While this is partly a romance book, it's not fluffy, and the author is skillful at drawing quirky and flawed characters that you fall in love with. It's funny, and heartbreaking, and a book that keeps you up all hours to finish. Don't miss this one--you'll be thinking about the story and characters long after you turn the last page--a definite, must read. ~ Katherine

ME BEFORE YOU by Jojo Moyes
Life and circumstances put together Louisa, a
small town, middle class, English girl with a flair for vintage clothing, who has found herself in a series of dead-end jobs, and Will, a wealthy and successful man who was into extreme sports until an accident rendered him a quadriplegic. Will
has decided that he has the right to end his life--it's painful and joyless--and then his parents talk him into giving it at least six months, and hire Louisa to be his new caretaker. Worlds apart, they get off to a difficult start, but when Louisa discovers his plans to die, she becomes
determined to prove to Will that life is worth living. Louisa plans a series of adventures, and life, and their friendship changes them, and their families.

Dead Ever After - Sookie Stackhouse, Bk 13
Author: Charlaine Harris
I started reading this series well before it became TrueBlood on HBO. I really like the take on the vampire/supernatural genre. This is the final book in the series and I found it ok. Ms. Harris brought in some of the previous characters but they didn't flow well into the story. I would give this book 3 out of 5. It didn't end with the "I'm going to miss the characters" feeling I've had with other series.
