    Of those I've only read The Lovely Bones. A very moving but slightly disturbing novel, well worth the read.

    Only read Lovely Bones on your tbr pile.  Although it was very good story, it was really sad.

    Re: Bacardi_queen's (first ever) TBR List

    We have a similar taste I think...

    The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold (great book. Quite graphic and upsetting in parts but a beautiful story)

    Amanda's Wedding - Jenny Colgan (On my TBR)

    Do You Remember The First Time - Jenny Colgan (I think I've read this but can't rememember! It is a while ago if I have)

    Diary of a Manhatten Call Girl - Tracy Quan (I enjoyed this but not as much as Belle De Jour)

    Last Chance Saloon - Marian Keyes (The first Marian Keyes novel I read that started the love affair! Brilliant)

    Well Groomed - Fiona Walker (I've got one of hers on my TBR but not this one. Not read any of her others)

    The Pact - Jodi Picoult (On my TBR but loved the ones I have read by her)

    Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married - Marian Keyes (As above!)

    Hi

    I've only read The Lovely Bones from your list which is a fabulous book - very brave subject matter to tackle but done so well.

    I did, thank you!  I don't have two copies, that was a mistake.  Not used to handling this size TBR!  Don't know how some of you guys manage!

    My review of Do You Remember The First Time?:

    I found her writing style hard to get into at first but soon was enjoying it & during the last few chapters couldn't put it down! Stanzi was my fave character as she was so funny & different. I'll be continuing to read Colgan and overall rated this one 7/10.
