I really enjoyed reading [The Little Princess], it's such a cute story! But if you're not into a cutsie story, and/or you like mysteries I would suggest [The Weekend was Murder] (sorry, I can't remember the authors for either of these books)
I just recently read Remembering Raquel. It is a fantastic book and it is very inspiring. I think people that love to read stories that make them reflect on their own lives would enjoy this book. While reading this book you could be thinking of many different ways it could go. I REALLY ENJOYED IT!!!
