It sure would help to know what kinds of books you like to read.
The one I read most recently that I'd recommend highly is The Help, by Kathryn Stockett. There was a thread on here about it recently, but when I went to look for it, I couldn't find it, so I suspect it got deleted. The story is set in Mississippi during the Civil Rights era and is about a white woman who decides to write a book of the true stories of a group of black maids (the help) and the black women who risk quite a lot to tell their stories. It's powerful and very absorbing to read.
Others have mentioned Jennifer Chiaverini's quilting novels, and if you haven't read them, you're in for a treat.
Jodi Thomas writes feel-good stuff, women's books but more than just romances.
