Catsitters, The
4 journalers for this copy...
in a world filled with dating books from the perspective of women, here's a wonderfully witty one with a male narrative.
Received today - thanks! It looks really good, I kept skimming through it and finally had to make myself put it in my bag so I could get back to work!
I loved this book, which I finally got around to reading after promising it to somene else. (I have way too many books in my TBR pile!) It's like chick lit, but not fluffy, and from a guy's point of view. Wonderfully written and amusing. I'm gonna have to google the author and see what he's done since this.
Thanks for this gwendy, I probably never would have discovered this book if not for you! It will be heading of to Chania in Finland next week!

It took longer than I expected to start this book, but I finally did and enjoyed it too!
It was quick and easy to read, quite entertaining and sort of "feel good" -book. I will send it to Winner of the month in Finnish forum now.
And I also join the PRKL-challenge with this book.

Thanks for the book, Chania! Goes to my TBR pile.
Bartender by day, actor by night, Johnny Downs cheerfully floats through life, living alone with his jukebox and his cat. Blindsided when his dazzling girlfriend dumps him, Johnny is wounded, stunned, and, most of all, clueless.
"You're like most men - oblivious," says his friend Darlene. Her diagnosis: Johnny is doomed to be rejected by every woman he desires as long as he clings to his outmoded bachelor ways. Darlene puts him on a rigorous crash course to fashion himself into "husband material." But does Darlene really have his best interests at heart? And who are all these catsitters that keep coming into his life?
I don't usually read chick lit books, but I decided to give this one a go anyway. It took me over a week to read The Catsitters, because the story didn't interest me very much. It was a good thing I had this book as my bedtime reading - at least I didn't stay up all night because I couldn't put the book down. ;-) The main character Johnny was likeable enough, but I was more interested in the parts about his acting career than the main plot about his girlfriend problems.
