Week #4 of Book Recommendations - Going from Highly Recommended to Very Highly Recommended

Yes, I am well aware that it is Thursday.  It seems that every week I get a little bit later.  Be that as it may (in other words, tough toenails), here's the next 25.  I want to point out that the genre descriptions are coming from the source.  You all know how I feel about the designations "chick lit," "women's fiction," and "women's literature."  But, if that's what the recommender is calling it, then that's what I'm going to post.
