I’m looking for some new books to read in my spare time (as if I have any, but I always need a book to read). I am almost finished with a John Grisham book that I have been less than impressed with and just want to finish so that it’s done. I’m spending a relaxing weekend on my own in Vegas (I know, sounds like an oxymoron, but I’m chillin’ at my brother’s place while they’re out of town) and I’d love to have some good reads to keep me company by the pool. So far, friends have recommended Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert and Austenland by Shannon Hale.
What are your favorite recent reads?

i second The Kite Runner, Prep and The Namesake

Oh, I would also recommend Goose Girl, by Shannon Hale if you haven’t read it yet. That’s a good one too.
I’m reading The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini which is very good and I recently finished The Time Traveler’s Wife which was SO good. If I think of any others I’ll let you know.
