I finished American Girls About Town. There were a few stories that I really loved. Laugh out loud loved and a few that were okay. A few that I didn't like at all.

I am going to start Sweetgrass by Mary Alice Monroe. I figure I can't go wrong with a story about the Lowlands (which I love) by one of my favorite authors.

Just read The Perfect Manhattan. It was really good. Girl graduates from Columbia, becomes a bartender and all hell breaks loose. I would recommend it.

I CAN'T WAIT for the new book by the girl who wrote The Devil Wears Prada!!! It comes out 10/4. I will buy that in hardback the day it comes out for sure!

I tried American Girls about Town as well as the Girls Night Out. I couldn't stand the short stories. I just need a full length book to get me invested and involved, I think.

I'm starting The Cereal Murders by Diane Mott Davidson. It's the third book in the Goldy Bear series and I'm enjoying it already.

Finished The Cereal Murders and it was great fun! I am now starting 50 Harbor Street by Debbie Macomber. It's the fifth book in the Cedar Cove series.

I just started Match Me If You Can by Susan Elizabeth Phillips and I am loving it! It's about a woman who is running her deceased grandmother's matchmaking business. It's really cute so far.

Finished Match Me If You Can. What a cute book! It would make the perfect chick flick. I want to go and buy the books that preceded this one now.

I am starting Oh My Stars by Lorna Landvik next.

Finished Eleven On Top. Every one of these books has made me laugh at loud. I would love to see a TV series based on these books, especially to see a real Ranger.

Native_texan, have you read Janet Evanovich's "Metro Girl"? It isn't quite as funny
as the Stephanie Plum series but there is a scene in a tropical swamp that is the funniest thing ever.

Just read Everyone Worth Knowing by Lauren Weisberger the author of The Devil Wears Prada. I liked it a lot! Setting is basically the same as her first, but I love reading about New York and crazy jobs. Very cute, fast read! I recommend it!

I've ordered that one, Jen, so that's good to know!

I am going to start Two For The Dough. I know I am way behind the times with these but I do have the whole set to read.

Loved Two For The Dough. I enjoy the characters immensely. I'm spreading out reading all of them though because I have so many books yet to read and I will do it slowly.

It's probably smart to spread them out. I hate it when I devour an author, finish all their books and then all of a sudden realize that I have to wait until they write another. What a letdown!

I just discovered the Stephanie Plum mysteries. A friend lent me a copy of the ninth book, don't remember the name. It was so much fun that I rushed to the bookstore and bought the first four in paperback. Now I'm on the second one. Stephanie reminds me of a brunette, American Bridget Jones. kind of a mess but gets the cute guys anyway.

I started The Thing About Jane Spring by Sharon Krum last night. It's about an attorney who is so tough and hardnosed and can't seem to get a second date with anyone. On the date in the beginning of the book, she devours raw steak and chocolate cake, tells the guy that if a man is not good in bed, she tells him, etc. She decides to fashion herself after Doris Day in her old movies and see what happens.

Just finished The Secret Lives Of Fortunate Wives by Sarah Strohmeyer. What a fun read! A catty, witty look into a privileged community. I recommend it.

This weekend I read "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Men I Have Dated." Nothing stellar, but was lightly entertaining. That was good enough for me! It's the story of a girl who runs into the guy that she had a crush on since first grade. She starts a plan to get him interested, then when he is she stresses because she had not been completely honest with him about who she is.

I just finished Sweetgrass! Wow, that was a good one. I actually was so into the book I had to force myself to turn the the back and read the last few pages, just so I could be sure things were going to turn out okay and I could get on with my housework.

Well, I just read 'Something Borrowed' by: Emily Giffin. It is really good I recommend it. At first I thought I wouldn't like it, given the premise of the novel is about a girl sleeping with her best friends fiancee. But, once I started I just couldn't stop myself. I found it sad and happy at the same time. It's different read. Looking forward to reading 'Something Blue' I guess the sequel for it.

Harsbars, I loved Something Borrowed. It was a lot of fun. I still haven't gotten Something Blue yet.
