(From the stuff I finished recently)
If you like Jodi Picoult, and haven’t read Picture Perfect – I enjoyed it.
Between, Georgia by Joshilyn Jackson was interesting, and a quick read.
Paula Spencer by Roddy Doyle was good, but not as good as The Woman Who Walked into Doors.
The “Little Lady” series by Hester Browne is a fun series.
On Facebook, there is the Visual Bookshelf, which will give you recommendations too. 🙂
I’ve really liked the Captain Alatriste series, by Arturo Perez-Reverte
And I know you’d love, deeply, the Sookie Stackhouse/Southern Vampire series. They’re must-reads for me.
More of an SF bent, but I liked the *book* “Jumper”, by Stephen Gould.

Interesting to note, the author wrote a second “Jumper” book called “Jumper: Griffin’s Story”, but it was a sequel to the *movie*, not the book (the two have very different continuities).

I haven’t read “reflex” yet, so I’m not sure which continuuity it’s in..

Hm, I should be getting some sort of Amazon kick-back! Too bad I don’t remember how to do that. 🙂
Ok, what WP plug-in are you using to get the AJAX-y “Your comment is awaiting moderation”?? Egad, it’s gorgeous!
Erm, I’m afraid I haven’t a clue. 😉
