Sometimes, escaping your world and your wedding is the perfect way to remove stress and get back to You. A great read with engrossing plots, hysterically funny characters, and just beautiful scenery from another world of nature is the perfect prescription for a Rescue.

I'm 2 months away from my wedding, invitations are out, and things are getting hectic, so I make sure I head off to bed a half hour earlier to lose myself in a terrific novel. It works wonders for me! Here are some of my favorite authors:

Barbara Kingsolver (The Bean Trees is my favorite! Kingsolver captures nature like no one else...I always feel like I've just soaked up such peaceful energy when I read her work)

Anita Shreve

Candace Bushnell

Philippa Gregory (and you thought you had problems with YOUR sister! Read all of the Boleyn books for a fun romp through Tudor times...talk about an escape!)

Sophie Kinsella

and check out my comedic novel "It's My Wedding Too" if you want to stay in wedding world and laugh at it.
