I was not a big fan of In Her Shoes but I REALLY liked Good In Bed (but not the sequel as much), and also Little Earthquakes. So I recommend those too. If you like anything in the paranormal realm, I HIGHLY recommend Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series. Starts with Bitten. All of her books are great. I also recommend Charlaine Harris highly. She has a number of series, some paranormal and some not; all of them good. The Southern Vampire books, of course, being what True Blood was based on. There's also the Harper Connelly books, about a lady that was hit by lightning and developed this ability to locate dead bodies. Then there's the Aurora Teagarden series, about a mostly-ordinary librarian who gets caught up in various murder mysteries. Or the Lily Bard series, another 'ordinary person (sort of ordinary, anyway) involved in murder mysteries' series. I like all of them. That's just for starters. :) Also, I covet the library in the photo SO HARD. SO. HARD. Whereever did you find that picture?? .-= Kristi of Million Dream Mom´s last blog ..<a href="http://milliondreammom.blogspot.com/2009/07/south-beach.html" rel="nofollow">south beach</a> =-. re: Jennifer Weiner.

It's similar to Twilight, but with a different twist. They're quick and easy reads that are addictive! I'm impressed with all your reading!

You should definitely check it out. I'm also a huge fan of Curtis Sittenfeld and the chick lit regulars like Emily Giffen, Sophie Kinsella, Jennifer Weiner, Jane Green... Right now I'm getting ready to sink my teeth into the Sookie Sackhouse books. Happy reading, I did the same thing when I lost my job earlier this year. :) .-= Amber´s last blog ..<a href="http://alittlepinkinthecornfields.blogspot.com/2009/07/awwwwwwwkward.html" rel="nofollow">Awwwwwwwkward!</a> =-.

I LOVE Jennifer Weiner. Her books are amazing. I can recommend a few more for you if you would like. Jane Green (Jemima J is my fav but they are all awesome) Sophie Kinsella (Shopoholic series is what you would know her for) Lauren Weisenburger I know you said you weren't into the Stephenie Plum books too much, but I just have to say that I love them! I am surprised that you don't like them! Janet Evanovich's other books are good, also. I really like the 'Full' series. (Each book title begins with 'Full'). My books aren't unpacked yet, and those were all I could think of right now, but if I think of more I will let you know! .-= J´s last blog ..<a href="http://shetunesintokyo.blogspot.com/2009/07/fuck-off-boxes.html" rel="nofollow">Fuck off, boxes.</a> =-.
