Lipstick Jungle : A Novel
Candace Bushnell, 2005
Lipstick Jungle
Pretty decent book, the show doesn't do this book justice. I was looking forward to seeing what might be made of Candace Bushnell's Lipstick Jungle because I enjoyed Sex n the City so much. Read the book, skip the show

Final Jeopardy (Alexandra Cooper Mysteries)
Linda Fairstein
Pocket, 1997
Thriller-Chiller
Bought this as a Christmas gift and have no clue if it's good or not. The author has 32 years experience in a NY CSI-SVU setting, and I assume this book is as rivitening as her latest book, Bad Blood.

The Other Boleyn Girl (Movie Tie-In)
Philippa Gregory
Touchstone, 2008
Characters were so alive, I thought I was a part of it all!
+ Great
+ Seductive
I have always been a big fan of English history so I immediately saw the movie based upon the book. Always wanting to find out more I bought the book myself and from the first page I was hypnotized. The characters are so vividly brought alive that I felt their fear, joy, love, and pain. I grieved ...

Very enjoyable and light reading

The Emperor's Children (Vintage)
Claire Messud
Vintage, 2007
Mixed feeling about this one...
As a thirty year old who lived in Manhattan during my twenties (and still lives nearby), I know so many people who fit the profiles of the characters in the novel, so for me, their lifestyles, self-importance, and overprivileged aimlessness was nothing out of the ordinary and quite relatable ...
