So, I went to Barnes and Noble and splurged. I got a bunch of new books and another audio book.

I picked up Jennifer Weiner's new book Certain Girls, and couldn't wait....so I jumped in the minute I got home.

My question is this.

Cannie mentions having a baby by Bruce, her ex, and I can't remember if that was included in the ending of Good in Bed. I don't want to dig through storage to actually find Good in Bed so I've decided to ask everyone here!

Help me out. How did Good in Bed end?

Is it a sequential series? I bought Twilight the other day. Is that the first of the series?

Zeff, I read Good In Bed, a ways back, but I can't remember whether Cannie had a baby or not. I don't think she did, but I may be wrong. How are you liking Certain Girls? I really like Jennifer Weiner, especially since she's local. I'll have to pick up more of her books for some good summer reading. I just started reading Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks. I didn't think I'd like it, but it's pretty good so far.

Cottage, I don't think she actually had the baby in Good in Bed either, but I think she might have found out she was pregnant....

I had to put down Certain Girls until I could answer this question. I'm neurotic like that.

I had bought the Certain Girls audio book for our summer vacation, but returned it and got the book instead. We have tons of audio books and I don't think that DH is going to appreciate listening to that one.

I LOVE Jennifer Weiner, she is definitely my favorite "Chick-Lit" authors. I've read all of her other books and they have all lived up to my expectations.

Lately, my brain just feels like jello. My reading comprehension is horrible, so I've had to stick to light reading instead of philosophy or theistic topics. It isn't so bad though, it is nice to be able to fully escape into a book.

Zeff, I can't remember if she'd actually HAD the baby by the end of Good in Bed, but she shows up in cameo in another book...I think In Her Shoes...and I'm pretty sure she has the baby with her in that one. She is pregnant almost all the way through Good in Bed if I remember correctly.

Why do I not remember this. Does your brain feel like jello too? I have the worst memory when I'm pregnant, it drives me crazy!

I'm going to have to dig out Good in Bed AND In Her Shoes.

I seem to remember Cannie and Maxi making a big to-do about Cannie being pregnant. I just used Google Reader to see if I could read it in the preview, but so many pages were omitted. The entire last half of the book was gone.

She had the baby at the end. It was the ex's girlfriend that shoved her in the bathroom that sent her into early labor. I think it was a girl baby. Remember thay were all anxious at the hospital over whether or not they would be allright? I think I remember this correctly as I read it not too long ago, but I didn't like it too much.

Thanks, Schmoo - As I read more of Certain Girls it started to come to me.

Just finished Certain Girls, it took me about a day. I just couldn't put it down.

I loved it. I thought it was light and funny and heartwarming.

Jennifer Weiner's books are always good for a second, third, tenth read also...which is why I buy them instead of borrowing them from the library.

I don't know what I'm going to read next...Maybe Twilight. I've heard it is exceptional.

I just finished a great book! It is Julia's Hope by Leisha Kelly. I believe it is the first of a five-book series about this family. It takes place in the Depression and I loved reading about farming and cooking without electricity. I zoomed through it!!

Also recently I listened to Patty Jane's House of Curl by Lorna Landvik on CD. I think Landvik is so talented and often overlooked. Her book Oh My Stars is really superb. Anyway, Patt Jane was also a great "read"!
