The Great Escape; Someday, Someday, Maybe; Graveyard Blues

Her Pick: Someday, Someday, Maybe by Lauren Graham
The Parenthood star's first novel definitely has a chick lit feel, which I usually avoid like the plague, but I've been whipping through it while drinking tea and eating cookies. I love the characters and the gritty setting, New York circa 1995 (no cell phones!) Even though I know where the story's headed, I'm enjoying the trip.

Her Pick: The Great Escape by Susan Elizabeth Phillips
I'll admit it: sometime after a stressful day I like to relax with a glass of wine and a nice romance novel. The Great Escape, a followup to Call Me Irresistible, is a gem among bodice-rippers – intelligent, funny and hot enough to make you sigh. Instead of saying "I do," Lucy Joran jilts her too-perfect groom at the altar and hooks up with "Panda," a tough-looking stranger who's not what he seems. It's a wild ride.

Her pick: Graveyard Blues by Reina Salt
Hettie, the protagonist of this self-published horror novel, is a zombie – a murder victim – who becomes reanimated digging her way out of her grave. She and a retired police detective end up fighting her killer, a ghoul who can wear the skins of others. Creepy characters, detailed descriptions and it's short. If you like scary stuff, it's a good one.
