Since we're not totally RDI obsessed....
Oh I just got that in the mail yesterday from BM! I also got The Anglophile and Mafia Chic. I'm waiting for Miss Bubbles Steals the Show and Tart. I am expecting one more PBS point in which I'll be ordering Swapping Feathers - this is why I am still overflowing with books!!!
Mod
Mafia Chic was a really cute story and I LOVED Miss Bubbles! But then again, I'm more of a cat person than a dog person.
I have the other three but haven't read them yet.
I have a spreadsheet that shows what books I am still looking for...to complete my RDI series I need (thank you Stacy for the RDI complete list!):Dating Can Be Deadly
Rescuing Rose
Technical Hitch
Mean Season
Let's Meet on Platform 8 (ok I'll give it a chance)
Welcome to the Real World (this one too)
With or Without You (yeah yeah this too)
The Sex Was Great But...
Summer in the Land Of Skin
Lucky Girl
10 more books and my RDI book collection will be complete!!! Now reading them all is a separate issue.
AND IF ANYONE WANTS A COPY OF FASHIONISTAS YOU CAN MOOCH MINE!!!
Is Fashionistas not good? I have that book and haven't read it yet. CRAP!

Kourtney, I have "Let's Meet on Platform 8." A friend of mine gave it to me and I haven't read it, and I'm truthfully not sure that I will. If you want it, I'm happy to give it a good home!
Also, I really enjoyed "Welcome to the Real World." I don't have that one anymore, but I definitely think you should give it a chance (even my mom liked it, and we never like the same books).
Ohhh Jen can you put it up on BM and I'll pull it off of your list (or if you can reserve it for me - I don't know how to do that)? Thanks for that! I was going to get Welcome to the Real World on my Kindle until I realized I may not want to keep it so I'm going to find it on one of these trading sites :)
Tara - Have you read the Mim Warner book yet? To be honest I am not a fan of Lynn Messina's. I have her other book "Tallulahland" and that is my last Lynn Messina try. Give it a try though you may like it! Lindsay Lohan loved it and wanted to be in the movie (doesn't say much but there you go!)

I have all those Kourtney - keep me up to date on what you get and if I read any before you get them elsewhere, they're yours.

Actually, I have a bunch of TBD's in my challenge list now. Maybe I can work some in.
Oh - and I'm glad you're giving Carole another shot! :)

I haven't read the Mim Warner book yet. I do have it. I also have Tallulahland. Lindsay Lohan....HAHAHAHAHA! That's all I have to say about her. LOL!
Mod
I just got an email this morning from the library that Best Friends Forever is FINALLY in!!!!
I'll be picking that up tonight and attempting to speed read it before Hope in a Jar comes in.
YAY!!! Stacy.....it seemed like forever.
It is a quick read, Stacy. I am sure you will get it done really fast.
Kourtney wrote: "Ohhh Jen can you put it up on BM and I'll pull it off of your list (or if you can reserve it for me - I don't know how to do that)? Thanks for that!"Kourtney, I closed my Bookmooch account, so I'm only on PBS now. I don't need a credit for it...just PM me your address and I'll send it to you. Whenevever you make it around to "Out of the Blue" by Isabel Wolff or "The Pact" by Jennifer Sturman, you can return the favor if you'd like since I'm looking for those two. :)
Consider Out of the Blue yours!!!! (I really like The Pact and it's one of my keepers!)Thanks Jen!!!
Mod
I hope so! :)
Jen I sent you a message here on goodreads because I couldn't figure out how to find you on PBS!
Kourtney wrote: "Jen I sent you a message here on goodreads because I couldn't figure out how to find you on PBS!"No problem...I just looked for you on PBS and couldn't find you either! :(
Jen, I have The Pact and I never keep books so I can pass it on to you after I read it.
I'm also reading Moon Called (Book 1 of Mercedes Thompson series); Neil Gaiman's Sandman graphic novel series and random erotica (mostly research :p as I'm a writer).
Mod
Awesome Anna, is erotica your genre or do you write other stuff as well?
Anna wrote: "I'm also reading Moon Called (Book 1 of Mercedes Thompson series); Neil Gaiman's Sandman graphic novel series and random erotica (mostly research :p as I'm a writer)."Erotica is my genre...although I have written a ccuple essays for contests during college and won bits of cash here and there. I think one of them may actually be published somewhere.
I've been writing/telling stories since I was literally 4 and actually writing them since I was 14. I'm currently attempting to write a supernatural thriller; I spent about 2 months on the characters and they are all nice and hot and fleshy :P Like you definitely wouldn't mind one of them showing up in your bedroom :S
I'm actually a paralegal student and write part-time.

That's really cool that you've won $$ and been published. Good luck with that!!
A supernatural thriller sounds great. Even though I am a huge fan of chick lit, Dean Koontz is my absolute favorite writer. I've been reading him since I was 12, so I guess that makes 18 years. (Oh god, I feel so old now!!!) I'd be very interested in reading your book when you're finished!

