Rec some good books for ME

HisBetterHalf

I have $50 worth of GCs to Barns and Noble.  I'd like to pick up a few books either for pleasure or baby related and maybe even something for DD.  I enjoy chick lit but not all of it (never got into Shopaholic series but LOVED the Jen Lancaster books).  I also like Jodi Picoult type books.  I loved The Memory Keeper's Daughter as well.  As for baby related stuff, I already have What to Expect the First Year and First Year Week by Week as well as plenty of PG books.  Any other suggestions?

TWILIGHT.

I SO didn't think it'd be my style, but I am hooked!

Siblings Without Rivalry by Faber/Meizlish is a great book!

Recent books I liked a lot:

The Story of Edgar Sawtelle - David Wroblewski

The Road - Cormac McCarthy

American Wife - Curtis Sittenfeld

The Hour I First Believed - Wally Lamb (not as good as his first two - if you haven't read those they are must reads)

The Brief Wondrous Lofe of Oscar Wao - Junot Diaz

What Was Lost - Catherine O'Flynn

Also, any/all of Tom Perotta's or Barbara Kingsolver's books

I am reading Obama's Memoirs of my Father right now and it is also very good
