Book Recommendation

[Rachel]

I've been enjoying Emily Giffin lately. I read Something Borrowed, Something Blue (read in that order). Also Baby Proof and Heart of the Matter.

I always look to see if she has new books too!

Read A Walk to Remember and The Notebook by Nicholas Spark, they are simply awesome and will make you want to cry more and more... The movies based on them are also good but the books have no match. A must read.

Marian Keyes is great. That one is my fave, but I'd recommend any and all of her books.

Pat Conroy's "Beach Music" is one of the first books I ever read that had me laughing until I cried.

It's a very real book though. Very relateable. (hmm, relatable isn't a real word? I never knew!) I read it when I was in college. I should read it again, I bet I'd be able to relate even better now. Love Pat Conroy.

I love Lisa Wingate. She calls herself a Christian writer, but it isn't heavy handed. In most of them, it's no more than someone saying "I'll say a prayer for her." I would call her a modest writer more than a Christian writer. There is romance but sex is more implied.

She does series books, but except for the Tending Roses series (possibly my favorite books ever!), they can stand alone. Same people show up in both, but you don't necessarily have to read them in order.

If you like light-hearted romances with a dose of good friends, I recommend the Hill County Texas series.

Texas Cooking
Lone Star Cafe
Over the Moon at the Big Lizard Diner

Her Promise Texas series of 3 books are so funny.
Talk Of the Town
Word Gets Around
Never Say Never

You can read the first chapter of her books here: http://lisawingate.com/Bookshelf.htm

She recently had one or two of her books as a free Kindle download. Might check.

Love love her books I read Tending Roses once a year
