Honeymoon Books!

So while all of your time has been spent planning your wedding, there is something to look forward to beyond the wedding...of course your wonderful life to come with your new spouse, but more urgently, a little R&R on your honeymoon!

Since your head has been caught up in wedding magazines (like Real Weddings Magazine!) and on blogs and Web sites, we thought we'd come to the rescue with some reading suggestions for when you're sipping a yummy frothy cocktail with your enamored by your side.

For those historical fiction lovers:
Mistress of the Revolution by Catherine Delors (catherinedelors.com/mistress.htm/)
The Innocent Traitor by Alison Weir (http://www.alisonweir.org.uk/)

For those mystery/psychological thriller lovers:
The Scarecrow by Michael Connelly (http://www.michaelconnelly.com/)
Gone Tomorrow by Lee Child (http://www.leechild.com/)

For those needing something a little more "deep":
Brooklyn by Colm Toibin (www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colm_T%C3%B3ib%C3%ADn)
The Invisible Wall by Harry Bernstein (www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Bernstein).
Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay (www.sarahskey.com/article-22049887.html)

For those needing a big-laugh-out-loud-in-the-middle-of the airport read:
Anything from Laurie Notaro -- I've read every one of her books and everytime, she makes me guffaw. Love her! (http://www.laurienotaro.com/).

And for those that just want a wonderfully delicious saucy bit of chick-lit:
Since You're Leaving Anyway, Take Out the Trash by Dixie Cash (http://www.dixiecashauthor.com/)
Size 12 is Not Fat by Meg Cabot (www.megcabot.com/size12/size12isnotfat.php)
Scott on the Rocks by Brenda Janowitz (http://www.brendajanowitz.com/)

And this one might fall under historical novel and chick lit -- it's delightful:
Confessions of a Jane Austin Addict by Laurie Viera Rigler (http://janeaustenaddict.com/)

Do you have reading suggestions for our brides? If so, drop me a quick email and I'll put them all together for our next Honeymoon books blog!

And, remember, we won't judge you by the books that you're reading! We honestly don't care what you're reading (truly, we're not book snobs – we appreciate the written word in all forms! And come on – do you really think we'd be reading Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment after college? Not a chance!), we just love that you're reading! Enjoy!
