The Nanny Diaries 1 review, 2005
MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING...
I had originally thought that this was going to be a work of non-fiction in a nanny tell all. It turned out, instead, to be a mildly funny look at the rich and obnoxious and their young children through the eyes of a spineless nanny. While some of this book is amusing, it is not particularly well ...

Jill Conner Browne
Running Press Miniature Editions, 2003
If you haven't read the Sweet Potato Queens you are missing out.
+ Laughs galore!
Fun take on life from a woman's perspective, great recipes and the straight skinny on how to get men to behave. If you haven't read the Sweet Potato Queens you are missing out on a good time and some great advice on men and life in general.

Great Read
+ A must have.
+ Uneven
I just loved this book! I thought that the writing was brilliant. Towards the end though it did get repetitive about just how bad her boss was. I wanted to say, "Okay, I get it already!" It was a bit much. But all in all, I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it.

The Jennifer Weiner Collection: "Good in Bed", "In Her Shoes"
Jennifer Weiner
Pocket Books, 2005
GOOD IN BED Cannie Shapiro never wanted to be famous. The smart, sharp, plus-sized reporter was perfectly happy writing about other people's lives for her local newspaper. She loves her job, her friends, her dog and her life. She has made a tenuous peace with her body and she even felt okay about ending her relationship with Bruce. But now this...'Loving a larger woman is an act of courage in our ...

Simon & Schuster, 2008
Good Book!
I'm not sure I agree with many of the other 1,2, & 3 star reviews, but it might have something to do with this being my first novel read written by Lauren Weisberger. No, I only saw the movie, "The Devil Wears Prada" - never read the book. So, I had nothing to compare "Chasing Harry Winston" to ...

The Guy Not Taken: Stories59 reviews

Classic Jennifer Weiner in The Guy Not Taken
+ EXCELLENT Seller!
I greatly enjoyed this collection of short stories. Most of the tales revolve around the author's recurring themes of abandonment and self worth and allow the reader glimmers into ideas that obviously developed into her full length novels, and perhaps ones as yet unwritten.

excellent
+ cool stuff
+ Reviewed by Diane Kasperski
This third collection of Ya-Ya stories was as beautiful, poignant, funny and sad as the first two. I had to keep a pencil by my side in order to underline the especially beautiful turns of phrase and, believe me, there were many.

LOVED IT.

I am surprised to see that many Good In Bed readers didn't LOVE this book. Is it because of the end? I guess I am not a happily ever after person. To me, Good in Bed is all about Mothers and Daughters and the JOY (no pun intended) that comes from that bond....even though it's a small part of the ...

+ Great Read! Jen Weiner Did it again!
From the moment I read the first few paragraphs of this book, I fell in love. Jennifer Weiner effortlessly seams character plots throughout this book, which follows two sisters who have nothing in common but the size of their feet and their love for designer shoes.
Rose is the ugly-duckling who ...
