Before I discovered Kinsella, Griffin, Picoult and all the other authors I read now, I was hopeless McNaughtized. I was a die-hard Judith McNaught fan, to the point of buying every book she has come out with and reading them all. If wireless cctv cameras were installed in our house back then, you would McNaught books on almost all the places I hang out in – the sofa, my bed, even the bathroom. I think Ive read most of her books more than ten times.

I am in the process of reading her latest book:

Every Breath You Take

High atop a snow-covered hill, the stately old Wyatt mansion is perched like a crown, its stone spires pointing upward, its stained glass windows glowing like colorful jewels. Such opulence means success and, surely, happiness. But on the eve of wealthy philanthropist Cecil Wyatt’s eightieth birthday, all the money in the world won’t bring back his missing grandson, William Wyatt. The only thing for certain: Foul play was involved.

The family, the police, the media–all have tried in vain to discover the young man’s fate. Now suspicion has turned shockingly toward William’s own half-brother, the rather distant and enigmatic Mitchell Wyatt.

Kate Donovan never dreamed that a chance romantic encounter on a tropical island paradise would tag her as a suspect in a high-society murder case. But after Kate tangles with the darkly charismatic Mitchell Wyatt, she finds herself cast in a shadow of guilt and mistrust. As the Chicago police tighten their net, it will take all of Kate’s ingenuity to clear her name. With her calm, cool wit, and the help of a man who may or may not be a dangerous catch, Kate vows to claim the life and love she desires.

This one is coming out in December 2011:

And this one involves a Westmoreland modern day prince!

Cant Take My Eyes Off of You

One of the most popular authors is set to dazzle readers again. Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You is the story of a complex, charismatic man and a successful, spirited woman who in their youth fell in love, married, and divorced–but years later are given a rare second chance to rediscover that love can rekindle their relationship.

A brilliantly written, triumphant tale of love lost and regained–with appearances from popular characters from her previous books–Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You will remind millions of fans exactly why her books have won their hearts.

Once work subsides a little, I plan to finish these two books I have bough the other week. I actually keep one in my bag every time I go out – for travel emergency purposes a.k.a keep me from getting bored while waiting.

Eat. Pray. Love.

A celebrated writer’s irresistible, candid, and eloquent account of her pursuit of worldly pleasure, spiritual devotion, and what she really wanted out of life.

Around the time Elizabeth Gilbert turned thirty, she went through an early-onslaught midlife crisis. She had everything an educated, ambitious American woman was supposed to want—a husband, a house, a successful career. But instead of feeling happy and fulfilled, she was consumed with panic, grief, and confusion. She went through a divorce, a crushing depression, another failed love, and the eradication of everything she ever thought she was supposed to be.

To recover from all this, Gilbert took a radical step. In order to give herself the time and space to find out who she really was and what she really wanted, she got rid of her belongings, quit her job, and undertook a yearlong journey around the world—all alone. Eat, Pray, Love is the absorbing chronicle of that year. Her aim was to visit three places where she could examine one aspect of her own nature set against the backdrop of a culture that has traditionally done that one thing very well. In Rome, she studied the art of pleasure, learning to speak Italian and gaining the twenty-three happiest pounds of her life. India was for the art of devotion, and with the help of a native guru and a surprisingly wise cowboy from Texas, she embarked on four uninterrupted months of spiritual exploration. In Bali, she studied the art of balance between worldly enjoyment and divine transcendence. She became the pupil of an elderly medicine man and also fell in love the best way—unexpectedly.

An intensely articulate and moving memoir of self-discovery, Eat, Pray, Love is about what can happen when you claim responsibility for your own contentment and stop trying to live in imitation of society’s ideals. It is certain to touch anyone who has ever woken up to the unrelenting need for change.

Plain Truth.

Moving seamlessly from psychological drama to courtroom suspense, Plain Truth is a fascinating portrait of Amish life rarely witnessed by those outside the faith. When a young Amish teen hides a pregnancy, gives birth in secret, and then flatly denies it all when the baby’s body is found, urban defense attorney Ellie Hathaway decides to defend her. But she finds herself caught in a clash of cultures with a people whose channels of justice are markedly different from her own… and discovers a place where circumstances are not always what they seem.

I saw a video of YouTube sensation Charice Pempengco a few weeks ago showing her undergoing Botox treatment – at 18 years old! It has received negative backlash during the week it aired all over the internet, with many people commenting how young she is to need Botox. It turns out that Botox treatments can relieve TMJ pain, which Charice experiences. As it turns out, many people her age are already undergoing cosmetic surgery mexico – primarily on the face, to enhance features like the nose and lips (I think Angelina Jolie has an influence on how fuller lips are perceived to be more beautiful).

