I finished The Wedding and it was amazing! I almost liked it better than The Notebook. Almost! LOL I really really hope they make it into a movie! I predicted parts of the ending, but there were parts I didn't see coming too, which I love. 
I started this book on Tuesday and I was up till 3am this morning finishing it. This was my first Karen Kingsbury book, and I loved it. I laughed and I cried. It was great! Here's the book synopsis: Shane Galanter is ready to put down roots after years of searching. But is he making the right choice? Or is there a woman somewhere who remembers a love that hasn't faded with time? Lauren Gibbs is a successful international war correspondent that gave up on happily-ever-after years ago when it was ripped away from her. So why is life so empty?
Emily Anderson is a college freshman raised by her grandparents, about to take her first internship as a journalist. But before she can move ahead, she discovers a love story whose tragic ending came with her birth. As a result, she is drawn to look back and search out the mother she's never met, and the father she never knew.
This is the book I'm going to start today, I can't wait! In this moving sequel to Even Now, Emily Anderson, now twenty, is attending college on a soccer scholarship when she meets the man who changes everything for her. Lauren and Shane still struggle to move past their opposing beliefs about war, politics, and faith. Shane believes it’s possible; Lauren doesn’t. So she says a painful good-bye to her long-ago love and returns to her job as a war correspondent in Afghanistan. Then tragedy sends shock waves through all their lives. Can Lauren and Shane set aside their opposing views so that love—God’s love—might win, no matter how great the odds?

Renee, I am a huge Nicholas Sparks fan. Have you read his latest "Dear John" or "The Choice"? Those were good, too. Of couse, my favorite was "The Rescue".
Right now, I am reading "Good Harbor", by Anita Diamant. She wrote "The Red Tent" and "Last Days of Dogtown", which were both excellent. Next on my list is "Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruen.
Have you read any of Lolly Winston's books? I read, "Good Grief" and "Happiness Sold Seperately". I think those are all she has written to date but I happened upon her and liked her.
I will have to try Karen Kingsbury sometime.
OOO, I'm so glad you liked "The Wedding." I loved it. I think it was so sweet, and even a little, dare I say, realistic in some areas. :) I just picked up his new one, "The Lucky One" and need to dive into it. But, I know once I do, I won't be able to stop, so I'm pacing myself.
I'll have to check out the new author you posted about. I've never heard of her.
