So I was cleaning the computer room this week, and what do I find? An unspent gift certificate to Borders! SWEETNESS! I'm probably going to hit the bookstore tonight - does anyone have a recommendation of an awesome book you've read recently? Topics/genres of interest to me at the moment: Baseball, history, young adult novels, romance novels, any kind of novel with an absorbing narrative and not-depressing ending, humorous essays (I love David Sedaris and read most or all of his stuff).

Book three in the series I rec'd is coming out in May and I am very excited. It's chick lit with a fairy tale bent - Katie, who has no magical ability, ends up working for Merlin's NYC company. If you've read those, try The Girl Who Invented Romance by Caroline B Cooney - I'm rereading it (YA) and it's quite up your alley.

Thank you for the tip - I got Once Upon a Stilettos last night and am looking forward to reading it!

By the way, I've been meaning to comment - good luck with all the stuff going on with your grandmother. I've been thinking good thoughts for you.
