bookshelves: chick-lit
What made this "happily ever after" story stand out from others is the storyline itself. Much as "The Devil Wears Prada" and "The Nanny Diaries" provided an inside look into the worlds of magazine publishing and NYC nanny-ing, this offers a glimpse of the waiter-ing world to those of us who haven't ever done it...and though I'm sure there's a bit of stereotyping and dramatic license included, the restaurant world makes an interesting backdrop for the main character and her romantic exploits. Liked it. ]]> 31956483 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 19:23:23 -0700 Review27745281 http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/27745281 to: The Dog Walker : A Novel (Hardcover) by Leslie Schnur

I can't believe I've waited so long to read this wonderful book! I was a bit surprised at how...bawdy it was in parts, but even those are done well, contributing to an overall story that is extremely entertaining and intriguing. The only thing that disappointed was the quick, almost choppy end. Granted, we know how the Witch's story ends...but it would have been nice for the sequence of events - told from the Witch's perspective - to have felt as full and fleshed out as the rest of the novel. ]]> 29966736 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 06:06:24 -0700 Review26195150 http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/26195150 to: The Last Templar (Paperback) by Raymond Khoury
This is similar to Dan Brown's novels (Angels & Demons, The DaVinci Code), but with just enough of a distinction (in writing style and in plot line) to make for an interesting read. The one disappointment was being able to figure out some of the twists and turns a little too easily as I was reading. ]]> 27829074 Sat, 14 Jun 2008 18:29:48 -0700 Review24512328 http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/24512328 to: Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons: A Novel (Mass Market Paperback) by Lorna Landvik
