I have been reading like a fiend lately! Granted, I have been reading mostly lighthearted romance and chick-lit at the moment because – look, that’s all I can handle right now. But I figured that now is as good a time as any to round up a few of my all time favorites – broken down by category so you can pick the perfect one. I presume that there will certainly be more of these lists in the future – so for now, this is part one!
