Bonnie - thanks for getting this thread going!

Sophie Kinsella has been a welcome addition to the chick book choices. They are a fun, light read. Imagine the very pleasant surprise when we found ourselves at lunch with Sophie and her dad prior to the matches at Wimbledon a few years back! It turns out Gary had played tennis with Sophie's dad. Gary and her dad were reminiscing about tennis matches and putting a friendly bet on the day's matches. I got to chat with Sophie. Nancy, it must have been great to get an advance edition of one of Sophie's books whilst in the UK.

I also really enjoy the #1 Ladies Detective Agency series. I found those books rang true when we were visiting Botswana and talking with the locals. Having been there, re=reading the books were even better the second time.

Our book group is moving on to "The Wife" by Meg Wolitzer. It's short and got good reviews. Hopefully it will be in my mailbox when I get back home.

cheers, Anne
