Out side of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside a dog, it's too dark to read.

Over on my LJ I'm keeping track of all the books I read in 2007. I thought that I would do that here. I'd like to point out that 1. I'm slacking, I usually read so much more and 2. That I don't often read anything other than fiction.

.5 (because I started it in 2006) The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger. Andrea Sach's gets a job at a top fashion magazine. It's the story of her year at the magazine and what working there does to her life and relationships.

1. *Feeling Sorry for Celia by Jaclyn Moriarty. Elizabeth is a typical teenager, in Australia, who is forced to write to a student at another school, while worrying about her best friend Celia who likes to run away. The book is told in letter form.

2. The Other Woman by Jane Green. Ellie has found the perfect man and discovers that his mother is trying to pretty much live her life. At first it seemed like typical mil behaviour, she planned her wedding, wanted to be there all the time, wanted to take the grandchild all the time.

3. Pastries by Bharti Kirchner. Sunya owns a bakery in a little neighborhood. She's starting to feel that her baking is...off. She's trying to get over her boyfriend, who left her for her friend. There are someother things happening in her life to add to this: a big chain bakery wants to open, her pastry chef quits, and there's a strange man loitering out side her house and shop.

4. The Ivy Chronicals by Karen Quinn Ivy Ames loose her job and her husband all in one day. She has to give up her life style of luxury, and moves to a lower part of NYC. This is the story of how she makes a career for her self helping some of the richest families in the city get their children in to the top tier kindergarten programs.
