English as a Second Language 48 reviews Megan Crane
Grand Central Publishing, 2004
Wasn't in it for the love story...
+ fast and fun read
I loved this book precisely because it wasn't about finding love. It was the story of Alex Brennan finding out who she was and what she wanted to do with her life. I loved Alex because her personality resonated with me...and because at 26 she's turned her life upside down and hauled her ass ...

Swapping Lives 81 reviews Jane Green
Plume, 2007
Definitely Fun!
I usually give chick lits a three-star for various reasons; they're easy to read and it doesn't take much mental energy to read them; they're predictable; they're usually the same, where woman meets boy, falls in lust and gets her heart broken or captures her prince; it's always about single women. ...

This is the first of Mary Kennedy's books that I've read. I really enjoyed it. It has all the great things that a teen book should have. Movie stars, a dream come true, back stabbers, and a mystery to be solved. Do pick up a copy for yourself.
I'm looking forward to reading the sequel and other ...

If there is anyone out there who has never read Bill Bryson I urge you to start. His books will warm your heart and make you laugh out loud....you can't stay blue or depressed when you're engrossed in one of his works. In spite of his penchant for being an Anglophile (no doubt because he's married ...

Corliss's uncle landed her an internship on TV's hottest upcoming show.
Unfortunately, she didn't realize that she'd be spending her days breaking up the on-set couple, trying to help a washed-up star, and smoothing out issues on set -- all while keeping the producer's ego intact.
It wasn't ...

+ an enjoyable read + up front and personal look at the Oscar gala
I was surprised at how quickly I was caught up in this book. Usually it takes many pages before I get really involved in a book's characters and plot, but that happened right away with Oscar Season. The plot moves along quickly and I had a lot of fun trying to figure out who did what and why - ...
