Finished the Chick Lit Challenge

I recently finished Ends of the Earth by Tim Downs, the 5th Bugman novel in the series as well as Certain Girls by Jennifer Weiner, the sequel to Good in Bed. Ends of the Earth was good, just as past Bugman novels have been and the ending!!! Oh my goodness! Apparently there is an online poll involved (which I of course voted in), and a sequel coming out next March. I would definitely recommend this book if you like suspense books, but you will want to read at least Less than Dead by Tim Downs first as it provides some information on one of the characters besides the main character, Nick Polchak.

By finishing Certain Girls I finished 8 books for the Chick Lit Challenge. Here is my original list. This book was a sequel to Good in Bed and though you don't have to read that one first, it is certainly helpful. Once you've read Certain Girls, then you will have way too many spoilers to go back and read Good in Bed. It was a good book, as are the other Jennifer Weiner books I've read. Not just fluffy chick lit, but dealing with real issues in real life - daughter becoming a teenager, teen girl finding out about her mother's life and how she got pregnant with her and so forth. The chapters alternated between the perspective of Cannie, the mom, and Joy, the daughter.

Congrats, every challenge completion is such a milestone. I have one more book to go for this challenge so maybe I will pick this one. Thanks!
