Rainbow Rowell's Landlines is fun.
I really enjoyed Fangirl.
I second the Shades of Milk and Honey rec, too.
Mal: Zoe, why do I have a wife? Jayne: You got a wife? All I got is that dumbass stick sounds like its raining. How come you got a wife?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I somehow know nothing about recent literature. Now I want to read Longbourne!

I haven't read Longbourne but second all the other recs above!

Longbourne is excellent, but if you're looking for "light", I'd go with Shades before Longbourne.

I read Longbourn (no "e") for my upcoming book salon (classic literary fan fiction) and agree that it's very well done.

Well, I used up some gift cards and bought a bunch of ebooks last night. Thanks again.

I just got my daily BookBub ebook offer emails--and the first book in the list is one I edited for Deena's imprint, Drollerie Press! The Chocolatier's Wife, I'm so thrilled the author found another outlet for it!

Oh right! No 'e', it's been a while since I read the original.

So you recommend it, Connie? Worth the $.99?

I found it very charming as I was working on it, and there were elements that I wish I'd written. Yes, for $.99.
Plus it's been through another editing pass since I worked on it.
