i loved the color of water and the tibetan book of living and dying
i finished wild and wasn't very impressed with it...maybe my friend saw something in it i just can't. i've started rereading maggie stiefvater's wolves of mercy falls trilogy - it's a ya fantasy series that i read the first two books of a few years ago (and got to meet maggie! she's awesome). i haven't read the third book yet so i'm rereading the first two and reading the third after. the titles are shiver, linger, and forever. she also has two books about fairies called lament and ballad - they're really good too.
