Turn Left at Sanity by Nancy Warren


Is he the only sane person in town? Corporate shark Joe Moncrief wastes no time in gettin gexactly what he wants. And what he wants is to spend one brief night in Beaverton, Idaho, buy up most of the land for a fertilizer plant, and get out. No one warned him that Beaverton is home to a kooky collection of outrageous eccentrics who don't seem to grasp the concept of money, or that his B&B, the Shady Lady, is a former brothel, which now houses retired ladies of the evening. Then there's the proprietor of the B&B, Emmylou Sargent. Pretty, warm, and apparently not deranged, she's a baking, homemanking, small-town girl -- the sort of woman Joe would never be attracted to under normal circumstances. But nothing in Beaverton is normal.

Or is normal highly rated?

Add me to the list. No hacker is going to bring me down!

Nevermind. I can't play. BF is in a online poker tournament starting in 10 minutes. :angry:

I added Ramson, but you can take over updating now Wendy :)

Bad BF!!! :whip:

That is why the BF and I have our own computers

butterfly-noir your up, do you want to steal or ask someone to reveal?

Sorry-- my dial-up from hell decided to quit working so I hod to reconnect. :bash:

I just finally picked my book. :)

Irenic, do you not have a wishlist on cliff's site? I couldn't find you there. Was I just not looking in the right place?

Bear with me all. I will do my best to do quick updates. If I disappear please don't hesitate to update for me.

Stupid dial-up!

I want karendawn to reveal :ph43r:

Nope, no list yet, I will read anything.

dang! You took my move! :P

Be right back!

Amen sister! Hubby and I would end up killing each other.

Can I still join ?

Does anyone else find that chick from the Lypha banner annoying? She's kinda freakin' me out. She's blone, blue eyed and looks straight out of the Stepford Wives! Homechick is giving me the willies.

Just to trick those of you who were in the last ALS, I didn't pick a book from each wishlist. :P (Okay, well, I did pick a few different ones) But this book is on at least one wishlist....

Carpe Demon by Julie Kenner



From the back cover:
Lots of women put their careers aside once their kids come along. Kate Connor, for instance, hasn't hunted a demon in ages...

That must be why she missed the one wandering through the pet food aisle of the San Diablo Wal-Mart. Unfortunately, he managed to catch her attention an hour later - when he crashed into the Connor house, intent on killing her.

Now Kate has to clean up the mess in her kitchen, dispose of a dead demon, and pull together a dinner party that will get her husband elected to County Attorney - all without arousing her family's suspicion. Worse yet, it seems the dead demon didn't come alone.

It's time for Kate Connor to go back to work.

I haven't read it yet, but I somehow got two copies, so it can go out tomorrow!

te figth for the pc whit younger sis already started!

luckly here teen soap is on tv now so I'm keeping her away :whip:

wendy, can you add malagan on please :kiss:

I (thankfully) no longer have a hubbie to try and take away my computer time... but now I have a (almost) 2 year old who wants to type at the same time I do. :)

My husband and I tried going down to one computer when we first got married. I think that lasted a month. Now we each have our own computers and I also have a laptop (and he's been thinking about getting one).

I couldn't imagine having to share with him now! We're both on our computers way too often at the same time.

you will soon!

now that you have been corrupted by our swapping :rolleyes:

Yep I will add you to the end of the next update.

Got her Sand.

It seams like I update my wishlist at the end of every swap.

I'd NEVER deal with not having my own PC or Laptop. LB & I both have laptops and he also has PC at his place. Assuming I end up moving in there, I'll have my PC hooked up at some point I'm sure and I think he has another PC or two he wants to hook up so that there can be a gaming LAN.

I keep forgetting to update mine from swaps so I've been trying to go through Shaunie's sites and check all the reveal threads. :rolleyes:

I have a list of books that I have seen on the couple of relays that I was in, so I guess I should make one.

Needmorezoloft ----- I LOVE your picture.

