[Lisa]

I just started reading Singleholic, by Katherine Bing. Very funny, so far.

[Krem]

I'm reading "Marked: The house of Night" by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast. It is interesting so far.

[Kristen]

I am currently reading A Hopeless Romantic by Harriet Evans. So far its just ok, nothing too special.

[Sarah]

I just finished 'The Rock Orchard' by Paula Wall; it was really good and a fast read. The chapters are extremely short, like 2-3 pages. I am about to start 'Wickett's Remedy' by Myla Goldberg. I bought both books a couple weeks ago at B&N for $2 each!! I've also started "Dear John" by Nicholas Sparks.

[Susan (NY)]

I just picked up The Ten Best Days of My Life by Adena Halpern so I will be reading it soon.

Decided to read before watching the movie.
I am really in the beggining, so I can't say it is good or not!

[Beth]

I am reading Jane Green -- Second Chance.

[Susan (NY)]

Just finished The Ten Best Days of My Life. It was a good book, I really enjoyed it.

Juliana,tell us how Julie and Julia is, I've been wanting to read it.

[Katie]

I'm reading One Day by David Nicholls. I just started it this morning and already have a feeling it is going to be very weepy!

[Jenn]

I'm reading Wife in the Fast Lane by Karen Quinn. It's ok. No where near as good as Holly Would Dream.

[Jenger]

[Susan (NY)]

I'm reading One Thousand White Women: The Journals of May Dodd by Jim Fergus, very good so far.

[Connie]

Susan, I was surprised at how much I liked 1000 white women. Let us know what you think.

I'm about half way into the book and really enjoying it.

[Melissa]

I just finished "The Starter Wife". I wouldn't recommend it, wasn't as good as I thought it would be.

Now I am starting to read "Along for the ride" by Sarah Dessen

[Krystyn]

I'm reading "The Help" only 100 pages in so far, but I like it.

I want to read "The Weight of Silence" afterwards... Becki, please let me know how you like it.

[Beth]

I am reading Jodi Picoult's new book, House Rules.

Ashley, are you reading or listening to A is for Alibi? I tried to listen tot he audio for the last challenge and just could not get into it!

[Ashley]

I am reading it on my Kindle. It's good so far, but I'm only a short way into. I think it's going to remind me of the Stephanie Plum series, since I listen to that series, I hear that voice in my head when I read it.

[Andrew]

I am currently reading a book that was recommended to me by two lovely young ladies who call themselves Book Soulmates. If you need some ideas as to what to read next, I would highly recommend their website www.booksoulmates.com. I go there first when I need some ideas for a book to read. They are very friendly and they are open to new suggestions. Plus they have some cool giveaways and some great vlogs. Happy reading everyone!!

[Susan]

Thanks Andrew-I'm on my way to check it out!! I love reading book blogs!!

Have you read The Ivy Chronicles? I loved that book and ran out and bought all of her others. I tried to get into Wife in the Fast Lane and just couldn't!

Would you recommend Holly Would Dream? I almost bought it the other day cause it was at some discount store in my town for $2.99 but I keep going back there to buy all kinds of other books and didn't want to get it just to get it...you know?

[Heather]

I just saw that there was a movie on Lifetime called Suzanne's Diary to Nicholas, but I didn't catch it. I have this book at home too

I LOVED LOVED LOVED Diary of a Mad Mom To Be...that and the first one Diary of a Mad Bride! Those two books always make me laugh out loud no matter how many times I read them!

Awesome! Good to know..it's on one of my challenge lists..

[Heather]

Just joined this group..
I'm currently in the middle of "Twenties Girl" by Sophie Kinsella and loving it as much as all her other books that I have read.

[Becki]

I just finished The Middle Place. Not necessarily chick lit, but definitely for a woman who has a father, or a woman who is a mother. Good, quick read.

[Kim]

[Chick Lit Shorties]

Currently reading American Girls About Town, it's a collection of short stories by some amazing authors including Jennifer Weiner, Sarah Mlynowski (her story in the collection is great!), Cindy Chupack, Jill Smolinsky, Melissa Senate, and many more (17 total, I think)

And of course reading the fun one paragraph contest entries and short stories on http://www.ChickLitShorties.com :)

Very cool! I have this on my summer reading list for a challenge for another Goodreads group...how are you liking it in all?

[Dana]

I'm currently reading The Gatecrasher - I've loved all of Madeleine Wickham's books - but i'm having a little trouble getting into this one - i'm trying to stick with it and see if it picks up!

[Chick Lit Shorties]

@Cathy: Some of course stand out better than others, but overall it's great so far! You can carry it around on your day of errands and it's perfect for when you have only 10 mins or so; you really do get that nice feeling of fulfillment in having read a story from beginning to end :) It's also a neat way to get introduced to some new writers and their styles without committing to a full book. Think of it as Chick Lit tapas! Have you read the short story collection "This Is Chick Lit"?

@Dana: Have you been a fan of Madeleine Wickham for a while? Although the name Sophie Kinsella has been everywhere for so long, seems that only lately the resurrection of her Madeleine books has picked up.

[Dana]

I've been a fan for a while now - first starting with all the Sophie Kinsella books - but then when I found out that she was one in the same - I started reading the Madeleine books and LOVED them. I love Twenties Girl - went through that in about two days! And The Weddig Girl was a great read...

[Jenn]

I'm reading Dress Rehearsal by Jane O'Connell for my book club. It's a cute story and a pretty fast read.

I felt the same way Dana. I am a HUGE Sophie fan, so when the publishers started advertising that Madeline and Sophie were one in the same, I ran out and bought every Madeline book I could find. I started with the Gatecrasher, and found it to be VERY disappointing - even when reading with an open mind that the writing style would not be similar to Sophie. It took me a long time to go back to them, but I read Sleeping Arrangements and now I can't wait to read The Wedding Girl and her new one!

I've read both American Girls About Town and This is Chick Lit. I always feel so...needy(?) after I finish a short story. I am always left wanting to know more, and I find myself screaming out THAT'S IT?!?! But I have found new authors to read through the shorty stories, so mission accomplished!

Ughh! I plowed through the gatecrasher - I too was extremely dissapointed! I've LOVED all her other books. It kind of put me off, but I still have a few, sleeping arrangements, to check out. The Wedding Girl was SO great! I loved it.

[Casi]

I started reading Last Night at Chateau Marmont but put it down to REREAD MY FAVORITE Love Unscripted I cannot get enough of this book! The characters are so real and well-written and I feel like I'm there with them when I read it! Fantastic novel!
