SUSAN ELIZABETH PHILLIPS

The Huffington Post says the books of Susan Elizabeth Phillips provide a “gateway drug to the whole [romance] genre,” which she assumes is a good thing. Bookpage magazine calls her “the crown jewel of romantic comedy writers,” which is definitely a good thing.

In addition to being a New York Times, Publisher’s Weekly, and USA Today bestseller, she is a hiker, lazy gardener, horrible singer, passable cook, passionate reader, wife, mother of two grown sons, and grandmother of two adorable little ones. Her newest book, THE GREAT ESCAPE, is now available in...more

The Faith Club by Ranya Idliby
In the shadow of 9/11, three modern American women-a Muslim, a Jew, and a Christian-learn about each other's religion and deepen their own faith. I wish everyone would read this book. It gets a bit repetitive at the end, and I skimmed a bit there, bu...more

Loved, loved this book. Not for the seriously depressed or those facing major life issues. Simply a guide to thinking differently about your own life.

The Life List
by Lori Nelson Spielman (Goodreads Author)
Fiction: This book doesn’t come out until summer 2013 but I was lucky enough to get an early copy. Chick Lit at it’s best! I devoured this one. A great heroine, a strange will, a seemingly impossible quest. The book has real heart.
Copper Beach by Jayne Ann Krentz
Fiction: I love the humor in JAK’s books as well as her northwest settings and clever plotting. She’s a gem!
