Wanted: Book Recommendations

With the crummy weather over the weekend, it was the perfect time to curl up in bed with my kindle and read mindless chick lit to unwind after an insanely busy week. So I did some searching and then decided I was too lazy to discover new authors and instead settled for one of the staples of chick lit, Sophie Kinsella. Truth be told, I'm over the Shopaholic series and The Undomestic Goddness was meh but I seem to recall Can You Keep A Secret being okay so when I saw that she had a book out earlier this year called I’ve Got Your Number, I figured I’ll give it a shot.

The premise is as such: Poppy is engaged after a whirlwind romance. She was proposed with a family heirloom ring and she manages to lose it. Then she gets mugged and loses her phone. As luck (or plot contrivances) would have it, she sees an abandoned phone in a rubbish bin and decides to claim it as her own. However, the phone belonged to the PA of hot guy Sam and so soon she has access to all his emails and starts wading into his personal life which he doesn’t appreciate.

My verdict? Perfect if you are looking for mindless books to while away time while relaxing your brain. If you are in the mood for heavier reading, then consider other alternatives such as John Grisham’s The Confession (innocent man gets convicted of murder and sits on death row, racial tension, religion, the works). Of course, now that I’m done with this, I’m back into my normal murder mysteries (just started Tess Gerritsen’s The Surgeon.) So onto the purpose of this post, I guess much like Must See TV Recruitment, I’m looking for new books to read soooooo any suggestions? Chick lit, thrillers, detective cases, I’m open to ideas. Bring it.