Aside from cosmetic surgery, breast augmentation surgery is one of the most popular procedures women undergo with plastic surgery mexico. I know it is a little too early for tummy tuck surgery or liposuction, many women are now open to it since vanity has been taken to mainstream with celebrities openly endorsing it.

Changing one’s personal appearance is a big decision. When carefully thought of and reflected upon, a person can experience a lot of happiness and self-contentment with looking the way they want.

Dr. Manuel Gutierrez of the Tijuana Plastic Surgery center heads the best cosmetic surgery center in Mexico. It is located in the busiest border in the world between Tijuana and San Diego California. This unique location draws patients from all over the world to the medical center.

I was watching the news early this morning and I saw that water problem still exists in some parts of the metro until now. This has been a prevalent for some time now and has been posing risks to residents in the area, especially to small children. That is why it is best to invest on some water filters at home, to ensure water safety. Recently, I have come across with a trusted dealer of purifiers which are made in the USA. Their years of service and reputation along with their commendable test results on filtration make them the leader in home water filters industry. Berkey Water filters are outstanding because they help remove harmful bacteria, parasites, cysts and Chlorine and other unhealthy chemical contaminants to levels higher than 99.99% without removing the essential minerals. Aside from providing quality products, they also offer discounts for bulk orders and deals for charity organizations and missionaries. These water filters are durable and will last up to 3000 gallons of water so it lets you save a huge amount of money. Moreover, Berkey water filters are versatile as they are not limited to types of water they can purify. Treated water and untreated raw water from remote lakes, ponds, ect. can be purified by Berkey Water purifiers. Water is one of our most basic needs and we should make sure that it is safe and free from harmful elements.

Lighting is very important in enhancing a home. I love interior designing and as I read through books and magazines, there is always a part of the reading material that discusses lighting. I also observed that the kitchen is the part of the house that is the least given attention at when it comes to lighting. Ordinary bulbs and fluorescents are commonly used in the kitchen, if it’s brighter, it’s better! I beg to disagree of course, a kitchen deserves one of the best kitchen light fixtures in the market.

Choosing the perfect kitchen pendant lighting for your own kitchen is of course difficult especially if you are a no expert like me. So going to a store with a wide array of selection of pendant light fixtures or any home lighting fixtures for that matter, is very helpful. That is why I love Echo Lighting Design because they have the most beautiful fixtures there is for a home. Pendant fixtures are getting more and more popular these days because it adds character to a room than or regular designed fixtures. But of course you have to consider the size of the fixtures and at Echo Lighting Design, they have all sizes of fixtures that you need. I am considering these fixtures for our kitchen.

We have a modern kitchen design and choosing one from the selection above will be perfect for my favorite part of the house.

Most often, I depend on my husband’s expertise when it comes to computer repair and troubleshooting. I do not have the innate skill and not to mention patience when dealing with computer problems like virus attacks and others. However, there are times when my husband is unavailable because of work, or the problem is too complicated for him to handle. It is good that a computer shop is nearby and a computer technician that I know there is just a call away. I wish that we also have a company here similar to PCMD, Inc. It is a company that addresses computer repair for small business and home users in Portland. Office hours are 8 AM to 7 PM daily, even during weekends. What separates them apart from other companies is that their personal touch when it comes to computer troubleshooting. Their team of experts are able to work both with PC and Macs whether your problem is spyware and virus removal, hardware of software installation, OS installation or data backup. They are the best Portland computer repair company! For more flexibility, they also offer remote service repair that lets them fix your computer remotely over the Internet. This service costs less compared to other computer repair shops. To further promote better communication with their clients, they have set up accounts on famous social networking websites like Facebook, Twitter and even YouTube. That’s what makes them the number one in Portland pc repair– their extra effort in providing personal service to their clients.

When eBooks or electronic books were introduced in the 1970s, its popularity slowly but surely grew. In fact, the past few years have shown an exponential growth in its use and popularity. From the usual paperbacks converted into eBooks, many have seen its use in corporate publishing and other forms digital publishing. The introduction of the Kindle and the more recent iPad is enough to make any ebook publisher happy. The dissemination of information has been made easier, more robust, and dynamic because of the numerous digital publishing solutions made available. Among the usual services a digital publishing company may offer are eBook creation, eBook conversion, editorial composition, editing, proofreading, copy editing, indexing, and even artwork and graphic design. In addition to this, many web-based authoring tools like PowerXEditor and Powersuite Tools make it very easy and efficient to undergo a digital publishing project. Even newbies can launch their own projects because many companies are very much willing to guide those who are just starting out by giving consultations and advise. With the popularity that eBooks are enjoying now, the continued growth and potential in the field of digital publishing are endless. Who knows, pretty soon documents, books, magazines, manuals, and all other kinds of publications will be available digitally.

