Hello ladies! I am leaving for a weeks vacation in Dominican Republic in about 3 weeks. And I am in DESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSPERATE need of some good beach reading!!!
I like fiction... the more "serious" type (like Oprah's Book club stuff... or stuff recommended on reading lists) but I also like the "fluff" type as well (think book recommendations in Cosmo or Glamour! :teehee).
I don't like history type books... like war stuff. And I don't like romance novels.
Any suggestions?!
Thanks sooooooooooooooo much! Can't wait to see what you girls come up with! :)

If you're into mysteries, Harlan Coben and Greg Iles are out-of-this-world.

Have you read The Innocent? If not, let me know and I can send it to you. Greg Iles is just as good as Coben.

Sisters by Judy Blume is a good vacation one. While I was gone by Sue Miller I also usually like anything by Fern Micheals or Nicholas Sparks.

I tried to read Memoirs of a Geisha a couple months ago... and I couldn't get through the first chapter! It was soooo hard to read and boring. I don't know if it gets better... but I had a hard time with it.

I love John Grisham and Maeve Binchy novels. I am currently reading Wicked and it is pretty good too.
