I'm just about to finish up "My Old Man" by Amy Sohn, not sure what I've got lined up next!

~~ I started "Turning Japanese" by Cathy Yardley. Cute so far!

Surprisingly I just finished my first Janet Evanovich book, One for the Money.  Just started Two for the Dough.  I can't believe I've never read a Stephanie Plum book.

Just finished "Twenties Girl" by Sophie KInsella - my first time reading anything of hers, I have a few on my TBR but never felt moved to read them, but this one was really cute.

Margaret- Sophie Kinsella is one of my faves! I think I read the entire Shopaholic Series in a week. I have Twenties Girl on myTBR.

I just finished up reading The Journal of Mortifying Moments by Robyn Harding; started out a bit slow, but it was good!

I plan to start reading Hit Reply by Rocki St. Claire tonight.

I'm working on Last Night at Chateau Marmont Author: Lauren Weisberger right now. It's a little slow-going right now, but I'm hoping it will get better. I received this copy from the library, so no big loss if it stays a bit of a dud. After that, I have Chasing Harry Winston by the same author.

I'm about to start reading "Where Is He Now?" by Jennifer Greene. I just finished "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert (which I loved!).

I just finished reading "Balancing Acts" by Zoe Fishman.  It was a great read, great characters that I just wanted to keep reading about.  I started

"Mini-Shopaholic" by Sophie Kinsella and so far I love it!

I just started reading "The Queen Gene" by Jennifer Coburn.

*** Whoops, I just saw that's actually book 2 of another series. I think I will order that one ("Tales from the Crib"), put this one aside, and start something else in the meantime!

I picked "Spa Wars" by Chris Manby and am already halfway through. I think she should be added to the "always recommended" list - her books are light and fun and always enjoyable! Sometimes they are hard to find since I think she's printed more in England than here, but worth the wait.

I'm reading Countdown to Lockdown by Mick Foley. It's been a great look inside the comeback of a pro-wrestler!

I'm starting book one of the "Theodora" series (Theodora's Diary). It's cute already, so I'm going to read the other two right after.

OK, the Theodora books were all adorable. I just started "Commencement," can't remember the author.
