A Great Read for Book Clubs

Ladies, I just have to recommend a book I just read. A few years ago, a former GAB member recommended reading Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons, so I put it on my reading list. That's exactly where it stayed until a friend recommended it to me during my recent visit to Minnesota (I was complaining that since I was done with Harry, I had nothing to read in the car on the way back to Idaho). I'm telling you, this is one awesome book! It should be required reading for book clubs. It made me appreciate GAB so much more! I will say, though, that this is 100% chick lit. But, I thought the writing was good, and the ending didn't tie everything in a nice, cheesy bow. You know how I get about endings (especially when a book has more than one- ha ha!)

I'm currently reading another book I picked up in Minnesota, One Big Damn Puzzler by John Harding. I picked it, because the cover is really cool. I know, I know- we've been down THAT road before :o) But, this one has an interesting story and so far the writing is really good. I don't want to give too much away, because it just may become on of my picks the next time I host :o)

I hope you all share what non-GAB books you've been reading.

Entertainment Weekly magazine. I know.....it's not a book but it does have book reviews in it and some of them sound really good.

I just picked up a copy of The Lovely Bones. I've only read a few pages but am already intrigued. Peter Jackson is in the process of filming the movie adaptation.
