Fashionably Late by Beth Kendrick

Fashionably Late by Beth Kendrick has fashion, celebrities, and romance, all with a witty and clever tone.

The supporting characters are well written, with unique tales as well, making Fashionably Late an irrestistible chick lit novel.

The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella

The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella has funny elements and charming characters, but the plot is a little out there. Kinsella finds a way to pull it off though, easily drawing me into the story and Samantha’s love interest with the gardener who knows she is not truly a housekeeper, and the element of mystery surrounding that unseen memo costing Samantha her career and promotion. Another witty novel from Sophie Kinsella.

Killer Deal by Sheryl J. Anderson

I have to say that I didn’t find Killer Deal quite as exciting and titillating as the first two novels, but I enjoyed following Molly’s story as she tries to get her byline while juggling her boyfriend and personal life. Anderson gives readers another light-hearted read that does an excellent job of mixing mystery and chick lit.

Jillian Michael’s Fitness Ultimatum 2009

I am so excited to buy Jillian Michael’s Fitness Ultimatum 2009 for my Wii system. This interactive system with The Biggest Loser trainer Jillian Michael’s has four different types of workouts one can choose: weight loss, strength training, intervals, and hill climb modes. Users are able to set their intensity and duration of workouts. The customization is great on this program, and you can see your statistics such as weight, calories burned; and see gym alternatives, traveling workouts, food substitutions, and cooking tips. This looks like a great workout, and I think it will be more of a challenge than the Wii fit because the variety and customization that users can utilize. I will post my review as soon as I try it out!
