I just finished reading "Shopaholic Ties the Knot"
I read most of it while on vacation at the beach.

I thought it was really cute, but the bad thing is I never read the second one, "Shopaholic Takes Manhattan". Everytime I try to look for it, Barnes & Nobles is out of stock- I will probably just order it online.

I am going to start reading this other book I bought about a year ago and havent had a chance to read it yet, its called "Dog Traning" ;)

and i hadn't heard about it until my dad mentioned something to me after it happened... i probably would have gone...

I just finished reading The Farming of Bones by Edwidge Danticat...Great book. It's about the Haitian massacre of 1937.

I'm still working on Harry Potter 5.... :o

My next two books are The Dive From Clausen's Pier & High Maintenance .

I've heard awesome things about The Dive From Clausen's Pier so that is definately a book I wanted to read!!!!

I haven't heard anything about High Maintenance but it seems like a cute book to read.

i know i read it, but i can't remember anything about it to tell you... i'm sorry!

I'm reading Eating the Cheshire Cat right now and I'm surprised that I put it down to come online!! I picked it up when I got home @ 5:30pm today and I'm already at part 2...!

Really good book!

I just bought The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks today... I've always heard it's good.

Has anyone read it?

OMG I *LOVE* Eating the Cheshire Cat!!! I could not put it down after reading the first section!

PSPGirl -- I've never heard of The Notebook... what's it about?

mu_agd -- that's ok! I guess the book was that unforgettable :p j/k ;) :)

From what I remember from when I first heard about the book, it's about a man writing down his and his wife's love story for his wife who has alzheimers.

I've heard it's a tearjerker. I'll have to read to find out!

The Notebook is a great book!! i read it while traveling europe.
i never cry and......
wow.
anyway, i've been looking for Eating the Chesire Cat and can't find it. who is the author?
thanks!

Yay! I'm looking foward to reading it!

Nicholas Sparks fans: his new book "The Wedding" comes out in early September.

PSPGirl, that book sounds great!

I hope so! :D

*ooh, 400th post!*

allright, i finished Trading Up by Candace Bushnell yesterday. i really liked it!

and then i started Babyville by Jane Green. I'm only a few chapter in, but i like it so far..

I just started What You Owe Me by Bebe Moore Campbell. It looks like this is going to be another great book.;)

I finally started The Dive From Clausen's Pier and so far it's an awesome book :)

I don't generally read for pleasure, hell I don't really read what I am supposed to for class. I don't like to read, not books anyway. I am attempting to read One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. It is pretty good thus far. I think I might just finish this book. :D Anyone ever read it?

Right now I'm reading The Scandalous Summer of Sissy LeBlanc by Loraine Despres and I'm really enjoying it.

I just finished The Cheer Leader by Jill McCorkle, and I didn't like it. I picked it up because the story takes place in North Carolina, but there really aren't many references other than mentioning college names. The back of the book insinuates that the story has a lot of Southern culture in it, but I did not find this to be the case. I found most of the end of the book to be hard to get through because it's rambly.

Next I'm reading Jemima J by Jane Green and In Her Shoes by Jennifer Weiner. All very girly, light summer reading type books, but hey, I'm taking a break before school has me reading Shakespeare!

I also am waiting for I Don't Know How She Does It to come out in paperback, and I'd like to read The Devil Wears Prada.

*bump* :)

I'm about 3/4 of the way into The Dive From Clausen's Pier and I'm not so sure I like it.

For some reason, whenever the book talks about Kilroy's character, I think of Tony DiMera (from Days of our Lives). I don't particiularly like Kilroy.. and I don't like how Carrie skipped out on Rooster's wedding! I was sooooo looking forward to reading a chapter of the back-home stuff.... but oh well.

I'm debating whether or not I want to finish this book.. hehehe. I think I will though.. just to see what happens at the end.

I just finished Shopgirl by Steve Martin (yes, that Steve Martin). It was cute, but it could have been a short story in the New Yorker. I can't believe he got a book deal out of it.

i just finished Babyville by Jane Green and loved it!

now it's on to Sushi for Beginners by Marian Keyes...

I just started Reading e. by Matthew Beaumont. He's an English author and this book is written entirely in emails. It takes place in an advertising agency who is trying to land a Coca-Cola account.

While I've just started, it's absolutely hilarious.

bump!
 

I'm 90% finished with Confessions of a Failed Southern Lady. It's definitely :eek: but I love it!!!! My grandmother would absolutely die if she knew what it was about! :p

I just finished American Gods by Neil Gaiman for the 2nd time. Excellent book!

Now I'm reading Branded. Definitely recommended reading for our generation. It opened my eyes to a lot of things and made me really sad.

I finished reading The Dive From Clausen's Pier sometime last week and I don't think it is my favorite.. the whole thing just seemed so ... sad!

Just this afternoon I finished High Maintenance and I totally loved it :) It was so hilarious I just had to keep reading until I was done!

I got to see Alissa Quart (the author) speak for our program (she's an alum of my school). It was a great presentation! I'm ordering the book on amazon.com.

I just finished Naked by David Sedaris. Hilarious!

while i was gone ~ sue miller

white oldeander ~ janet fitch

holes ~ louis sachar (the childrens book....its wonderful!! i love newberry award winning books!)

I just finished this book called "I Do, But I Don't" by Cara Lockwood. If you need a book to read in like a day or two that is REALLY funny, I highly recommend this!

I started reading e and it is absolutely HILARIOUS! It's definately an interesting book because it is written entirely in emails!

Has anyone else read any of the "Shopaholic" series? I just finished the last one ("The Shopaholic gets Married" I think). Anyhow, it's wonderful mind candy!

re: shopaholic series
 

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the shopaholic series!!!! It was actually those books that got me 'reading for fun' again!

i just finished reading apocalipstick by sue margolis..i really enjoyed it

e
 

I'm about 3/4 through e by Matt Beaumont and it is postively one of the most hilarious books I've read so far!

Does anyone else know of a book similiar to this one? (That is written in entirely emails, or letters, ... something other than regularly-written fiction)

Is anyone else still doing fun reading even though it's not summer any more?

I absolutely need to keep reading 'fun' stuff b/c I will go insane with just school books!

Re: e
 

The Boy Next Door by Meggin Cabbott. I liked this book a lot.

I read The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks a couple weeks ago. A good sappy short read. I sent a copy to the bf too.

I just bought Confessions of a Shopaholic and I can't wait to start reading it!

The Shopaholic Ties the Knot was really good. I read it on the beach on July 4.

Re: Re: e
 

thanks for the suggestion, I will definatley check it out!
