Books - What I've read lately

I've been reading a lot of books lately.  Pregnancy books and just for fun books.  I think I read 3 (fun books) in the Bahamas:

Drop Shot (A Myron Bolitar book) - Harlan Coben - Myron is an ex star athlete turned sports agent who finds himself with clients or friends in legal trouble.  The books are about his turn as an investigator, while still doing his day job.  I've read 4 of these I think.  They are pretty good. 
The Simple Truth - David Baldacci - Love Baldacci books.  Nice Suspense, easy to read.  This one has an interesting twist or two.
The Blue Bistro - Elin Hilderbrand - Elin lives in Nantucket and all of her books are based here.  This is the second book I have read by Elin.  Good summer, beach reads. 

Since the Bahamas, I've read a couple more:
A Vision in White (The Bride Quartet Book 1) - Nora Roberts - 4 friends grow up playing "wedding" and end up with a wedding planning business together.  Each serves their role.  This book focuses mainly on the photographer Mac.  I imagine each character will have her own book.  Good book, quick read.  Would definitely read the rest in the series.

And the latest book I have read is: 


And I'm puzzled by the ending.  It left me full of questions.  I don't want to say too much about the book, but if you have read it, let's discuss please.  It was a good book, based on a love story through three stages in the characters' lives.  But the last paragraph of the book changes everything and I am not sure what to think......

What have you been reading lately?  I am ready for something new....(And I'll be getting caught up on the pregnancy books I have finished...I should probably review those on here at some point too!)

LOVE Harlen Coben. One of my favorite authors! If you haven't read any of the other books (the non-Myron Bolitar ones), defintely do. They're gripping! I also love David Baldacci! If you haven't read Daniel Silva's books, you'll like them a lot if you like the other authors above.

A great summer read is Last Days of Summer by Steve Kluger. Not a well known book, but hysterical! I laughed out loud constantly when reading it.

I'm reading the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo now - its hard to get into at first but worth it so far! Also I love Time Traveler's Wife, that is my favorite by far. Have you read any Emily Giffin? She is great, all of her books are very good stories and easy to read. Water for Elephants is also great!
I do like Anita Shreve, but I haven't read the one that you have questions about, I'll do that after I finish the Dragon Tattoo.

Hey! I've read The Last Time They Met and was upset by the ending. Again - won't give it away, but next time we see each other, we'll discuss!

I've also read Water for Elephants and it was really good! The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo is on my list for the summer, that whole trilogy actually.

One of my favorite books of all time is Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers! It's a fiction novel based on the book of Hosea from the Bible. I haven't met anyone that has read it that didn't just find it amazing!
