Talking about books

Nice time at Wordsley library this afternoon and looking forward to Monday with Halesowen readers group. There's nothing nicer than talking about books with other people who love books too. Have already zipped through my TBR pile so I think I'll have to go and treat myself to a few more.
I loved Katie Ffordes Wedding Season - I think it's her best book yet. The Betty Neels were lovely satisfying comfort reads as always. So I need some reccomendations. I like heart warming romances with a splash of comedy, a great plot and a happy ending. I don't mind the heat level if it's important to the plot so the bedroom door can be open but I can do without the mirrored ceiling and handcuffs. I don't really like Vampires and Shapeshifters. I like some historicals but Contemporaries are my favourites.
Tell me what to read...

Hi Nell

I just reviewed two wonderful romantic comedies - Trisha Ashley's Wedding Tiers (gorgeous, gorgeous book about weddings and cakes) and Milly Johnson's A Spring Affair. I think that if you like Katie Fforde/Jill Mansell/Christina Jones, you'll love them!

Wish I had something to recommend. All I've been reading lately is ya and paranormal romances. :(

Hi Julie, ooh, I'd been looking at wedding tiers.

Try Sarah Addison Allen -- either Garden Spells or The Sugar Queen. There is a little bit of magical realism (fairy godmother sort of thing) but really they are lovely contemporary stories.
