On way to jeweleee by 2nd Class Post.

Woo! The postman has just brought this for me, along with another 2 books. Oops! I've got a few books on the go now, but luckily we're going away camping this coming weekend and that's usually a good opportunity for me to laze about and read lots, which I intend on doing, so that will make my TBR pile a bit smaller! Will journal again once I start to read this. Thank you!

I started to read this book last night. I've got a few books on the go so it might take me 1-2 weeks to finish it, but the first chapter is a good start. :)

Release planned for Tuesday, July 06, 2004 at by mail in to another bookcrosser, By Post Controlled Releases.

On the way to tabyorky

I really enjoyed this book, it was light-hearted, and although I found the ending a bit predictable, it was a good read and I'd recommend it to other Chic Flit lovers. :)

Thanks to laura0141 for arranging this ring. Will be on the way to tabyorky either tomorrow or Tuesday.

Thanks for the book Jeweleee. Will put in my tbr pile and pass on to the next person as soon as possible.

Started reading this book.

I enjoyed this book as it was a typical chit lit book which I love.

Posted book to flakes.

I've never read any of Wendy Holden's books, so I'm excited about reading this one. I'll start this one right away!

Overall this was a so-so book. Some of the characters (Zak, Cassandra, and Jet) came across as very cartoonish and unlikeable. It was fairly entertaining, though the ending was a bit predictable and too quickly wrapped up.

That being said, I'd still like to try some of Holden's other books! Thanks laura0141 for giving me a chance to read this one!

I've PM'd spaceystacey, and I'll send the book on it's way as soon as I get her address.

Sending this one off to spaceystacey today...enjoy! :)

Received in the mail on Saturday I believe. Read at the pool this weekend. Interesting fast read.

Mailing off to Texas tomorrow if I have the address.

I just received this in the mail and will begin reading as soon as possible!

I apologize that it took me so long to read this novel. I've had a busy month! I have to say this wasn't as great as the other novel I've read by Wendy Holden, Simply Divine. I did enjoy the novel quite a bit however. It reminded me of a lighter version of The Nanny Diaries. As soon as Jett was mentioned, I got a mental image of a British version of Tommy Lee from Motley Crue! All in all, a good, fun read! Thanks for sharing!

Mailed to oceanss!

Got it today as a bookray.
I'll start it next week.

Finally I got a chance to run through it. It was not really exciting.
Anna is trying to learn writing while she tries a job as a nanny in a house that the lady is supposed to be a well-known writer. She can't bear the tough situation there with their annoying Zak; therefore, she leaves there to live with Jamie who's just fond of her so that he can receive his heirloom as a married man. She deserts him for Robbie & then happily ever after

Released on Wednesday, November 24, 2004 at about 12:30:00 AM BX time (GMT-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada) at Mailed to a fellow Bookcrosser in Tehran, tehran Iran.
