I am leaving to go on vacation Saturday and I need a book recommendation.  I want something light and girly.  Any rec's are welcome.

I really enjoyed "A Girl Named Zippy" by Haven Kimmel.  It is about small town Indiana, but reminds me of my small town in Oklahoma.


Have you read the Shopaholic series?

I got Trading Up for Christmas and I really like it. It is written by Candace Bushnell who wrote Sex in the City.


Here is a review:


In Trading Up, Janey Wilcox (first introduced in 4 Blondes) is a beautiful underwear model who wants everything she can get from life. She drives a Porsche Boxter, snags a rich husband, and parties in the Hamptons with the rich and powerful set. Yet it's never enough for Janey, who uses her beauty and sex appeal to move her way up through high society. Candace Bushnell (author of Sex and the City) skewers the society she knows so well.

I have 4 blondes and I read the Janey part and really liked it.  The rest of the book I didnt care too much for- I think it was the characters though.  It surprised me because I love SATC.  Maybe I will try her new one.

Any of the shopaholic books are good for trips along with can you keep a secret (same author).  I just read briget jones diary on my last trip since I never read it and I really enjoyed it.  It was a easy read.

Thanks for saying that.  I was wondering if it was good.  I think what makes it so great to read the bridget jones books is that you can picture the movie characters in the books saying and acting what the book is saying.
