EllyMae's reveal is:

Queen of Babble in the Big City by Meg Cabot

user posted image

Lizzie Nichols is back, pounding the New York City pavement and looking for a job, a place to live, and her proper place in the universe (not necessarily in that order).

When "Summer Fling" Luke uses the L word (Living Together), Lizzie is only too happy to give up her plan of being postgrad roomies with best friend, Shari, in a one-room walk-up in exchange for cohabitation with the love of her life in his mother's Fifth Avenue pied-à-terre, complete with doorman and resident Renoir.

But Lizzie's not as lucky in her employment search. As Shari finds the perfect job, Lizzie struggles through one humiliating interview after another, being judged overqualified for the jobs in her chosen field - vintage gown rehab - and underqualified for everything else. It's Shari's boyfriend Chaz to the rescue when he recommends Lizzie for a receptionist's position at his father's posh law firm. The nonpaying gig at a local wedding-gown shop Lizzie manages to land all on her own.

But Lizzie's notoriously big mouth begins to get her into trouble at work and at home almost at once - first at the law firm, where she becomes too chummy with Jill Higgins, a New York society bride with a troublesome future mother-in-law, and then back on Fifth Avenue, when she makes the mistake of bringing up the M word (Marriage) with commitment-shy Luke.

Soon Lizzie finds herself jobless as well as homeless all over again. Can Lizzie save herself - and the hapless Jill - and find career security (not to mention a mutually satisfying committed relationship) at last?

Ladiibbug's Reveal:

The Pink Panther Gets Lucky (2006) - Marc Cerasini & Alice Alfonsi

An All-New Inspector Jacques Clouseau Adventure![/B]

user posted image

When the legendary Hot Pink diamond mysteriously vanishes during a magic show at the popular MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas –– along with the famous starlet who was last seen wearing it upon her ample bosom –– authorities immediately summon Chief Inspector Jaques Clouseau, the world renowned investigator from the Paris Police Bureau, to the scene of the crime.

With the aid of an American private eye and bounty hunter "Junkyard" Bob Convoy, the French detective who bumbled his way to fame in the widely celebrated Pink Panther case is determined to track down the bauble and the bosom it was last cleaving to.

Oddsmakers predict he'll solve the case ... or go bust trying to! So look out evil–doers: Clouseau is in Sin City!

Brat's Reveal is:

Behind Closed Doors by Tara Taylor Quinn

user posted image

From Booklist
When two masked men break into the Kendall home and brutally rape Laura, her husband, Harry, is certain that the crime is hate related. He is African American, and Laura is white, and the attackers tell her that "white stays with white." Tucson police detective Daniel Boyd isn't initially convinced of the hate-crime connection, so Harry begins his own investigation, which soon leads him to a possible link to the Ivory Nation, one of Arizona's most terrifying white-supremacist groups. While Harry searches for justice, Laura struggles to rebuild her life and her marriage, both of which may be destroyed beyond repair. The second in Quinn's Ivory Nation trilogy, following In Plain Sight (2006), is an intense, dark, and thought-provoking look at the damage hatred and fear cause in the world and an affecting drama that reveals how love and hope can heal those same wounds. Combining her usual superb sense of characterization with a realistically gritty plot, Quinn has created an exceptionally powerful book.
