I'm in the process of reading two books:
Wicked (which for some reason i'm having a hard time following, maybe have to start it all over again)
and Shopaholic & Baby. I love the Confessions of a Shopaholic books.

I saw Wicked with a good friend of mine. She read the book afterwards and found it very weird and difficult to read. It's not just you!

After breezing through a Katie MacAllister book (seriously, they're terrible - why do I keep getting talked into reading them?), I started on one I got for Christmas (that I was really excited about)....only to find out it was a sequel and I'm pretty sure the whole plot of the first book was given away in the two paragraphs I read. Ugh. I guess I'll be buying the first & third books now so I can read this one.

I'm reading Book #3 in the "Fifty Shades" trilogy, "Fifty Shades Freed". To be honest, I'm over it, and the writing is isht, but I spent the money on the trilogy at Costco, so I figured that I might as well finish it. Sigh...
Next is Book #3 from the Hunger Games Trilogy, "Mocking Jay". Yeah, I'm a little behind the times, oh well.....

Jen Lancaster is probably one of my favorite authors! Like you, I too hate chick lit but her books are hilarious. Bright Lights, Big Ass is my favorite of hers.
I'm trying to get through Steve Coll's Ghost Wars but it's taking forever.

I tried to read that once but it seemed so slow at the beginning, did it ever pick up?

My 8th Graders are reading "That Was Then, This Is Now" and my 7th Graders are reading "Freak the Mighty", so I am reading them again (absolutely refused to teach "Hatchet" again - can't stand that book.)
Personally, I am finishing "The Sixth Lamentation". It's about the fallout of the betrayal of an underground group who fought the Nazis in France, set in present day England.

I hate Hatchet, too.
My mom has me read the books she foists on her 3rd graders because then she can rope me into projects. I've read a lot of elementary school books lately. My favorite was Lion Library.

LOVE LOVE LOVE That Was Then, This is Now. Outsiders is one of my favorite books ever so once I read Outsiders I had to read everything else by S.E. Hinton lol.

it did pick up, but it took a while. it was a little predictable but otherwise enjoyable. i actually really like her writing style, but i guess the book itself wasn't grabbing me.
