dawn says

      I didn’t agree that the book was better. I didn’t even really like the book much at all and I loved the movie. But, I was in the minority. 🙂 Most people do seem to like the book. I have a review of it on this blog (under Reviews on the Menu). I would love to know what you think after you are done reading it. 🙂

      Dawn

  95. MARY T says

    Actually I’ve been wanting to read Stephen King’s “11/22/63” ever since I first saw reviews about it. Crossing my fingers that this is my lucky day!

  97. Gretchen Gerth says

    I read a lot, and I just discovered a new author Alafair Burke that does cop/lawyer books. I can’t wait to go back and read all the older ones.

  98. Jude Skocki Kelly says

    I hope I win this because I really would like to read that Steven King book. If I don’t win I will just have to get it from the library

  100. Rachel Runyan says

    I’m currently trying to finish Jacqueline Kennedy: Historic Conversations on Life with John F. Kennedy.

  101. hannah says

    I was pretty excited to read the total money makeover, and can’t wait to see its results this year. We’ve already got some debt paid off 😀

  109. Barbara Cobham says

    I have read The Help and The Murderer’s Daughter so far this year. Not sure what I will be reading next besides text books! Someone needs to recommend something good to me. 🙂

  115. Brittany Boardley Renaldi says

    I have really been wanting to read Out of Oz! I read all the others in the series.

  119. Sasha W says

    I am excited to read Confessions of a Stay At Home Mom by Tamara Hancock, it looks like a good read. Thanks for the giveaway!! *fingers crossed*

    • Dawn says

      Sure! I forgot to hit “announce” on the Rafflecopter! I will do that right now! The winner chose “Out of Oz” so I will be posting the Stephen King book for giveaway again in the near future. 🙂 It will be on this post and I am in the process of making a “Winner’s Page.” Thanks so much for keeping me on the ball. 🙂
