June 30, 2015. Recipe for Disaster by Stacey Ballis. There really is nothing like a good Stacey Ballis book. It was a nice change of pace that the main character isn't a food professional, but there's definitely some good recipes happening anyway. The romance was a little unexpected and I don't know that it's quite earned at the end (massive time jumps do that to me), but this time I'm happy with the nice little bow on everything. It's been a long month and this was just what I needed. Books Read in 2016.

January 06, 2013. Books Read in 2012. I didn't get anywhere close to my 50-in-365 goal and I didn't even beat last year's number. But I read some interesting books, caught up on my favorite authors and even learned a little bit. Here's to a better-read 2013! 01 Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? By Mindy Kaling (219). By David McCullough (386). By Tina Fey (277). 04 The Queen Mother: The Official Biography. By William Shawcross (943). By Eleanor Herman (295). 06 More Like Her. By Liza Palmer (309).

April 13, 2015. Girl Before a Mirror by Liza Palmer. My love for Liza Palmer is clearly documented. On this blog, but I think this is my favorite book since Seeing Me Naked. At first I wasn't on board with the concept - an ad exec trying to get an account ends up at "RomanceCon," a convention for romance novel enthusiasts - dismissing the genre much like our protagonist, Anna Wyatt. But on page 30, Liza Palmer writes a paragraph that just hit me straight in the chest and made me tear up a bit:. The momen...

May 16, 2015. What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding by Kristin Newman. Turns out, when I don't spend so much of my life on planes, I don't read as much - oops! One of my co-workers lent me this book back in February before my first jaunt across the country, but I didn't get it read until now - double oops! I did enjoy her advice to "do the thing you're supposed to do in the place you're supposed to do it." You really can't do wrong with that. Posted by Jenn at 7:27 PM. Books Read in 2016.

June 08, 2015. Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns by Lauren Weisberger. I don't know how I missed that Lauren Weisberger wrote a sequel to the book, but I finally picked it up a couple weeks ago. The first thing I noticed was how different the book must be from the movie in ways I didn't remember (like the boyfriend's name or the Christian guy's last name) because it was VERY hard to jump back in. Favorite author: lauren weisberger. Posted by Jenn at 9:04 PM. Books Read in 2016. 01 A Royal Flush.

March 22, 2015. Shadows Over Paradise by Isabel Wolff. I'm not sure what I was expecting from this book, but I was shocked. This one does not follow the pattern of Isabel Wolff novels, of slightly sophisticated British chick lit. There is a female protagonist and she is going through relationship problems, but they are very much on the back burner for most of this novel. All in all, it's a wonderfully written book, but it is not the light fare I had come to expect from this author. Books Read in 2016.
