Match Me

Bonnie has been in love with Chase Somers since elementary school and seeing him at the altar with the absolute wrong girl causes her to do the unthinkable—toss a shoe in his direction in order to try and stop it. But she doesn’t count on the shoe knocking him out. Nor does she count on the entire church knowing it was her who did the throwing. The shoe doesn’t stop the wedding, but it does make her the laughingstock of her town. As Bonnie copes with both the embarrassment of her actions and the loss of the boy she has always loved, her best friend Jill attempts to yank her out of her despair by pushing her to use Match Me, an online dating service. Despite her skepticism, Bonnie agrees to go on a few dates, dates that end up going comically bad. Convinced that she will be single forever, an unanticipated complication causes Bonnie to take stock of her life and the people around her. Was she really ever in love with Chase Somers? Or was loving him simply the easy thing to do? Crashing the wedding—and throwing that shoe—just may end up being the smartest thing she's ever done.

This was a super fast, easy book to read. It had me laughing to the very end. Bonnie's childhood best friend, who is also her ex-boyfriend is getting. She shows up to the wedding intent to crash it and change his mind, convince him to marry her instead. The quircky wedding crashing girl doens't have much good luck these days. Her best friend convinces her to date other people and try to forget about Chase. Besides, he's on a fantastic honeymoon with his new bride.

My friend had a really beautiful, lowkey wedding last weekend. I loved every minute of it. It was outdoors, pretty leafs were on the ground everywhere. Delicious bbq chicken. A candy-bar. nice dancefloor. I had such a great time!!

 I bought this beautiful dress, and then even prettier shoes. I can't wait to wear this outfit again sometime...

Its my BIRTHDAY WEEK!!!

birthdays are special to me. I love them. This is the pre-birthday week for me. the SHSU vs A&M football game was a birthday present for me. I bought the tickets, but I told Bo if he went with me, that would be his present to me. because I really just wanted to go to a game. well, he thought that wasn't a good enough present, and he surprised me with me an actual gift. my first birthday gift this year.

I may have told him that the key to my heart is a Nestle Crunch and a coke... (and a Victoria Secret's gift card).

The Wife of Reilly





I have to admit, I didn’t read what this book was about before I started reading it. I typically pick my books based on if the cover picture looks appealing or not. Prudence Malone lives in New York with her husband Reilly, who is more like a roommate than a lover. One a weekend trip to her Alma Mater with a few girlfriends in Michigan, she runs into her college sweetheart, who dumped her with no explanation 15 years ago. When the college sweetheart asks her out to dinner, she blurts out that that her husband is dead. After an unforgettable weekend together, Matt impulsively proposes to Prudence. Prudence, with the help of her three best friends, set out on a new mission: to find Reilly a new wife. She feels bad to divorce Reilly and leave him wife-less. Prudence is an extremely fashionable, and even more extremely self-involved in herself. This was a good, easy book to read and it kept me interested as Prudence is not unlike a lot of women, confused about where her heart belongs. As her life takes a 180-degree turn from one way of life to another, you will begin to root for Prudence and wonder what is it she is really after, after all?

The Suburban Task Force





This book was very entertaining all the way to the end. Once you get past the rambling of the first person in the story, I found myself laughing though out the book. It seems very far-fetched of course, but the women in Surburban Task Force are best friends on a mission. To save their husbands. 

When North Korean military men capture an entire island and hold them hostage, three best friends, who recently took a self-defense weekend class, make it their mission to rescue the people, including their husbands that are held in a separate room than the women. This is a laugh out loud book. I could easily envision this book as a humorous movie.
