What’s this? A cover that has a woman on it with a head! (Sorry, still peeved.)
Right the book! Big Boned is the third (but hopefully not the last) book in Meg Cabot’s Heather Wells mystery series. This is the first one that I done as an audio book and it translates pretty well (as we [...]

I think I love Shannon Hale.
I’ll admit it, I was a bit skeptical. I mean I loved Shannon Hale’s young adult fiction but that didn’t necessarily mean that her writing would translate well to contemporary fiction…especially chick-lit. Especially Austen inspired chick-lit. I mean, it was called Austenland. It’s kind of a high order isn’t [...]

And if the Harper Collins Canada First Look program never sends me another book I shall forever blame the post office. You see, at the end of June I received word that I would be getting a book to review from the program. Yay! I like books! I was worried that it would be late [...]

Do you know what I did today? No? Well I’ll tell you. I shut down my computer before 5pm! That’s so totally unheard of lately. And, AND I’m not working tomorrow. Tomorrow is MY day. Woohoo! (Of course, I’ll totally be working on Sunday but shhhh I’m not thinking about that right now.)
So I shut [...]

Lookie there. I finished a book. I feel like I’ve really slowed down lately and I know that’s really not a bad thing as it generally means I’m doing other things (like laundry! and grocery shopping!) but it feels weird.
In the Cinderella Pact Nola and her two best friends make a pact to lose weight [...]

I picked up this one because I thought the concept of a special area in the park just for pugs was sort of amusing. And pugs are often amusing.
Unfortunately the book wasn’t all that amusing. At least the main character didn’t work in publishing. Hope worked as a painting restorer at the Met. She’s [...]

I’m not going to lie. I didn’t think this was a great book. But I thought that it said some interesting things about books. Or at least it did in the first half of the novel. After Dora starts dating someone it become less bookish.
I thought that the classification of readers - starting with the [...]

I have absolutely no clue how Hex and the Single Girl got on my reading list. It’s probably best that I don’t know.
But I do like the frog on the cover.
This was sort of…odd I suppose. In many ways it was a typical chick-lit/romance type of novel but in another way it just simply didn’t [...]

Ok. I know. It’s chick-lit. I know I shouldn’t expect much. But man, was I ever disappointed with Slightly Engaged.
You see, I rather liked the first one in this series, Slightly Single. Yeah she was doing that stupid girl thing of hanging onto a guy who treated her like crap but I could forgive [...]

I’m not going to lie. I spent the first half of this book really annoyed with these wimpy women. It got a bit better but I really didn’t love it or them.
There’s Finn - she’s supposed to be the tough one. She’s a female construction worker and as such she faces a lot [...]
