That's what I love about chick lit.<BR/><BR/>Les,<BR/><BR/>Thank you!<BR/><BR/>I just got a copy of The Help, this week (from Paperback Swap -- good as new!). I'm really anxious to read it because I've heard so many good things, although it will have to stand in line for a while! :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-22491749566863674482009-04-04T11:11:00.000-05:002009-04-04T11:11:00.000-05:00Gorgeous photo!

Darn! Have you ever read anything by Chris Manby? I thought her chick lit was quite fun.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'm putting this book on my radar because a good fun book is sometimes just what I need :)Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-73343372311024115302009-04-03T14:09:00.000-05:002009-04-03T14:09:00.000-05:00Amy,You're welcome!!

Yes...Amy,<BR/><BR/>You know, eBay never even occurred to me. Yes, I think this one was new in the UK in 2008. She hasn't lost her touch. I just love Jill Mansell's books!! I'm glad you share that obsession with me. :)<BR/><BR/>Marg,<BR/><BR/>I jumped at the chance, too! Fortunately, this first one was a title I haven't read. The next release, Miranda's Big Mistake, is an old favorite of mine. I'm going to dig around to see if I can find my copy. Her books are pretty consistently wonderful. I don't think you can miss by just ordering anything and everything.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-62396136701253928622009-04-03T04:45:00.000-05:002009-04-03T04:45:00.000-05:00I had read Jill Mansell a number of years ago and ...I had read Jill Mansell a number of years ago and liked her books, so when I was offered this I jumped at the opportunity, and I ended up loving it.

Her heroines are always upbeat and fun-loving. There's some sex, but nothing nasty and no bad language. They're just really sweet, happy romantic stories. <BR/><BR/>You've never been to Mynelle Gardens? That was my first time, but wait . . . you live nearby!!!! That's just not right; you should definitely go. It's beautiful and tranquil -- except for the pond, which is kind of brown and revolting, but everything else is great. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-76700503825577508742009-04-02T19:51:00.000-05:002009-04-02T19:51:00.000-05:00Wow!
