My sister has been working on a really fun project – commissioning a painting of her favorite books from http://www.idealbookshelf.com.
Of course, this got me thinking about my ideal bookshelf, and I realized that I haven’t yet listed my all-time favorite books on heartsoulmindbody. WHAT IF SOMEONE WANTS TO SURPRISE ME WITH A PAINTING OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS? Where 
would they get my list?!
Anyway – ahem. In no particular order:
The Gifts Of Imperfection – Brene Brown
Tiny Beautiful Things – Cheryl Strayed
Animal Dreams – Barbara Kingsolver
Animal Vegetable Miracle – Barbara Kingsolver
Boomsday – Christopher Buckley
Eat Pray Love – Elizabeth Gilbert
Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close – Jonathan Safran Foer
The Witch Of Portobello – Paolo Coelho
Ishmael – Daniel Quinn
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire – J.K. Rowling
Anne Of The Island – L.M. Montgomery
The Time Traveller’s Wife – Audrey Niffenegger
Seven Types Of Ambiguity – Elliot Perlman
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan – Lisa See
The Brooklyn Follies – Paul Auster
My Brilliant Friend – Elena Ferrante
Bird By Bird – Anne Lamott
The Baron In The Trees – Italo Calvino
The Unbearable Lightness Of Being – Milan Kundera
Writing Down The Bones – Natalie Goldberg
Even Cowgirls Get The Blues – Tom Robbins
Buddhism Plain And Simple – Steve Hagen
The thing is – when one of my favorite bookstores, Ukazoo Books, closed down temporarily (they’re reopening soon!), I went on a supportive shopping spree and bought a lot of my favorite titles. So – I may not ever need a painting like my sister has. 🙂 Time will tell.
