How about "The Language of Flowers"? I haven't read it myself, but it got raves from some people who like the "smarter" end of chick-lit.

Me Before You Jo Jo Moyes

Just starting The Art Forger, which is well reviewed and seems promising.

The End of Your Life Bookclub by Will Schalwbe

Glitter and Glue by Kelly Corrigan

The Forgetting Tree by Tatiana Soli

'Wild' by Cheryl Strayed. Anything by Dorothea Benton Frank, but I especially liked 'Plantation'.

Thanks! I haven't read any of those. Off to the library and bookstore!

I loved The Art Forger, did not like Language of Flowers, too depressing. I like interesting and happy.

Though there are some very sad, tears streaming down my face for me, parts in the beginning, I'm really enjoying reading One Summer by David Baldacci. I'm about 2/3rds through right now. It's been hard to put down.

Got a few of those recommended, but many of the others are checked out - a good sign. Might buy "The Art Forger."

Coincidentally, as I was driving home from the library, they were interviewing an author on the radio about her new book "The Bear." It sounded fantastic, so I will look for it next time.

Some of my favorites:
Good in Bed by Jennifer Weiner
Little Earthquakes by Jennifer Weiner
How to Be Good by Nick Hornby (I laughed out loud at some parts of this book)
About a Boy by Nick Hornby (So very much better than the movie)
The Ten Year Nap by Meg Wolitzer
Every single thing written by Maeve Binchy
Almost everything by Alice Hoffman

One of my favorites, but older, The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford.
Another all time favorite, The Thirteenth Tale.

Of course, if you havent read the Hunger Games triology it is really fun...

Outlander by Diana Gabaldon - but be careful, you'll get hooked! The 8th book in the series is coming out this summer.

I haven't read any of the above except The Time Traveler's Wife (better than the movie), skimmed through The hunger Games to see if appropriate before DS read them (yes, but DD too young). That's more teen lit than chick lit.

Have you read The Secret Life of Bees, The Memory Keeper's Daughter? I didn't care for The Mermaid Chair, but I'm waiting for The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd to become available at our library.

This isn't chick lit, but I'm reading The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. A great story with such interesting characters, and I've really been drawn into it. It's a big book, so maybe not the best to travel with unless you have a Kindle.

Oh, yeah, the e-readers are great for travel (though last year I brought Team of Rivals and another big book on Lincoln as Commander in Chief on drive to Gettysburg). Just hard to read some things on them - Autobiography of Mark Twain was one but I struggled through it since it was so huge I didn't want 10-lb book on my lap. The Quantum Universe e-book just never made it too far though I checked it out twice, so I just picked it up in hardcover Friday (along with The Ghost Map that I saw another GWer recommend). Finishing Fast Food Nation now.

One of my favorites, but older, The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford.

The Invention of Wings was the best book I've read in a long while.
