I really enjoyed "Liar" which was my Pam Present in Madison. It's YA, but the kind that is BOTH well written and easy to read. Also, you've probably already read her stuff, but I "discovered" Edith Wharton several years ago and read everything she ever wrote. "The Enchanted April" is this really sweet book about a group of ladies who rent a house together. It's better than it sounds and it reminds me of what CW would have been like if we were all little old ladies. Most of my go-to books would be things you’d hate.

I always seem to be reading things I think I should be reading and don't always pick things purely because I hope to enjoy them. And my reading time is so limited that I don't get through anything fast. While I was at my Mom's I grabbed her copy of The Blind Assassin. I remember while I was reading it the first time I was thinking about reading it again. But first I have a couple of other things to finish and a loaner I need to read and return and ...
