Book of the Month: February

After quite a few requests that I start a regular feature on my blog, I thought, why not? So "Book of the Month" it is, from now on, published in the first week of every month.
Now that we celebrate St. Valentines Day this month, I have put together a list of some nice books, which are not necessarily high on the "Mush" and "Gooey" factor, but nonetheless manage to give you that breezy, goody good feel :)
However, if you are looking for some Mills and Boons type of romance over here, then please move ahead... this is not for you!!

So here below, my nominations and the Book of the Month:

5. Romeo and Juliet -- William Shakespeare
4. The Notebook -- Nicholas Sparks
3.Eleven Minutes -- Paulo Coehlo
2. Pride and Prejudice -- Jane Austen

And the Book of the Month is "P.S. I Love You" by Cecelia Ahern.

Now though the title may sound a bit cheesy, this one is not your run of the mill kind of romances. Set in Dublin, Ireland, the story revolves around Holly and her dead husband Jerry who has left her a bundle of notes each ending with the sentence P.S. I love you. These notes help Holly to move on with her life after the sudden death of Jerry

Funny, emotional and warm, the readers will find themselves laughing and crying with Holly as she slowly makes her way into a new life.
The best thing about this book is that it is romantic without being corny, cheesy and full of outdated tedious love quotes. Also, the author has used Irish English throughout the book which gives it a very delightful flavour.

Grab your copy now, snuggle up on your couch and feel the magic of love that promises to live on even after death.
