Second Quarter Books

I seemed to have a hard time getting centered on reading this quarter, and I read a lot of chick-lit. I'm over apologizing for my love of chick-lit. I do feel like I should have been reading something a bit more meaty. Maybe next quarter.

I'm curious - what possessed you to read the Tori Spelling one? I go through phases where she fascinates me... I know I can't be the only one because she has all these reality series, so plenty of other people keep watching her, too - but I'm the only one I know...

Honestly, it was right there when I was at the library so I picked it up. She is such a ditz. A sweet, nice, interesting ditz. But a ditz. It wasn't a great read but not particularly bad either, and I've never seen her reality series but I can see the appeal.
