I don't think it matters what we read as long as we're reading, right? :D Oh Charli that sounds good–yes I went and looked. I don’t think it matters what we read as long as we’re reading, right? :D

Women's Fiction authors can lay claim to it. Also, I'd add Sarah Addison's Garden Spells as another WF. Along with Pratical Magic by Alice Hoffman, but I think that's the high brow end of WF. Is The Color Purple women’s fiction?

Another really beautiful writer is Marsha Moyer (The Second Coming of Lucy Hatch is the first book in her series). She's also from Texas :D If you want WF without the sappy endings might i rec the last two Jane Porter books I read--esp Odd Mom Out. I loved that heroine!

It's a great story about growth, family, healing, and of course love. If you're bitter and cynical (like me), the sap-factor might be a little bit hard to stomach. But if you really believe in true love and happy endings, it's a fantastic book. Twisted Creek by Jodi Thomas is one of my all-time favorite books, and one of the only women's fiction books that didn't send me into a sugar-induced coma. It's sooo good and the writing is absolutely beautiful. It's about personal growth and healing (as is most women's fic), but it's about an entire town and not just one person. Such a gorgeous book.
