Just got a Kindle Paperwhite and I'm looking for book recs. I like anything except science fiction/fantasy. Anyone read something great recently? Thanks!

I'm reading After Her by Joyce Maynard and so far (2/3 through) it's very good. It's a girl's coming of age story set inside a murder mystery/thriller.

I LOVED After Her, but then again I've loved every single one of her books. The movie Labor Day is coming out at the end of the month. Another great book by Ms. Maynard. CAn't wait!

I just discovered author Olivia Newport and her new Hidden Falls series. Episode 1 is free. I just read it, and I really liked it. I already ordered Episode 2! From her FB page:

I'm reading The Mystery Box by Eva Pohler. It is a free (right now) Kindle book. So far it is really good. It is usually not the type I read.

Star magazine, People magazine, The Washington Post Newspaper.

I just ordered the Kindle thing HSN was selling yesterday. I will probably give it to my daughter though.

I used to read constantly. Now between watching TV and everything else, I don't have much time to read anything that matters.

Also, when my husband died, I inherited several businesses, they keep me busy reading stuff I don't understand.
