Wicked --I LOVE books that show an alternate view of a traditional tale...
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle
Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
Funny that many of these are "childrens" books... but I read most of them over and over and over...
These are books that made a true impact on my life -- they changed me. I am a "reader" I have read many many many wonderful books -- but these are some that have stayed with me and I refer to them often.
And here are some other things that have impacted me this week!
Maija's dogs....they are adorable and made me smile every day!

your read all of wicked? I LOVED the musical and have seen it twice and will see it again in the spring, but I bought the book and it was just sooo wierd, I couldnt read it. I got about half way through and gave up! Maybe I should try again!

I love a Wrinkle in Time, and you are slowly convincing me to read Neil Gaiman. My kids will be so thrilled.
