		| Originally posted by barely_legal yeah, I picked the one with the earliest publication date.  Sometimes that gets confusing with multiple editions and paperback editions, but I got the right one this time.  I will let you know what I think after I read the first one.  The good thing about reserving books this old is that I should get them from the library very quickly.
 
 and fyi, I hate books about war and the mafia.  I don't know why, I just do.  The only partial exception I make is the for the Maisie Dobbs mysteries, which take place after WW1 but deal very heavily with WW1 issues and events.

  I read a Maisie Dobbs mystery over break and was going to recommend, except I couldn't remember the title, the protagonist's name, or the author's name, so I was useless.
On romance-y stuff, do you like chick lit (Jane Green etc.), contemporary romance or historical (Mary Jo Putney, Mary Balogh, Jo Beverly, etc.)?  
I don't want money, I just want them to go to a good home.
