Yeah. Give grapefruit. Back.

I'll be so glad when this woman is out of your hair.

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...

Ok. Poo would be pretty bad. A severed penis would probably make me famous! Scarred for life, but famous!

FWIW, I once had a bag of Hershey's chipits that were chalky. I called the 800 number and they sent me $10 worth of coupons for free chocolate chips.

Aly, motherhood has softened your killer company ass-kicking instincts, I think!

This wasn't any soggy Lean Cuisine microwave pizza. THERE WERE BUGS IN THE CHOCOLATE! The only worse thing I can think of being in a box of chocolate would be a dead bird. Or a live one waiting to peck my eyes out.

I just finished The Gift Bag Chronicles by Hilary DeVries. It was actually better than the first few pages had me believing.

Now I'm reading French Women Don't Get Fat by Mirielle Guilano and Match me if you can by Susan Elizabeth Philips.

I gave up on The Wonder Spot. I couldn't get into it.

Now I'm reading A Girl Named Zippy, recommended by Ruth. I'm loving it!

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...

I'm reading The Frog Prince by Jane Porter. Yes, it's chicklit, but it's pretty good.

I'm now reading "It's my wedding too", a frothy book about a girl who is drowning in wedding plans and torn between her mother and her future mother-in-law. So far it's pretty funny. It's by Sharon Naylor, who actually is a wedding planner.

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...

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......
