This and a glass of whatever is perfect for a long soak in a hot tub. My Favorite is Cat Lady (or better yet Cat Woman)

RELEASE NOTES:

Received today...thank you so much. I'm looking forward to reading this as it contains stories from some of my favourite authors.

Well hendertuckian you hit the nail on the head with this one - it was perfect for a soak in the tub....& with it being short stories it was easy to put down & pick up again a couple of days later without losing the thread.

I'd read Marian Keyes' "The truth is out there" in "Further under the duvet" & Sophie Kinsella's "Changing People" seemed very familiar but all the other tales were new to me.

I too, particulary enjoyed "Cat Lady" by Alisa Valdes- Rodriguez (an author new to me). Also "Party Planner" by Meg Cabot & "Know it all" by Sarah Mlynowski.

I even read the adverts at the back of the book & found a few books to add to my wishlist!

With the help of Cliffs wishlist & RABCK.com I've found someone who just might enjoy this book....

The book arrived today. Thank you! It was a great surprise :-)
The book seems perfect to read between others, because of the short stories. So I think I'll begin reading it today.

I read the first story yesterday and decided to start my JE about the book now, because otherwise I'll probably have forgotten what I thought about the first stories when reaching the end of the book ;-)

Party Planner - Meg Cabot: I liked the email-style of the story. I remember reading one novel that was written in this style and I liked it back then as well. I don't want to say too much about the storyline, only so much: I like the ending.
Traveling Light - Carole Matthews: Was okay.
Cat Lady - Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez: Was okay. I liked it slightly better than the previous story.
Changing People - Sophie Kinsella: Sophie Kinsella is one of my favourite authors, so I was looking forward to this story. I liked it very much, it's funny. So far for me it is the best story in this book.
New York - Jill A. Davis: I didn't like this one at all.
Revenge - Emily Barr: Not my taste. But probably quite good if you like serious short stories.
Here Comes Harry - Jessica Adams: I didn't like this one.
From this moment - Megan McCafferty: This one is nice, I like it.

I guess I've had wrong expectations about the book. I thought it would be more like chick-lit, but actually it's more serious...

I'll edit this JE (hopefully) every time I have something to say...

I haven't read any more stories for 1 year or so. That's why I finally decided to abandon the book now. I hope I can find a reader who will appreciate it more than me...

This book will either go to Tiamat-muc as a RABCK or become a ray, if more people are interested. In case of a Ray, Tiamat-muc will be the last participant.

It was neither fish nor flesh (if you allow me this little peace of English for runaways ;)) - a few stories were nice, but Kinsella's was the only one really warming my heart. The rest ... is silence
