Unregistered	[size=7]Anything by Jodi Picoult -- Her Sister's Keeper, tThe Plain Truth, Salems Falls... I like Maeve Binchey too -- her later stuff vs. her earlier stuff. If I'm looking for total fluff, Nora Roberts -- I just read a trilogy with vampires and witches...sounds oogy, but it was good! She has some less fluffy stuff as well - Angels Falls was a good read. Off the top of my head those are my recommendations. I'm going to have to think harder for more. :D[/size]

Unregistered	[size=7]I never read anything by Jodi Picoult but my sister just gave me 2 - Salem Falls and Second Glances. Haven't started them yet but they sound good. Not really big on Nora Roberts but those sound interesting. I read the witch series by Anne Rice and liked those (never read the vampire series).[/size]

If you like Anne Rice, Consider Laurell K Hamilton. She also has a 'witch' type series and a 'Beaties' (Vamps, Lycanthropes, Witches, all sorts of legendary creatures) series. They tend to get REALLY porny though, fair warning.

McPonder Posts: 92 Group: Grey Girls Member #4 Joined: October 24, 2006	[size=7]Over the weekend I read "Anybody Out There" by Marian Keyes, and enjoyed it very much. It's light reading, but I couldn't put it down. I've read a few of her books, and have liked them quite a lot. Here's a review of this book: From Publishers Weekly International bestseller Keyes is back with another quirky, heartwarming story of the Walsh sisters (Angels, etc.). Anna Walsh has returned to the bosom of her family in the Dublin suburbs to recuperate from the horrendous car accident that has left her with multiple fractures and a disfiguring scar across her face. Desperate to go back to New York and resume her normal life, she soon packs up her bags and returns to her job in beauty PR for punk cosmetics brand Candy Grrrl. A lonely and debilitated Anna leaves e-mails and phone messages for her mysteriously absent husband, Aidan, pleading for him to reply. [...] Meanwhile, she reminisces about their courtship and marriage while her kooky family (especially her Mum and hyperactive PI sister Helen) tries to buoy her spirits. Keyes's trademark blend of humor, diverse characters and a warm but unsentimental tone strikes gold.[/size]
