My Fair Lazy by Jen Lancaster

Fly Away Home by Jennifer Weiner

I fell in love with Jennifer Weiner while reading In Her Shoes and have since requested each of her books as soon as they are available. This, like all of Weiner's previous works, is about what it's like to be a woman. The story follows Sylvie Woodruf and her two daughters as they deal with the infidelity of Richard, Sylvie's husband and Senator for the state of New York. Both girls, Diana and Lizzie, are involved in their own difficult situations, but eventually all three women make their way back to Sylvie's childhood summer home where they rebuild not only their lives, but their relationships with each other.

Would I recommend this book? YES! Though I was disappointed with Weiner's last book, this one more than makes up for it.

The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets Nest by Stieg Larsson

This final book of the series wraps up the tale of Lisbeth Salander. As with the previous two, there are a lot of details and reference to Swedish landmarks so at times it's difficult to keep everything straight, but an excellent book.

Would I recommend this book? ABSOLUTELY!
