Congrats on your 50th post. That's an accomplishment. I love love love your blog title. LOL!!
Oopss...I forgot about the book.
One of my favs because I have sooo many is Song in the Silence by Elizabeth Kerner. It is about dragons and love that can change the world.
Present and accounted for! Loved the Fabulous 50 Fun Facts--thanks for the giveaway--I desperately need a new book to read!
I'm going to be a young mom too & I've always hoped I would be. My boy is your age, almost 28 (in Sept) and I'm 22 and will be when the little one arrives ^_^
Congrats on 50 posts!!
I can't pick one favorite book. I have too many. It's why I have a book blog, LOL!
Congratulations on your 50th post!
You have a great blog design! Love the banner and title.
My favorite book of all time is Little Women. My favorite recent read (and "grown up" book)was Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder.
Favorite book!?! You mean I am supposed to have 1 favorite!?!! I'm like holly - I have too many favorites :)
congrats on your 50th post, you've got a great blog, that header is so cute.
I've never read Charles Martin before. I'll have to check that out.
One of my favorites is 'The Ice Queen' by Alcie Hoffman.

I have a lot of favorites... the list goes on and on, really.. let's see... Shel Silverstein, Saul Williams, Richard Matheson, Dr. Suess, J.D. Salinger, Sylvia Plath, Adam Langer, Joe Meno, Saul Williams, Khaled Hosseini, Chuck Klosterman, Kurt Vonnegut, Roald Dahl, David Sedaris, Bret Easton Ellis, JK Rowling. EE Cummings.... just to name a few.
I am currently reading I AM AMERICA [AND SO CAN YOU] by Stephen Colbert, and it's a real laugh riot.
Thanks for your comment over my post on 5 minutes for books directing me to your site! Charles Martin is one of my FAVORITE authors and I would LOVE an opportunity to win his newest title--believe it or not, I haven't gotten it yet!
Blessings to you!

I loved your facts, we have a lot in common- like hating to exercise, but wanting to like it and being a young mom of two. :) My favorite book is David Copperfield by Charles Dickens. :)

Hey Mikki,
Thanks for stopping by my blog yesterday! I love your list of 50 things. What a sweet post.
Right now my fav author is Stephanie Myers....I'm hooked on the Twilight series, thanks to my blogging friends! I'd love to be entered in your giveaway, even though I've never won anything before!
Love your blog colors too!
Hi Mikki! You must have come to the fair from Canada, eh? Thanks for stopping in. I don't read much fiction, but one of my favorite books is A Love So Big by Sheila Walsh. Perfect read for a mom with young kids! Congrats on your 50th post!

Books? Who has time for books?? When I get the chance I enjoy chicklit stuff. Sophie Kinsella of the Confessions of a Shopaholic series is great to unwind and not think about all the other stuff that needs to be done!
What a great giveaway and I love the 50 random facts! Congrats on your 50th post!
Congrats on 50 posts! I think that I may be nearing that soon also. As for the list, numbers 47 and 50 are my favourites: Coffee and books. They go so well together!
I've read your blog for awhile without commenting. Thanks for such an honest blog...
Thanks for dropping by my blog and commenting to boot! My favorite book series is by Liz Curtis Higgs, beginning with Thorn in my Heart. But I'd love to read this book you've recommended as well -- wish me luck in the drawing!! =)
I guess mine would be Ann Rule.
For non-fiction and
Patricia Cornwell for fiction.
I loved the 50 things about you.
Who could live without coffee anyway?
It takes an act of congress to get sweet tea in Washington state.
All anyone serves is unsweetened-yuck!
