3. Chocolat (Joanne Harris, FIC HARRIS) – "An exotic stranger opens up a chocolate shop in an old French village that is rather set in its' ways, until their senses and themselves begin to awaken. This novel delivered me to the perfect place I needed to be at the time," she said.

5. Showroom of Compassion (Cake, CD CAKE) – "There is never a 'bad' time to listen to this CD. The lead vocals and the entire band imperceptibly invite you in and embrace you," said Foley.
