I’ve been a reading machine lately and have three, new recommendations.

The first is Midnight in Austenland, a sort of sequel to Austenland. It’s part romance, part mystery – very dishy. Overall, it’s a light and lovely read.

The second book was recommended to me by the real, Kim K. (Ok, not that Kim, but a much more reliable source where books are involved.) It’s called Touch and Go by Lisa Gardner. It is a suspenseful mystery about a family who is kidnapped. The book is a page-turner. I read it in a weekend.

I saved the best for last. Where’d You Go Bernadette? by Maria Semple is an incredible book. The tone is funny, but the subject matter is heavy. Basically, a mother disappears and the daughter researches her disappearance. Bernadette’s musings/rants on real life are hysterical, pointed and funny. Pick it up today, seriously.
