An interesting and adventurous ride into Manhattan's elite social society.

The Willoughbys

Very cute children's book that is a parody of other famous children's books about orphans. I loved the references and comparisons to the classics.

The Friday Night Knitting Club

For a great story about life and friendship this is perfection. I hold it right up there with Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons, Fried Green Tomatoes, Steel Magnolias, and Beaches! Could I say more?

The Next Thing On my List

I loved this book!!! It is definitely going on my keeper shelf and will be read again! It really inspired me for the new year. I'm tired of not truly living my life- you know just going through the motions. I am going to make a list of 10 things to do before my 30th birthday and I am going to do it!!

Chasing Harry Winston

I feel bad giving this review because I love the author's first two books (The Devil Wears Prada and Everyone Worth Knowing), but I just could not get into this book. I bought it the week it came out, and to be honest I probably wouldn't have finished it if it weren't for one of my friends picking it as our December book club selection. The characters are unbelievable and the ending just doesn't connect with the beginning. I was especially sad about Emmy- she sets off wanting to do nothing more than get married and have babies then decides to have some one night stands, esjoys that for about a second, then ends with going to the gyno. and wanting to know if her eggs are still fertile, and I'm sorry but her original boyfriend coming back to her and wanting to be with her and then her saying no was very predictable. I really was dissatisfied with all the characters progression through the story...
