Marian Keyes is a great chick lit author. Some of her book titles are "Sushi for Beginners", "Last Chance Saloon" and "Under the Duvet"..happy reading.

I'm pretty sure I've read ALL of Jodi Picoults books! I love love love her!!!

The only two I wasn't so fond of were Mercy and Salem Falls. Other than that, SOOO good!

Emily Giffen's books are really fun reads. Something Borrowed is really good, as is Something Blue (the storylines are connected, and it's better to read Something Borrowed first).

 

The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella is pretty good too.

 

 

Aside from the chick-lit though, anything by Jeffrey Deaver is good too. The Coffin Dancer and A Maiden's Grave are two of my favourites.

lauren! so glad you recommended david sedaris. he is one of my all time favorite authors. i have all of his books! and all of them are signed to me because i went to some book signings of his a few years ago. i have literally laughed out loud with every single one of his books, and on a few ocassions, fallen out of a chair i was laughing so hard!

i read a few jodi picoult, but i feel like they are all the same. best picoult was 'my sister's keeper'. same thing w/ anita shreve - read one if you want to read a good book, read more than one if you want to read the same thing all over again. best anita shreve - a wedding in december.
i read eat, pray, love...i think you either love it or hate it. i loved the part about italy, but was bored throughout the rest.
i'm a huge fan of anything augusten burroughs (running w/ scissors, esp - movie was terrible, but book was great), david sedaris (naked - laughed so hard i fell out of my chair), chuck palaniuk and douglas coupland, if you have a sick sense of humor. i also loved the book 'water for elephants' by sara gruen.
currently i'm reading 'when you are engulfed in flames' by david sedaris.
oh, and if you are really sick like me, read 'a dirty job' and/or 'lamb' by christopher moore. in lamb, you find out why jews eat chinese food on christmas, lol.
Absolutely love David Sedaris - Amy Sedaris has written some funny stuff too!

Amy Tan also writes good beach reads.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
