As some of you know, I'm now working part time as a hostess at the bar/club/restaurant I hang out and go line dancing/see cover bands at. Well, it's known to be a little slow on some nights, and Mondays are VERY slow. To give you an example, tonight, between 5 PM and when I finished at 8:30, I sat three parties.

So, needless to say, the hostesses have a bit of free time on their hands on slow nights. There's only so much cleaning and tidying up you can do. So, there's a stack of books in the little utility/supply/coat closet.

I've been reading this hilarious book called "Slightly Settled" by Wendy Markham. It's the second book in a series, but this is the only one I've read.

It's your typical run-of-the-mill "fluff read" about a single woman in NYC who has just gotten out of a bad relationship and meets a new guy at a company Christmas party, and a mutual attraction ensues. It's just so FUNNY - the way the book is written makes me feel like I KNOW the characters and their personalities. There were some parts that had me literally laughing out loud. And I see so much of myself on the main character!

Anyway, it's an easy read - I am almost done with the book and this is only the second night I've been reading it. I can't wait to see how it ends! (And there are two sequels after it). I just felt compelled to share it with my Single Life cronies. :)

Thanks for posting this! I've heard about it, haven't read it yet but it's on order for me at the library. I can't wait for it to come in. I hope to read the series though, they all look great!

I'm not sure how I feel about being called a "cronie." ;)

Sounds like a fun read - thanks for the tip. I'm taking a vacation soon, so that might be a good airplane book.

AJ, enjoying life with C.
