Not exactly an orgy of reading this weekend

But, a good fling at any rate. And I still respect myself.

#69 is Just Friends by Robyn Sisman(May/07). A chick lit of the "best friends who haven't realized that they're IT for each other" variety set in New York. The female lead is a cool Brit named Freya and the male lead is a Southern novelist named Jack. Even though I occasionally found the two of them trying in their stubbornness, I liked the book.

#70 is Miss American Pie: A Diary of Love, Secrets, and and Growing Up in the 1970s by Margaret Sartor(May/07). I originally heard of this one because the author is a mother from my children's school. It takes a lot of courage to share a private history without editorializing. I don't remember my adolescence as being so bipolar, but perhaps time has evened out the highs and lows in my recollections. Kept me interested enough that I read it all in one sitting after church this afternoon.

#71 is Disturbing the Peace by Nancy Newman(May/07). A chick lit, but one that deals with heavier subject material than most. A teacher of ESL in New York wrestles with her attraction to a successful immigrant as well as her need to find out about her birth mother. Another that I read straight through this evening.