I think we should be asking Innovatech for refurbishing my parents’ floors at their house. We need their service of tile removal and replacing it with much great quality tiles since some of the tiles in the kitchen already have cracks. I think their contractor gave them low quality tiles because the house is almost new, we’ve been living here for only 3 years and I think the cracking of some of the tiles are too early. I told my dad about Innovatech since they are planning to have some parts of the house repainted, I suggested that maybe some of the tiles should be replaced as well. With the superb service of Innovatech, my dad will be very happy and the house will be flawless again. Innovatech has the best services to offer of floor removal to concrete polishing. They also have the service for carpet removal which I think my friend needs when she renovates her own apartment. Their Terminator, i-Shine and Predator machines are the best there is in this industry. I heard so many raves about how they gave services and refurbishing floors are one of their forte. With being in service for more than a decade, they became the industry’s leader and if we get their services, I am pretty sure my parents will save more than expected from maintaining their dream home.

I have a friend whose family business is into fabrics and upholstery. With their business, they usually buy Wholesale fabrics and they were able to save a lot because they buy bulks of upholstery and drapery Fabrics for their customers. She said that many of their customers get their service for repairs or replacements of old fabrics of their furniture or customized matching curtains. Most of their customers refrain from buying new sets of furniture like sofas when theirs begins to worn-out. Instead for buying new ones they opted to have the old ones repaired. So they are always on the lookout for new designs and quality and affordable fabrics to meet and exceed their customer’s needs and preferences. I’m not an expert on the area of fabrics and textiles but I was able to help by recommending her to a good online fabric site – Discountfabricsusacorp.com. They have an amazing line of fabrics to fit a variety of needs. They also carry discount fabrics priced as low as $6.99 a yard. Their collections are divided into themes for the ease of customers who shop at a particular style or theme. Their collection includes chenille, leather hides, linen solids, silk, velvet, and woven designs to name a few. They also carry eco-friendly fabrics. And the most amazing fact is that they have a flat rate of $5 for shipping within US.

The ground breaking for the new worship house just started. My dad already selected the water fixtures and forwarded his choices to the contractor. I did not know is necessary early on in the construction but apparently, this is necessary to know as foundation is poured to know where the plumbing pipes will be laid down. Next we need to research on Hydraulic rams, as we need to install one. It is a water pump powered by hydro energy to take water from a source and pump it up to reservoir at a higher elevation to increase flow-rate. Since the worship house is going to be built on a hill, we will need to install one. I’m searching online and came across Freemont Industrial Supply, a distributor and major industry leader in selling Electric motors, compressed air dryer, and other pumps and equipments. Even if you are not fully knowledgeable of their products, their website which is easy to navigate, lists product specifications and features, complete with pictures. You may call their 800 number if you need further product information, shipping rates and customer support. They process your order right away and ship the same day via USPS Flat Rate or UPS within the 50 states in the USA. Or through FedEx Motor Shipping.

The husband and I usually have a discussion each week as to the state of our finances. We are trying really hard to save so we can move on to bigger things but it seems not matter how much we try, our savings grow at a snail pace. A friend recently advised us to invest our savings rather than having it earn little interest in the bank and that a good investment these days is to buy gold eagle coins.

Gold and silver are considered precious metals and have experienced an increased demand during the past years. You can buy gold and silver in ingot or coin form at the US Gold Bureau.

Whether you’re traveling for business or pleasure, London abounds with options for entertainment and culture that are unrivaled by most cities. The city itself is a sprawling, almost overwhelming, metropolis that could take weeks to explore fully. Part of the fun of experiencing London is finding places that are off the beaten track, places that the average tourist wouldn’t know about – places that aren’t in the guidebooks. Check the Internet for flights to London to compare fares, and check out these ideas for places to visit in London where you won’t be battling crowds or seeing typical souvenir stands. For accommodations, recommendations for the top 10 london hotels from many overly satisfied tourists can be browsed on the web.

