I finished a book over this weekend - Bitter Is The New Black, written by Jen Lancaster, has opened me up to a new author. Thankfully, she has also written a number of other Chick Lit Novels, including Bright Lights, Big Ass, Such A Pretty Fat, Pretty In Plaid, and My Fair Lazy. Granted, I have not read any of those other novels, but I find Lancaster's writing style original and motivating. One night I read 125 pages and accidentally stayed up until 3:30 a.m. simply because I could not put it down! I am always excited to find a new author that has multiple books under her belt since it gives me a new reading list for a month or two!

Although I am excited about my newly discovered Lancaster, another author I am a fan of has written a new book:
Amazon alerted me to the hardcover (yes, I was so excited that Giffin wrote another book I immediately ordered it in hardcover!), and I just could not help myself. To be honest, I had no clue what it was about while authorizing my credit card information, and I did not care.
Upon receipt, I read the back of the book and discovered the plot: It is about a couple women in a Boston suburb working to find balance with their families. A tragic accident occurs that brings these women together and completely transforms their lives and beliefs forever.
More information on Emily Giffin can be found on her website.
As a selfish plug, I am going to remind everyone familiar with Giffin that she has also written Love The One Your With, Baby Proof, Something Blue, and Something Borrowed. All of there are wonderful novels, and worth adding to any reading list.
Due to her talents, Emily Giffin has undergone a MOVIE DEAL!!! Hilary Swank and Molly Smith will team up in Something Borrowed and Something Blue - SOBO is coming, and I cannot wait! I really hope the movie does not disappoint me like Where The Heart Is did upon its release. Congrats to Giffin!
