Love You Forever

by Robert Munsch

If it made you cry when you heard Sami read a portion of this book to Will on January 18, 1999, you will really cry when you read the whole thing. The book is about the enduring nature of a parent's love and how it crosses generations.

Days of Our Lives : The Complete Family Album

by Lorraine Zenka

You can't truly call yourself a Days fan until you own this book. Although it's been out since late 1996, the 30 years of history it covers makes it more than worthwhile. There's never been a Days book like this one. It's filled with huge color photos, dating back to 1965. While it has a few factual inaccuracies, it's well worth the price. In addition to the history, you'll find backstage interviews, fun facts, and a full cast list.

Cooking with Days of Our Lives
Cooking with Days of Our Lives

by Paulette Cohn, Dotty Griffith, Greg Meng, Maureen Russell

While I haven't tried any of the recipies in the book (which include Brady Clam Chowder and Alice's Famous Cake Doughnuts), I recommend the book on pictures alone. It's filled with fabulous color photos of your favorite Days stars, past and present. There are even a few wedding photos included. The random Days tidbits that are thrown in are reminiscent of some sections on my page.

The Soap Opera Book of Lists

by Gerard J. Waggett

This book is filled with soap opera trivia. It includes information about actors as well as characters and storylines. Waggett has definitely done his research. This is no ordinary trivia book. You'll find facts here that you haven't seen anywhere else (with the possible exception of my page). For example, did you know that Peter Reckell broke his hand in two places when filming a fight scene with some Russian agents on Days?

The Soap Opera Book of Lists

Days of Our Lives : A Complete History of the Long-Running Soap Opera

by Maureen Russell

Russell is first and foremost a Days fan. She'd always been told that she knew so much about the show that she should write a book, so she did. Russell obtained photos from the personal collections of Bill and Susan Seaforth Hayes among others. They are wonderfully sprinkled throughout the book. Russell's compiled the most comprehensive castlist for Days that's ever been seen. Her list includes numerous under 5 and non-contract roles as well as regular cast members.

This new book on songwriters is of interest to Days Of Our Lives fans.

The chapter details the creation of said title tune and provides interesting background on the program's genesis. The book is published by Askill. (ISBN: 0-9545750-1-6).
