Finished “I Do, but I Don’t”

I Do, But I Don't by Cara Lockwood I finished a really great library book a couple of nights ago called “I Do, But I Don’t” by Cara Lockwood. This was my first book by this author and I hope it’s not the last. This one was, unfortunately, the only one available to me in my local library system, so I’ll have to head out to Borders one day and look for some more by this author.

After struggling through the last book, this one was a total and thorough joy to read. It was light, fun and frivolous, a true “chick lit” kind of book. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for something light and engaging. It sort of reminded me of the movie “The Wedding Planner”, since the main character, Lauren, is a wedding planner in good ole Austin Texas. But the similarities end there and I must say, I really liked this book. It just ended too quickly. 🙂

For the record, that makes #46 for the year so far, with a total of 16,346 pages read. Up next is my last library book from the trip a couple of weeks ago, “Jewels of the Sun” by Nora Roberts. I might possibly be the only person on the planet not to have read any Nora Roberts (or J.D. Robb) books yet, but this is honestly my first. It’s also the first of a trilogy of books set in Ireland. I hope I enjoy it as well. After that, I’m not sure if I’ll get more at the library or actually try to read one I have bought and stacked in my bookcase. I have a feeling I’ll head back to the library and get more. I do so much better when I have a book with a due date on it, LOL! :mrgreen: (Of course, that doesn’t stop me from buying books when I go to the bookstore!!!!)

    Cool, I’ll have to look into that. I need something light & fun to read.

  2. Southern Girl Said,

    Another “chick lit” book in the wedding planner genre you might check out is “Throwing the Bride” by Jennifer somebody or other. *g* I think the last name starts with “F” maybe. Anyway, it was a fun read. 🙂

    Congratulations on getting so many books read this year! Last year I set a goal for myself to read 50 in ’05 and I just *barely* made it. This year I was determined to do 60 in ’06 and I met my goal on May 26! You’re gaining on them though! *g*

  3. Debi Said,

    Cool! I’m glad you liked it! I haven’t read any Nora Roberts books. I started to read “Naked in Death”, the first J.D. Robb book, and it was too graphic for me. But those are more mystery/suspense.

    Oh, and on the Kingsbury books – A Time to Dance comes before A Time to Embrace. Definitely read the Dance one first or you’ll know the outcome.
