Heart and Soul Maeve Binchy

Very readable, interesting characters, but becoming a little formulaic.

Handle With Care Jodie Picoult

Really interesting account of child with brittle bone disease. And family falling apart when mom decides to file a wrongful birth case against the obgyn, her best friend, and husband disagrees. Older daughter caught in the middle deals with eating disorders and cutting. Attorney deals with her own adoption, and the finding of her birth mother.

The Towering World of Jimmy Choo Crowe/DeRosen

An advance copy. A very interesting story of the young woman Tamara Yeardye Mellon who teamed up with Jimmy Choo to take his shoes into a multimillion dollar industry. Lots of name dropping, but that was her ability; to use her contacts to advance her business.
