That would have made it a great read for me too.

Amy — We ran a review of Certain Girls in the paper not too long ago. I’ve been meaning to get it at the library. You should get her a bib that says “My mommy’s a librarian” too. 😎

The little one loves the books! She even has a bib that says “Read to Me”…given to me by another librarian, of course!

I think I skimmed over the part with the boyfriend where she lost her virginity. Boring. I did read on and I did like it, but if it had been tighter I could have loved it.

It’s not a sequel, per se, but Blue-Eyed Devil tells Hardy’s story. I think it came out in hardcover a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, I need to request it from my library too.

Amy — Ahhh … thanks super librarian! Now, I won’t embarrass myself (too much) if I ever meet her.

I loved Good in Bed by Weiner. Did you know she used to work at a newspaper? Maybe in Philly or Pittsburgh. And hey, you got to get the munchkin hooked on reading ASAP. That’s a mommy’s job, especially a mommy who moonlights as a super librarian. :bubbles:

The newborn and I just read _Good in Bed_ and _Certain Girls_ by Jennifer Weiner. We both thought they were very good. :biggrin: (Hey, she likes to be read to and can’t really understand me and I wanted to finish them, so we both win!)

This was a great read though. I didn’t realize there was a sequel. Putting that on my library hold list now 🙂
