I've slightly broken my own rules by including a book with more than just a single word, but Jemima J. seemed to fit too perfectly not to include it.

Next up is a sugary chick-lit novel handily called Jemina J.. F

So far I haven't given up on anything this month, but I did skim through lots of Jemima J because it was slow moving in spots. I'm about 1/4 of the way through Jemima J by Jane Green. It's ok so far. I'm hoping it will pick up a bit more now that it's getting more into the plot. I finished Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder and have started on Jemima J by Jane Green. I felt like something light. ... me
