My thoughts: It's hard to describe Sandra's writing - but no matter what, her writing is entertaining and compassionate. I truly enjoy reading one of her books. Her books are, literally, treasures. If you haven't yet discovered this author, start with this book or Prayers for Sale.
New York Times bestselling author Marie Bostwick crafts a timeless tale of friendship, love, and the choices we must make in their name.
While New Bern, Connecticut, lies under a blanket of snow, the Cobbled Court Quilt Shop remains a cozy haven for its owner, Evelyn Dixon, and her friends. Evelyn relishes winter's slower pace--besides, internet sales are hopping, thanks to her son Garrett's efforts. In addition to helping out at the shop, Garrett has also been patiently waiting for his girlfriend, Liza, to finish art school in New York City. But as much as Evelyn loves Liza, she wonders if it's a good idea for her son to be so serious, so soon, with a young woman who's just getting ready to spread her wings.

Additional notes: This is the third book in the Cobbled Court Quilts series. You can read my review of the second book in the series here. The fourth book has already been released, and this series is ongoing.
My thoughts: This wasn't my favorite book in the series, but sometimes, you need a book to set up your next book and it seems that was Marie's plan. I expect the fourth to be full of surprises from a new character that was introduced in this book.

My thoughts: This was my Christmas in July pick this year (but who am I kidding, I read Christmas books all year long!). If you love a good suspense/mystery or know and love Mary and Carol Higgins Clark, this book will entertain and humor you.

Additional notes: This is the third and final book in the New Heights series. You can read my review of the first book here and my review of the second book here.
My thoughts: The New Heights series would be great for a young woman who is coming into her own. This series expanded my view on abortion, sex, and love.
What's an American girl with a big mouth, but an equally big heart, to do?
Lizzie Nichols has a problem, and it isn't that she doesn't have the slightest idea what she's going to do with her life, or that she's blowing what should be her down payment on a cute little Manhattan apartment on a trip to London to visit her long-distance boyfriend, Andrew. What's the point of planning for the future when she's done it again? See, Lizzie can't keep her mouth shut. And it's not just that she can't keep her own secrets, she can't keep anything to herself.
This time when she opens her big mouth, her good intentions get Andrew in major hot water. Now Lizzie's stuck in London with no boyfriend and no place to stay until the departure date written on her non-changeable airline ticket.
Fortunately, Lizzie's best friend and college roommate is spending her summer in the south of France, catering weddings in a chateau. One call and Lizzie's on a train to Paris. Who cares if she speaks only rudimentary French? One glimpse of gorgeous Chateau Mirac -- not to mention gorgeous Luke, Chateau Mirac's owner -- and she's smitten.

Additional notes: This is the first book in the Queen of Babble series. The other two books in the series have already been released, and the series has finished.
My thoughts: I love Meg Cabot, and she doesn't disappoint in this book. Perhaps more importantly to note is that Lizzie reminds me a lot of Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood) of the Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella, which makes Meg's series all the better in my opinion.