Cabinet War Rooms

During the darkest hours of World War II for Britain, Winston Churchill and his staff were holed up in a bomb proof bunker in Westminster, desperately conducting the country’s strategy while German bombers flew overhead. The Cabinet War Rooms museum has preserved this historic spot without altering it: virtually everything has been left just as it was, so visitors can get an uncommonly realistic glimpse into what the experience must have been like for those men. There’s a phone that was exclusively used for Churchill’s phone calls to FDR, the U.S. President at the time, and an exhibit on Churchill’s life to peruse.

Hackney City Farm

If you fancy a traditional English breakfast, or if you’re vacationing with the kids, you’ll love Hackney City farm, which oddly enough, is in the city. Check out the pigs, cows and goats, and dine on said animals in the café. There’s a petting zoo as well, and best of all, other than the cafe, it’s all free. The farm is a great escape for those who need a break from the bustle of the city, and you’ll find many locals here taking advantage of what feels like a transplanted piece of countryside.

Nowadays, personalized plates are often called vanity plates, with mostly celebrities and high-end socialites (think Paris Hilton) branding personalize name plates for their cars. Cherished Number Plates is actually the name often used for it – as they are indeed “cherished”, important and very close to the car owners. They were the ones who have thought of it in the first place.

One great feature of these plates are they are transferrable from one car to another. Of course, there is a process involved but it is doable.  The cherished transfer scheme from the DVLA allows car owners with a personalized plate number to transfer them from car to car. It is useful for people who are selling their car and want to transfer their plate number to the new one they will be buying.

Here are some key points you need to remember:
1. Transfer applications must be made to your local DVLA office in person or by post mail. A V317 form should be completed and are available from the DVLA and main post offices.

2. During the process the car giving up the registration number is known as the donor vehicle and the other car is known as the receiving vehicle. Vehicles must be in existence and registered with the DVLA to partake in the transfer scheme.

Just for fun, I thought I’d list down the cars I would want to own if only I had an endless supply of money. Take note I would not even list everybody’s dream cars – a Ferrari, BMW or Lamborghini. I have personally taken a preference towards SUVs because they are bigger than a car but more stylish and less bulky than a van – again, personal preference – no rhyme or reason.

I also have taken a liking to diesel engines because if I can’t use the car because I don’t have money for gas, it would defeat the purpose of owning one right?

 Personal Number Plates are also on my list – if I were to own my dream car (or cars!) I would want it to have a nice plate number – our kids’ initials are the lucky letters for us!

These are the Ford Escape and Ford Everest. No, I’m not partial to Ford motors. It’s just that these are the cars I have ridden in and have found to be the most comfortable. On the driver’s end, since my dad can drive them (he is not on the best condition to drive given his illnesses), I can vouch that they are easy to drive!

Historians can trace modern bingo back to 1530. At that time, an Italian lottery called Lo Giucco del Lotto D’Italia was popular, and people still play this game every Saturday in Italy . Wealthy French citizens had a similar game they enjoyed in the late 1770s, and the Germans used something like bingo to teach students math, spelling, and history. Bingo did not reach the U.S. until 1929.

Originally called Beano, a county fair in Georgia was the first location to host the U.S. version of the game. To play, a dealer would select numbered discs from a cigar box while players marked cards with beans. The winner would yell “Beano!” When toy salesman Edwin S. Lowe heard someone say Bingo instead, he changed the name and worked with a math professor named Carl Leffler to increase the combinations on bingo cards. In fact, Leffler produced an estimated 6000 cards by 1930.

Seeing a good opportunity, a Catholic priest spoke with Lowe about using bingo to raise money for church expenses. Once churches began hosting bingo games, bingo really took off in the U.S. Even today, weekly bingo games still draw large crowds. Casinos in Nevada and on Native American reservations host commercial bingo games.

In recent years, gaming institutions developed online bingo. One early online pioneer, Uproar, launched Bingo Blitz in 1998. Since then, online bingo has generated millions of dollars, and experts forecast the industry to hit $1 billion at the end of 2010. Where regular bingo uses actual balls that an official caller draws, online bingo uses a random number generating program to select numbers. For some online bingo games, users must download free software in order to play. Whether you want to play online or at a bingo hall, you can find a place where you can enjoy the game.

Finding your perfect mate doesn’t seem as easy as it did decades ago. There is no longer the boy or girl next door story that sparks a fairy tale romance. Dating nowadays seems harder and more complicated than ever before and that makes finding a mate like finding a needle in a haystack. So where can you find an ideal mate in this day and age? The answers are as traditional as they were 50 years ago and as modern as the Internet and smart phones are today.

