I want something heartwarming and light. Or uplifting and inspirational.

I loved jane eyre, but really don't care for any other things by the Bronte sisters.

I loved Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility, but again these are the only two.

  2. Read something written by Jane Austen. She writes things in that general genre.

    That book is amazing.

    Or maybe...Ethan Frome by Wharton?

    I'm not sure on that one, though.

  8. About an hour ago I just finished The Time Traveler's Wife, I loved it.  It is an unconventional love story between a normal woman and a man who involuntarily travels through time.  If you liked Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice, you will probably like this book.