Hey Lei - how did moving TBRs to AVLs go? I've moved over 50 books so far! :bananadance: Granted, it's going to be a pain in the ass to locate those books in their physical form! :blink:

Well...I've read both books....sooooooooooooooooooooo...who should I have reveal. If you've got something good to offer raise your hand.

NMZ's hand shot up first...so tell us, what do you have to offer???

Thanks! I thought it fit. :)

Oh and I've actually been updating my wishlist from Sand's bookshelf. I'm on page 40 right now. Whenever I get bored, I'll check out her shelf and add books to my wishlist. Mainly because it seams we have just about the same tastes in books. :)

It's on mine! :whistle:

brb with it...

Carpe Demon sounds pretty good!

LMFAO!!! I didn't realize you had been rummaging around over here! :lol: :P

I got this one this weekend to trade or swap or whatever in honor of the new movie, and it being one of my fav. books...


The Devil Wears Prada
by Lauren Weisberger



Amazon.com
It's a killer title: The Devil Wears Prada. And it's killer material: author Lauren Weisberger did a stint as assistant to Anna Wintour, the all-powerful editor of Vogue magazine. Now she's written a book, and this is its theme: narrator Andrea Sachs goes to work for Miranda Priestly, the all-powerful editor of Runway magazine. Turns out Miranda is quite the bossyboots. That's pretty much the extent of the novel, but it's plenty. Miranda's behavior is so insanely over-the-top that it's a gas to see what she'll do next, and to try to guess which incidents were culled from the real-life antics of the woman who's been called Anna "Nuclear" Wintour. For instance, when Miranda goes to Paris for the collections, Andrea receives a call back at the New York office (where, incidentally, she's not allowed to leave her desk to eat or go to the bathroom, lest her boss should call). Miranda bellows over the line: "I am standing in the pouring rain on the rue de Rivoli and my driver has vanished. Vanished! Find him immediately!"
This kind of thing is delicious fun to read about, though not as well written as its obvious antecedent, The Nanny Diaries. And therein lies the essential problem of the book. Andrea's goal in life is to work for The New Yorker--she's only sticking it out with Miranda for a job recommendation. But author Weisberger is such an inept, ungrammatical writer, you're positively rooting for her fictional alter ego not to get anywhere near The New Yorker. Still, Weisberger has certainly one-upped Me Times Three author Alex Witchel, whose magazine-world novel never gave us the inside dope that was the book's whole raison d' etre. For the most part, The Devil Wears Prada focuses on the outrageous Miranda Priestly, and she's an irresistible spectacle. --Claire Dederer --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From Publishers Weekly
Most recent college grads know they have to start at the bottom and work their way up. But not many picture themselves having to pick up their boss's dry cleaning, deliver them hot lattes, land them copies of the newest Harry Potter book before it hits stores and screen potential nannies for their children. Charmingly unfashionable Andrea Sachs, upon graduating from Brown, finds herself in this precarious position: she's an assistant to the most revered-and hated-woman in fashion, Runway editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly. The self-described "biggest fashion loser to ever hit the scene," Andy takes the job hoping to land at the New Yorker after a year. As the "lowest-paid-but-most-highly-perked assistant in the free world," she soon learns her Nine West loafers won't cut it-everyone wears Jimmy Choos or Manolos-and that the four years she spent memorizing poems and examining prose will not help her in her new role of "finding, fetching, or faxing" whatever the diabolical Miranda wants, immediately. Life is pretty grim for Andy, but Weisberger, whose stint as Anna Wintour's assistant at Vogue couldn't possibly have anything to do with the novel's inspiration, infuses the narrative with plenty of dead-on assessments of fashion's frivolity and realistic, funny portrayals of life as a peon. Andy's mishaps will undoubtedly elicit laughter from readers, and the story's even got a virtuous little moral at its heart. Weisberger has penned a comic novel that manages to rise to the upper echelons of the chick-lit genre.
