The Twilight Saga (Twilight - New Moon - Eclipse - Breaking Dawn)
Stephenie Meyer
From the moment I opened the first book, Twilight, in the Twilight series, I found myself lost in a mythical, intriguing world. A world in which Bella (a mortal) finds the good in most everyone she encounters, be it a vampire, or something else. I believe through these books a door is being open that allows us to see that true love has no prejudice!

Hurry Down Sunshine
Michael Greenberg
I found myself fascinated and heartbroken as I read Greenberg's memoir of his daughter's battle with mental illness. Their story could be anyone's story! There is no way around the cold and treacherous truth of madness, other than to face it head on with love and understanding.

Summer of Naked Swim Parties
Jessica Anya Blau
This coming of age story will make you laugh cry and definitely relate to 14 year old Jamie growing up in the summer of 1976. Jessica Blau has an amazing voice, her book is a rare and special gift.

Roland Flicket
I think the title says it all. If you're an avid picker, a closet picker, or you're not a picker at all -- this book will have you rolling! (No pun intended!)

Six Wives of Henry VIII
Alison Weir
A fascinating read filled with insight and tragedy. Weir opens a window, allowing us to peek into the lives of six incredible, yet very different women.

Susan Minot
A riveting journey into a woman's past reveals many truths of how human nature can dictate our lives. Susan Minot is an exceptional writer!

Gatsby's Girl

This intriguing novel centers around F. Scott Fitzgerald's first love Ginevra. Preston's version of Fitzgerald's involvement with this spoiled society girl reads like a classic.

Whistling in the Dark
Lesley Kagen

Instant Love
Jami Attenberg
I instantly knew I would devour this book -- and I did -- eagerly, greedily wanting to submerge myself within the pages ... Ms. Attenberg's characters are vivid, and their stories, their loves and losses seem as real and valid as my own.
