Hmmm...more books this week. I can't help myself, especially when most of these were 80% off...From the back cover of PS, I Love You, by Cecelia Ahern

Holly and Gerry are the kind of married couple that others envy. Then, at the age of 30, Gerry is diagnosed with a terminal illness. Holly doesn't know how she'll go on without him, and in truth, she doesn't want to. But Gerry has other plans for Holly. Months after Gerry's death, Holly receives a package of letters that he's left for her, instructing her to perform a series of unexpected tasks. With the help of the letters---and her fun, quick-witted girlfriends and a raucously endearing family that smothers, loves, and drives her crazy---Holly wobbles, weaves, and jokes her way toward a new life, even larger than the one that she'd been forced to leave behind.
