The sequel to Weisberger's The Devil Wears Prada. Ten years after leaving Runway, Emily and Andy have become best friends despite the fact that Andy left the job at Runway on sour terms. They have launched a successful magazine together, The Plunge a high end bridal magazine. Soon Miranda is back in their lives even though Andy thought she would never have to deal with her again. Definitely a nice sequel, I felt that in the end Miranda did get revenge against Emily and Andy but it still worked out okay for both of them.

Book 360 Mistress by James Patterson


640 books to go!

Every time I read another James Patterson I start to regret my life just a little. No more James Patterson novels after this one, especially when he plasters his author photo on the cover of the book. Anyway if you're curious to read this newest P.O.S. it's a mystery involving the death of Diana Hotchkiss. Ben Casper, a reporter who thought he loved Diana begins fishing into her death. In the process he's terrorized by various organizations. Lots of crazy action that could happen in real life but most likely not over and over again to the same person.

The debut novel in the Magie O'Dell series by Alex Kava. Maggie comes to small town Platte City, Nebraska to investigate the murders of young boys. The murders have been shaking up the community.
