Ann Patchett still remains my favorite author. I hold her near and dear to my heart, always. She can write a pamphlet on STDs and I'd pay good money for it and read every word.

That being said, I'm always reading and always looking for writers who impress me. My latest awesome discovery is Lisa Unger. Her fourth novel, Die For You , will be out this summer, but in the meantime, I highly suggest you grab both Beautiful Lies and Sliver of Truth, her first and second novels. Both of them feature lead character Ridley Jones, a woman on whom I developed a serious crush (yes, I'm aware that she's fictional). Ms. Unger's writing is fast-paced, insightful, funny, touching, and she makes so many amazing observations through Ridley's eyes that I often stopped to read passages aloud to Bonnie. I didn't want either book to end, which to me, is the sign of an incredible read.

Get details about the books and Lisa herself at her website here.

"I don’t believe in regret. If you regret things about your life, then I bet that you’re not paying attention. Regret is just imagining that you know what would have happened if you took that job in California or married your high-school sweetheart or just looked one more time before you stepped out into the street…or didn’t. But you don’t know; you can’t possibly know."

~Ridley Jones in Lisa Unger’s novel Beautiful Lies
