I just finished And God Created the Au Pair by a couple of sisters. I can't remember their names right now. It's told entirely through emails and was really funny. One of the sisters has just moved from the UK to Toronto, so it was neat to read from that perspective, and the way they banter about th...

I just finished Goodnight Nobody by Jennifer Weiner (also wrote Good in Bed and In Her Shoes). It was pretty good, although I'm glad I didn't pay money for it. I just started And God Created the Au Pair . 20 pages in I'm really liking it. It's basically correspondence between two sisters who have ki...

I just finished Sweetwater Creek by Anne Rivers Siddons. It was ok. Not her best. She does have a way with coming-of-age-stories though. Now I'm reading the uber fluffy Undomestic Goddess . Does Sophie Kinsella EVER think of deviating from her formula? Probably not. But I'm on holidays and don't wan...

Here are some that come to mind, although I don't know that they're technically my top five: The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay--about a South African kid who becomes a boxer. Way better than the movie. Nora Nora by Anne Rivers Siddons The Family by Anita Burgh A Heartbreaking work of Staggering Ge...

I just finished How to be Famous by Alison Bond. It was one of those books where people's lives intertwine, and I thought it was neat how I ended up liking and disliking different characters than I thought I would. I've got The Wonder Spot by Melissa Bank next. Oh, and I'm still reading Freakonomics...

Lottery by Anita Burgh is good. Actually, most things by Anita Burgh are good! Here's what she says about the novel: Lottery came about because I have always been fascinated by the effect money has on people's characters and lives. My own mother-in-law was extremely wealthy and I have often felt her...

What are you reading right now? (September)
I just finished The Mermaid Chair by Sue Monk Kidd. I liked it, but it wasn't as richly woven as Secret Life of Bees. Most of the characters seemed sort of flat to me. Now I'm on a fluffy chicklit: Tuesday's Child by Louise Bagshawe. It's about a tomboy who turns feminine to get a much needed job......
