The Ex-Boyfriend Cookbook: They Came, They Cooked, They Left (But We Ended Up with Some Great Recipes) 20 reviews Thisbe Nissen, Erin Ergenbright
Collins Living, 2002

Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood: A Novel 1168 reviews Rebecca Wells

I must admit that I saw the movie before reading the book and the two are much much different! Nonetheless, I love them both. I read through it in the course of just a couple of days and absolutely loved it. I couldn't put it down! I would certainly reccommend it to anyone.

Bridget Jones's Diary 495 reviews Renée Zellweger, Gemma Jones
Miramax, 2002
Excellent
+ A romantic comedy with actual comedy!
Love Bridget Jones - I have purchased 2 DVDs (just in case one is "damaged" from overuse.
My only disappointment is that I would have liked the full screen version and when I went to order it you no longer had it in stock.
Perhaps you'll restock?
