185 Hooray! You're welcome. I've added this title to our group bookshelf.
185 I'm fairly certain this is Beginnings.

There's a review of it here: http://hughcentervillesblog.com/?p=269 and it mentions the boyfriend named Fab and everything.
185 Pretty sure this is The Shadow Club
185 Be sure to come back and let us know if that's the right one or not!
185 The Lost Doll, maybe?

From the Kirkus Review: "this story of Emily whose grandma-made doll is left in the park, carried off by a dog and then an old lady, unrecovered through the Police Department's Lost Property Unit, but finally reunited with her owner through the Transit System's public auction of unclaimed articles."

185 Blazing Kisses?

from Google books description: "It is the opportunity of a lifetime for Dream Ticket's representatives at the Hotel San Paulo. They are running the Hot Club for the summer, and the temperature is beginning to rise"
185 I think the book she's thinking of is Leo the Late Bloomer by Robert Kraus.
185 This is from 2004, but I think it fits your description otherwise: Teen Idol

185 The Sick of Being Sick book was the first thing that came to my mind, too. I remember it helping me through a bout of the flu when I was a kid. Also, it was written by RL Stine before he turned scary, which is kind of cool.
185 Reluctant God? The cover matches Kathryn's description, at least. :)
185 And it seems there was an audio version of that magazine: http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Last-Room...
185 I found this on a random blog:

"Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine. It was the November 1985 issue that changed everything.
Inside, I found a story by Nancy C. Swoboda called "Roomer Has It." In it, a man recently paroled from prison moves into a curious room in a boarding house with faded cherub wallpaper. One night over drinks, he brags to his hosts about getting away with murder before going off to bed. They sigh, regretful, and begin reading from an ancient book. The next morning, they go into the man’s room, see that the cherubs on the wallpaper are vivid and fat again, and pack up the things of the now-gone boarder.
The last line of the story reads something like, "Look, Thaddeus! They still won’t eat the buttons!"

185 Hm, this is just a guess and the cover doesn't match your description entirely, but Take Back the Skies has a girl disguising herself as a boy and stowing away on an airship to avoid an arranged marriage.
185 You're welcome! I literally JUST read that book last week. :)
185 The Beginning of Everything by Robyn Schneider, maybe?
