Dear Reader

Not a bookselling site - just a place where I can chat about what I've been reading lately.

back to chick lit

I worked for 13 days straight this week (and last week, natch), so I am both exhausted and punchy. So, chick lit was the way to go last weekend. I read Contents under pressure by Lara M. Zeises - not chick lit per se, just an agreeable book for young teens. I would read other books by this author, but I'm not rushing out to find them. Then I re-read Boy meets girl by Meg Cabot. I like this much better than The boy next door by the same author, though they're similar in plot and tone. I have a fabulous pile of books waiting for me - Jon Stewart's book, Karen Armstrong's The Spiral Staircase, Susan Coolidge's In the High Valley. I doubt I'll tackle anything but Coolidge in the next few days. I'm sooooo tiiired!
Oh - and I watched School Ties and 13 going on 30 yesterday, also the Saturday re-runs of Survivor and The Apprentice. 'Bout all I could do, honestly. Tonight I'm psyched for Desperate Housewives. I think I can relate, and Felicity Huffman's in it!

Oh, I loved "Why Girls are Weird"! Books can't have too many Lloyd Dobler references - and I include Chuck Klosterman's "Sex Drugs and Cocoa Puffs" in this (which discusses the Lloyd Dobler phenomenon, along with loads of other things). I'll have to check out the Tessaro and Senate books. I like Meg Cabot, though I was disappointed by "Every Boy's Got One".
