Nanny Returns

Ah what the heck, how about a TWO-FER? As someone who just received an eReader for Christmas, I absolutely MUST try an eBook on it - thus another bookclub selection to accompany our previous release. This new selection is called Nanny Returns by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus, two fabulous lady authors who are also well known for previous works such as The Nanny Diaries and Citizen Girl - novels with all kinds of crazy-good praise. Here's just a sampling of the reviews circulating about Nanny Returns:

"McLaughlin and Kraus leave no dry eyes as they once again wield a razor-sharp wit that cuts down the most uppity mortals even as it lifts up their vulnerable children. You could safely bet your first born that this'll be another smash hit."
- Publishers Weekly

"Once again, the wealthy New York crowd serves as an addictive backdrop, and the story's contrast between shallowness and compassion is fascinating. Nanny Diaries fans will snap up this sequel." - Library Journal

Queen Takes King

Without further ado, let's get started reading our next bookclub selection called Queen Takes King by Gigi Levangie Grazer. Our new author is well known for her previous bestsellers such as The Starter Wife and Maneater - books that have received much praise worldwide. Let's read more about what people are saying about Queen Takes King:

"It's War of the Roses fought by The Real Housewives of New York in this hilarious if overlong morality tale of young love, old fools and happy endings." - Publishers Weekly

"Grazer, author of the novel-turned-TV series The Starter Wife (2005), limns two modern American archetypes, the real-estate mogul and his bored socialite wife, doing battle on the moneyed playing field of Manhattan... A sly, observant report from a rarefied world that's sure to be another big hit. " - Kirkus Reviews

With the holidays upon us, join in as we take in this possible big hit of a novel!

Little Pink Slips

Welcome to our posh new Chicken Lit Bookclub digs! Are you ready for our very first book selection on the redesigned site? The book we've chosen is called Little Pink Slips written by Sally Koslow, a new author to our bookclub. So how about if we see what other readers are saying about her book:

"Reading Little Pink Slips in two days is like eating a giant-size bag of chips in one sitting... salty, tasty... you can't stop shoving them in your mouth.... Fun, full of juicy details." - Carin Rubinstein, Ph.D., author of Beyond the Mommy Years

"…the anti-Devil Wears Prada…all the same inside juice, but this time, you root for the editor! Koslow has created a superhero of a character in editor-in-chief Magnolia Gold….a smart but fashion-challenged…girl from Fargo, North Dakota. Magazines need more Magnolias!" - Cosmo GIRL

Sounds like we could be in for an exhilerating ride here, readers. So get your copy and stop on in whenever you feel like sharing; because as always, we want to know what you think about our selection.

BTW: Did you know the author's background in writing this book came from her editorial experience with McCall’s magazine and run-in with Rosie O'Donnell? Read more here!