The first and newest advancement in the world of dating is online dating. The Internet has become the marketplace for singles. Websites are doing in depth profiles to match up like people and find ways for them to connect in person. Not only is it becoming a trusted way of finding that special someone but it is a money maker for the experts. Most online dating sites are requiring a fee for their services and most of the time, it’s worth every single penny.

But if you are not finding luck online then the best places to look are right in front of your nose. Since the key to finding that special someone is having common interests, then your search should start at places you are passionate about. If you are involved in church then finding church social events and singles events is a great idea. If you are a lover of fine literature, then attending a local book club would be a great place to find someone who is an avid reader as well.

The key is to look at places you are interested in. It’s about time you went to events where people with similar interests gather. Love will not often come looking for you. You will need to go looking, and finding your special someone is worth the search.

Up to 40 percent of men may suffer from premature ejaculation. This is why a new prescription medication, called Priligy, has been invented. It is an oral medication designed to decrease the amount of serotonin in the brain, which is why some men have the problem in the first place. Doctors say that if it takes a man less than two minutes to ejaculate after initial penetration, they may have a premature ejaculation problem. This also varies depending on their norm, so there is a bit of a gray area in the diagnosis. Your doctor will listen to your concerns and help you decide if Priligy is right for you.

There is a bit of a debate about whether or not premature ejaculation is actually a medical problem, which is why it is left up to an individual to talk to his doctor about possible treatment if it bothers him. Some couples do not see premature ejaculation as a problem, and there are no health concerns if it is left untreated. Priligy, however, is available for those who desire a longer period sexual interaction.

Priligy, as with all prescription medications, should only be taken as directed by a doctor. Since Priligy decreases the amount of serotonin in the brain, it acts a lot like an anti-depressant medication. This means that patients taking Priligy should be under close doctor care to deal with dosage issues and possible side effects.

All of the research that has been done on Priligy has shown its ability to increase staying power once an erection has been achieved. This means that Priligy might be just what a person needs if they are experiencing premature ejaculation or having difficulty maintaining an erection for the amount of time they desire to have sexual activity. Talk to a doctor to see if Priligy is right for you.

Have you heard of the TransUnion Class Action Lawsuit?

Apparently, TransUnion, a credit reporting company, illegally sold confidential credit information to target marketing companies in the United States between the years 1987 and 2000. Disclosure of such personal information is a direct violation of the Federal Credit Reporting Act. A large segment of the American population was effected by this illegal action is entitled to monetary damages from a pre-established $75 million fund.

I hope you are not one of those affected (maybe that is the reason why we have so many telemarketing calls!), but if you applied for credit in the United States between 1987 and 2000 it is likely you have a claim against TransUnion. The O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath Law Office can help you. Contact them for a free consultation.

Plot Summary:

Milo Boyd, a down-on-his-luck bounty hunter, gets his dream job when he is assigned to track down his bail-jumping ex-wife, reporter Nicole Hurly. He thinks all that’s ahead is an easy payday, but when Nicole gives him the slip so she can chase a lead on a murder cover-up, Milo realizes that nothing ever goes simply with him and Nicole. The exes continually one-up each other – until they find themselves on the run for their lives. They thought their promise to love, honor and obey was tough – staying alive is going to be a whole lot tougher.

What I Thought About It:

1. First, I seriously think Jennifer Aniston’s look is getting old – same gorgeous hair, same type of neutral colored clothes, same everything. No doubt, she LOOKS great but – any change m’dear? It wont hurt.

2. I honestly dont think they have chemistry. Too rough-house for Butler and too understatedly sophisticated Aniston.

3. The story works but if it wasnt the big stars playing the roles, it would have been a flop. Wait – wasn’t it?

Knowing how much I love drama and grey situations where there is no good nor bad, just a lot of “life’s just like that” situations, I loooooooved this book. Actually I have a lot of mantras that were repeated towards the end, like how everything boils down to choice and that love, the true and kind one, has commitment and choice and responsibility.

I won’t spoil everything for you but I just cannot resist sharing this teaser:

How do you know if you’ve found the one? Can you really love the one you’re with when you can’t forget the one who got away?

Emily Giffin, author of the New York Times bestselling novels Something Borrowed, Something Blue, and Baby Proof, poses these questions-and many more-with her highly anticipated, thought-provoking new novel Love the One You’re With.

