There's nothing like a curling up with a book full of warm stories to keep you toasty on these cold winter days. Today, we're bringing you our first installment of our Recommendations -- books, activities, films and listening -- that we hope will inspire you to take a little time for yourself.  Today, we're recommending Andrea Buchanan's new book, Live and Let Love: An award-winning actress. A soldier's wife. A cancer survivor. A college student. What these women—what all of us—have in common is a need for love: to give it, to receive it, to express its many aspects. Her first book, Note to Self, featured true and inspiring stories from the lives of powerhouse women, including Mariska Hargitay herself. With Live and Let Love, Andrea Buchanan brings us a new compilation of thought-provoking, illuminating, often poignant essays on love written by some of America's most fascinating and vibrant women.
