A funny story of a single girl tired of being pressured by her family to find a man. The movie The Wedding Date is loosely based on this novel.

The first of Jen Lancaster's books, it's so funny, yet you really feel what it's like to be just barely hanging on after both Jen and Fletch lose their jobs.

This book was very hard to put down!! Amazing twist toward the end. Makes you wonder what goes on in the mind of the mentally ill who have children.

Wonderful story of life in post-war London. Fascinating look into the lives of the midwives in the 1950s.


The Cat Who Brought Down the House (Cat Who...Bk 25) (Audio Cassette) (Unabridged)
Review Date: 3/29/2014


I have been enjoying this series for years. I haven't read them in order, but I still enjoy them and don't feel lost in any way (unlike how you can when reading some series). This series is more like being a fly on the wall in a small town and that is part of why I love it.

Doomed Queens: Royal Women Who Met Bad Ends, From Cleopatra to Princess Di
Review Date: 8/23/2014


This was an interesting look at royal women from a wide range of countries, yet one thing remains the same...it's hard to be a woman in charge (or next to the person in charge).

I read Joy School first, not knowing it was the second book in the series. This series is a very sweet & sad look at becoming a young woman without a mother to give you guidance or support.

This was a powerful story of what it means to be lost. The ending could have been stronger, however.

A quick read. I had seen this series for years and so I read this one. I think I would read others in the series if I was on vacation and needed a quick read.