Ellen and Andy’s first year of marriage doesn’t just seem perfect, it is perfect. There is no question how deep their devotion is, and how naturally they bring out the best in each other. But one fateful afternoon, Ellen runs into Leo for the first time in eight years. Leo, the one who brought out the worst in her. Leo, the one who left her heartbroken with no explanation. Leo, the one she could never quite forget. When his reappearance ignites long-dormant emotions, Ellen begins to question whether the life she’s living is the one she’s meant to live. At once heartbreaking and funny, Love the One You’re With is a tale of lost loves and found fortunes-and will resonate with anyone who has ever wondered what if.

Some excerpts I loved:

"Love is the sum of our choices, the strength of our commitments, the ties that bind us together."

"How different this moment feels, for so many reasons. I tell myself that no two loves are identical – but that I don’t have to compare anymore."

"Love as a verb. Love as a commitment."

"Maybe that’s what it all comes down to. love, not as a surge of passion, but as a choice to commit to something, someone, no matter what obstacles or temptations stand in the way. And maybe making that choice, again and again, day in and day out, year after year, says more about love than never having a choice to make at all."

"What every girl dreams of when she’s dumped is – that the guy will someday feel regret and come back and tell her all about it. And the beauty of it is you have no regrets whatsoever."

"Did she ever regret her choices? Were her decisions more clear-cut than mine – or are there always shades of gray when it comes to matters of the heart?"

"True love is supposed to make you into a better person-uplift you."

"Instead of relief or gratitude, more guilt washes over me. Andy’s certainly not faultless – no one ever is in a marriage"

"Change can be good but its always tough to let go of the past"

"He threw in the towel before we were tested. Maybe because he didn’t want to be tested. Maybe because he assumed we would fail. Maybe because, at the time, he just didn’t love me enough."

I received news from a friend that she finally got in the Florida cosmetology School of Regency Institute. Founded more than 50 years ago in Minneapolis, Regency is the fastest growing beauty school in the country. Regency has expanded from two Minnesota schools in 2002 to almost 30 campuses across nine states, with continued growth underway for next year. She has been interested in hair styling and applying make-up for years and I really thought she had the talent for it even back then. She just knew how to instinctively enhance one’s features and downplay the not so good features. I can’t wait to hear from her!

If you have plans to read one of the books, be prepared to read both, because you can’t help it.

Both of these books tell the same story: two best friends, gorgeous bitchy Darcy and smart plain Rachel, get in a fight because Rachel steals Darcy’s fiance. Something Borrowed is from Rachel’s perspective, Something Blue from Darcy’s.

Something Borrowed

Something Borrowed is the story of Rachel White and Darcy Rhone, best friends since childhood. Rachel is used to being the good girl, the hard-worker who exists in the shadow of flashy—often selfish—Darcy. Until her thirtieth birthday that is, when a drink too many results in Rachel sleeping with Darcy’s fiance, Dexter. The fling turns into an affair, and Rachel is forced to decide which is more important, friendship or true love.

Something Blue

Something Blue is the sequel to Something Borrowed, where it tells the story of Darcy Rhone, who thought she had it all figured out: the more beautiful the girl, the more charmed her life. Never mind substance. Never mind playing by the rules. Never mind karma. But Darcy’s neat, perfect world turns upside down when her best friend, Rachel White, the plain-Jane "good girl," steals her fiance, while Darcy finds herself completely alone for the first time in her life…with a baby on the way. Darcy tries to recover, fleeing to her childhood friend living in London and resorting to her tried-and-true methods for getting what she wants. But as she attempts to recreate her glamorous life on a new continent, Darcy finds that her rules no longer apply. It is only then that Darcy can begin her journey toward self-awareness, forgiveness, and motherhood.

———————

Among the two I loved Something Blue more, perhaps because in Something Borrowed I just couldn’t get (in real life) how Rachel and Dex could have kept it a secret for so long. Plus Dex is too perfect he hardly seems real – and how he managed to keep his feelings for Rachel for 7 yrs under control is beyond me. But this is what Griffin does best. She paints real life as not only black and white but with shades of grey. And that is life. People change, love happens. Life sucks sometimes.

Something Blue was different. She illustrates that people can really change and you can really find love in the most unexpected places. Ethan is someone I wouldn’t mind falling in love with myself.

How often have we planned parties and trips with a huge number of people? Most often planning he trip with a convoy of cars and designated drivers who cannot get drunk is already a big problem. Nowadays, most people now know better – they hire a Los Angeles party bus when they have trips so they can be all in one place, have fun together, and get the party started even while on transit!. Perhaps the most important thing is that you would not need to worry about who gets behind the wheel because there is a professional licensed driver with the LA Party bus.
