  I'm rereading The Blue Bistro by Elin Hildebrand. It's a cute beach read.  I also loved Where we Belong, by Emily Giffin.  I wasn't a huge fan of Emily Giffin's most recent release.  Jennifer Weiner just came out with All Fall Down and that was great, too.  I couldn't put it down.

  I am reading Witches of East End. I randomly saw an episode on TV and binge watched the whole first season. Now I'm obsessed and was so excited when I found out it was a book series as well!

  I started reading Austenland after watching the movie, but I didn't really get into it.  It's on the "try to get to eventually" list now.

  Yes, I enjoyed it.  There are sad parts and happy parts.  It gave me a whole new appreciation of what actually happened and how it affects real New Orleanians.

  I just finished reading Sultry with a Twist by Macy Beckett. She's an author who also is a regular on the nbc board. It was really good! I need to order the other two, so I can finish the series.
  I'm listening to Revenge Wears Prada. It's okay so far.

  I'm reading The Signal and the Noise by Nate Silver. Not a novel, but I think it's interesting.
