Book Recommendations

Hi everyone!
I need suggestions!
I am currently ordering my textbooks for this semester from Amazon (barf, I know), and want to pick up some novels to read too! I take the bus to/from school every day, so I usually have a good hour of reading time (yay Chicago), and like to use the time to read good books that aren't for class!
I love reading stupid girly books, but also like movies about law/criminals, etc. Here are some of my favorites:

Based off of these - any suggestions for new books to read?

Thanks!
XOXO

  1. Have you already read the whole Emily Griffin Series? "something borrowed", "Something Blue".. & etc. hmmmm what else. I have a ton of books at home but the titles escape me right now.

  2. Last summer I read the At Home in Mitford or also called the Father Tim series. So charming! I htink there are 7 books, total, I only read 4 of them. Very quick, and good ones if you are only going to have time for a few pages at a time! Have a great weekend!

  3. have you ever read jodi picoult books? each of her books have characters that surprise you and each seem to deal with the legal system. I really enjoyed Plain Truth and The Pact the most by her! I also just finished a darling book called The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society that had the most precious set of characters ever!

  4. I agree with headbands and HandBags, the Mitford series is awesome as is the shop on blossom street series.

  5. I second the recommendation for the Emily Giffin series (especially "Something Borrowed" and "Something Blue"). I also really enjoy Sophie Kinsella (I really liked "Can You Keep A Secret?")

  6. Have you read Mating Rituals of the North American WASP by Lauren Lipton? It's a fun read. And I love the lawyer novels by Lisa Scottoline (they're all about women lawyers and they're suspenseful and funny - try Daddy's Girl first).

  7. I loved Bergdorf Blondes!! I really haven't found a girly book to rival how cute that one is! I'm also going to have to check out some of the others on your list.
