Perfect for When You’re Expecting:
Hot Mamas: The Ultimate Guide to Staying Sexy Throughout Your Pregnancy and the Months Beyond (Doubleday) by Lou Paget.
If you want a pregnancy book that deals solely with heartburn tips and swollen ankles, this is not the book for you. But if you want a book that promises to make your pregnancy a luscious, sexy, fun experience, sex educator Lou Paget delivers (so to speak). With detailed diagrams and unblushing information, Paget covers exactly what kind of emotional and physical changes may affect your intimate life during your pregnancy and the “fourth trimester” (aka the six months after birth), and how to embrace what many women find to be a decidedly un-sexy time in their lives.
Perfect for When You Want to Crack a Case:
The Lighthouse (Knopf) by P.D. James
P.D. James is the mistress of the literary whodunit. Her thoroughly researched books draw you in with meticulous details, and you can’t check your brains at the door. The Lighthouse is the thirteenth Adam Dalgliesh mystery, which takes place at a high-powered retreat on Coombe Island off the Cornish coast. When author Nathan Oliver (most certainly not beloved by his fellow island dwellers) is murdered, Dalgliesh and his team must find the killer.
