Part of a haul of books I picked up from a local charity shop to register on BookCrossing and wild release. I chose this one because it is either one I am interested in reading or one that will work well for a BookCrossing Release Challenge or because I know it's a book that someone in general would probably like to find and read.

Parts of this book I found entirely amusing. Other parts I found entirely alien. Characters occasionally rang true, but more often clanged in a cardboardy kind of way for me. I found myself not particularly caring what happened to anyone, except the two little boys. The grownups were all entirely too self centered. (And while the bit about the nits was funny, what the hell did she do with him in that interview to have the lice transfer themselves across the table from her head to his?) It was a brief foray into a sort of brainless book that I needed to keep me occupied while taking my mom to radiation therapy. The kind I could pick up and put down with no qualms, and that I wouldn't miss between reading sessions. No particularly endearing characters. I was surprised to read that there were movie options on it, but then, I'm also surprised by many of the movies that come out these days.

Will release soon.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

Asked Rebekkila to release this for me at our monthly meetup on May 17th. I imagine some deal will be struck by harper415sc and brownwhitetan and geecheegirl as to who gets to read it first. :)

The very busy Bookczuk sent this with me to take to the meet-up this coming weekend. It will be our second meet-up without her, I am glad that I still get to see Bumma and the Czuks in the interim.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

I am releasing this at the meet-up.

This was one of the books Rebekkila brought for bookczuk. Brownwhitetan was being cautious with her picks today and I don't think geecheegirl noticed this book in the big stack at Muddy Waters. I have been enjoying the chicklit I have been reading by English Authors so I can't wait to start this one.

This book was just so-so. I figured I would finish it since it was only 215 pages. I agree with bookczuk that the characters were pretty flat and I ended up not really caring what happened to them. With all the chick lit out there, there are lots of much better books to read.

I will most likely take this to the BC monthly meetup to see if anyone else wants it.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

Taking to the BC Monthly Meetup. If no one wants it, I will release it someplace else.

Caught at the meet-up.

I am listening to this on audio, I will release the book through bookcrossing for Bookczuk's food and wine challenge.

It was pretty good it had some funny moments and I love British humor.

Left at the Food + Wine festival for a challenge.
