Book recommendations sought!!

[violet_angel]

Alrighty... So as I wait on my nook to arrive (should be the 6th or 7th of January!!!!!!!!) I am compiling a list of books that I should put on there. Already I know I will be getting the following:

all of Jennifer Weiner's books
The Help
Eat, Pray, Love
The Lovely Bones

I have had the following recommended to me (and three of them are things I was already thinking about):
Alex & Me
Wesley the Owl
The Art of Racing in the Rain
Same Kind of Different as Me

What other suggestions do people have? I'm not usually a sci-fi girl, but if it's not TOO out there, I'll consider it.

Leave in comments! Please and thank you!!