You have to get Summer in the Land of Skin - soooo good. I'd offer mine but I am keeping it for re-reads, it's one of my favorites!
Mod
I just watched it again (for the millionth time) about a month ago and decided I wanted to read that book. So I jumped on my library's website only to find they didn't have it! But, I was able to request that they order it and, lo and behold, I had an email this morning saying it was waiting for me to pick it up. So I rushed over on my lunch and grabbed it! A co-worker thumbed through it and read a letter by Keats that made us both go, "Awwwww!!!"
Cannot wait to read more! I think I'm going to have to buy it!
I am reading The Friday Night Knitting Club.
Mod
How is that Jencey? I have it but haven't read it yet.

I finished this book last night - it's super short and I loved it!! I am going to have to buy it. And there's a Volume 2 that I need to read as well!
My absolute favorite was the one I mentioned before that was written by Keats. Victor Hugo had some really great ones too!
Stacy wrote: "Jencey wrote: "I am reading The Friday Night Knitting Club."How is that Jencey? I have it but haven't read it yet."
Just started reading it last night. I find it to be a little slow. I am hoping that I will find it more interesting as the book goes on.
I liked the Friday Night Knitting Club books better as they went on. I thought the Christmas one was cute.
I just started reading the A-List novels by Zoey Dean. So far it's a good read that is keeping me entertained. Very "Gossip Girl"-esque.

Hmm....if it's a slow starter, I don't know if I'll be able to get through it.
Mod
I was gonna try to read those but I have waaaay too many other books to get through. If you need anymore of them Kourtney, I've got the rest of what I have posted on PBS and BM.
Stacy I am about 160 pages in. It is an easy read. One thing I was reminded of in these comments is sometimes the first book sort of sets the scene. Then the comment that Alicia says makes sense or I am at least willing to try Knit Two or Knit For The Season.
Mod
I just finished the A-List series. There is a spin-off series too, it actually continues at the same high school with a new bunch of girls. I'm waiting for the first one from BM.
I just finished Jane Fallon's Getting Rid of Matthew - Soooo good!!!Now I'm going to start Last Night at Chateau Marmont by Lauren Weisberger
(These are both the audio versions) I've been reading Save Karyn: One Shopaholic's Journey to Debt and Back slooowly - hopefully I can finsihi sometime before summer's officially over:)

Ooh! Let me know how the Lauren Weisberger one is!
Stacy wrote: "I'm starting Holly's Inbox: Scandal in the City"I bought the first Holly's Inbox and it is in my TBR pile, did you like it? I loved the Meg Cabot series that was written through emails I just haven't started Holly's Inbox yet and then the other day in Barnes and Noble I saw a sequel already! let me know if you like them.

So far it is sooo good!
I just pulled out my copy of Holly's Inbox so I can re-read it before starting Holly's Inbox: Scandal in the City. For now I am still plowing my way through the A-List series (I am SO hooked!)I'm glad to hear Getting Rid of Matthew is good because I have that one on my shelves!! And Cathy, I for some reason LOVED Save Karyn - I found it made me want to get rid of my debt PRONTO (only I work 2 jobs to do it rather than tell the world GIVE ME MONEY!)

I loved the first book - it seems daunting because it's so thick, but it's really a quick read. I'm finding the same thing with the sequel (which I am loving as much as the first one). I just started it the day before yesterday and I'm already 250 pages in.
Here is a random recommendation:Monkey Love by Brenda Scott Royce
I found it on sale at Barnes and Noble and picked it up for something different. I just finished it and I have to say, it is was a good "fluffy" read. The cover has Janet Evanovich and some writer from Fraser extolling how funny the book was. I didn't find myself laughing out loud, but I did enjoy the book enough to want to read the sequel. Give it a try if you're in the mood for a beach read.
I was going through my Groups today since I finally have the time, and I realized that the UK Chick Lit club is gone..did I lose it or did someone delete it? I am SAD...that was where a lot of us bonded...MEMORIEEEEESSSSSS!!!!

I think Tara might have deleted it because no one ever said anything in there anymore. :(
Mod
If anyone is interested there is a fabulous debut from Cathleen Holst I read not that long ago called Everleigh in NYC and Cathleen has very generously allowed me to run a giveaway of one paperback copy on my blog:http://lipglossandliterature.blogspot...
Entries through next Thursday, March 10th!

I deleted it because nobody was talking in their anymore. It was sad to do.:( I deleted myself from a bunch of groups I don't go on anymore.

I almost have all the RDI books that I haven't read yet except the elusive Diary of a Blues Goddess. I've tried twice now to get that from BM and PBS and either the person never responds (BM), or it gets lost in the mail (PBS)!
