  4. One book that really moved me recently was "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Moonlight." It's a terribly moving, funny, clever look into the life of a teenage autistic boy. Awesome book.

  7. I would love to be entered to win this book, I've heard so many interesting things about it.

    I am sad to say that I haven't really read any books recently that have greatly affected me, I think I've been reading too much fluffy stuff lately, I think it's high time I get something into my hands that really makes me think!!!!

  15. Is it cheating to say The Bible? I generally read more fun fiction than books that would really affect me. But the Bible ... it changed my life. It's a re-reader for sure.

    This sounds like a book I would really enjoy. Thanks for the chance

  21. I don't know if it 'greatly' affected me but I read Rebecca in middle school and loved it and it's made me make a conscious effort to read more books about women (and their independence/rights) and by women as well..and 'classic' books.....(like the Awakening which might be my favorite book)

  47. I recently read Denise Jackson's book (she's Alan Jackson of country music fame's wife). I think it was called "Putting Him first". It was incredibly moving and really struck a chord with me. Its about their marital strife, struggles and about finding your way back to God. :)
