if if you like slight hint of magic in women's fiction...you'll love Cecilia Ahern's books. I'll recommend reading The Book of Tomorrow.
Hareem01,
I googled The Book of Tomorrow and it looked very familiar. It turns out that I had read it a few years back.

Re: What are you reading?
Just finished 'Looking for Alaska'. It is good if one doesn't avoid deaths in books.
Is that the one by John Greene? If so...I didn't care for the Fault in our Stars movie...and Abundance of Katherines was so-so.

Just finished Good in bed by Jennifer. A book about an overweight woman and her struggles. She eventually learns to love herself after she almost lost her new born girl. The last few chapters were a roller coaster of emotions.

Re: What are you reading?
I recently read The Twentieth Wife…and LOVED it. It is soooooo well written. Its about a Mughal love story between Mehr-un-nissa and Prince Salim. And the best part is that it’s based on actual historical facts. So in an entertaining way, you learn so much about Mughal history. Dang, those Mughals were crazy!!! Let’s just say they weren’t as Muslim as they should have been.
I’m reading The Alchemist right now, and find it interesting:)
**Veronika Decides To Die by Paulo Coelho
Intro:
Veronika, 24, works in a library in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and rents a room in a convent; she is an attractive woman with friends and family, but feelings of powerlessness and apathy tempt her to find “freedom” in an overdose of sleeping pills. When Veronika awakens in the purgatory of Villete, the country’s famous lunatic asylum, she is told her suicide attempt weakened her heart and she has only days to live. At this point, Coelho takes a role in the novel; he describes the circumstances under which he discovered Veronika’s story and then recounts his own youthful incarceration in a Brazilian sanatorium, consigned there by parents who couldn’t understand his “unusual behavior.” As quickly as he drops in, however, he drops out again, relying on interior monologues to set scenes. In a sedative-induced haze, Veronika finds companionship in white-haired Mari, who suffers from panic attacks, and Eduard, an ambassador’s son who has been diagnosed as schizophrenic, and she begins to question the definition of insanity. It is her supposed death sentence from the devious Dr. Igor, who is trying to shock her back into reality, that allows Veronika to reacquire the will to live and love. Employing his trademark blend of religious and philosophical overtones, Coelho focuses on his central question: why do people go on when life seems unfair and fate indifferent? The simple, often banal prose contrasts Veronika’s bleak inner landscape with the beautiful contours of Slovenia, gradually culminating in an upbeat ending with the message that each day of life is a miracle. Coelho’s latest will appeal to readers who enjoy animated homilies about the worth of human existence.
