I have this book called "The Beach Book" and its actually waterproof and full of short stories. Its not really "girly" but its kinda nice to have if you KNOW you'll be getting wet but still want to read.

I answered this in the library forum too, but what about "bridget jones' diary?" You've probably read it, but if not, it's a great light, funny read.

"The other boleyn girl" by Phillippa Gregory (?sp) is pretty good.

As mentioned above Emily Giffin has a great 2 book series that is light and perfect for a vacation: 1. Something Borrowed 2. Something Blue They are both available in paperback and I have found a ton of them at my local library in the used book section

Date: 6/18/2008 2:45:26 PM Yep, it is a VERY long 672 pages!!! I read up on king henry VII after reading the book and discovered Gregory improvised on many historical parts and some of it was made up! Seemed strange as the non-fiction book I read was one of Gregory's sources. Maybe she didn't read it too closely.

I really enjoyed The Last Time I was Me by Cathy Lamb. It's fluffy but a great and funny story!

Blissful, I just stocked up on a ton of new books for the summer. I also love Emily Griffin, get Something Borrowed and Something Blue, read them together. Then get Babyproof. Also anything by Jennifer Weiner is great too and there should be paperbacks of all but the newest. **************************** |

It's a few years old, but if you haven't already read it, the original "Confessions of a Shopaholic" by Sophie Kinsella is one of those joyously excellent chick-lit books that'll put either a smile or a smirk across your face the entire time you read it!

I think you would love her!

I have a couple of her books. I cannot wait to read them. The new Emily Griffin is good. Just finished it about a week or so ago. I love to read so I am always on the hunt for new authors.

Vintage Jackie Collins are always good, such as... Lucky Chances Hollywood Wives Hollywood Husbands Lady Boss Lovers and Gamblers  Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn |

I don't mind too much about Gregory improvising on some of the parts though. It's not like the other books mentioned here are not improvised/made up as well. Plus, I would imagine that she would have to have made up some of the book, since it did occur so long ago, it's not like anyone was alive back then to let us know what really happened! I enjoyed it and we had a time when five of us at work where lugging around the same book at the same time. The movie was not that great though and while I did start watching it, I wound up not finishing it. "Buy what you like to please yourself, not to impress anyone else." |

I love to read so I am always on the hunt for new authors. Let me know what you think. I love her "Size 12 is not fat" series. There are 3 books so far in that one. She has one book where there is no speaking. It is told with e-mails/texts/letters. I really liked it. I forgot the title though. I could find out for you. Also Jane Green is one of my favorites. "Jemima J" is so good!

Bergdorf Blondes by Plum Sykes. It is a pretty entertaining, easy to read book. It's about the silly concerns of a pair of socialites who decide that a fiance is the latest fashion accessory. It's good for something lighthearted and funny.

"Love the One You're With" is the new one by Emily Giffin - and agree with others on here that hers are a great beach/vacation read. I am glad the Harry Winston one was mentioned here, I was going to pick that one up.... will have to get around to doing that maybe this week! Thanks.
