Today a friend at work asked me if I wanted to meet her at the bookstore at lunch. (Well DUH! know your audience girl!) So, I got there at the time she said to meet her...she showed up thirty minutes later. But I digress.
As I waited for my friend, I came across this book that looked like it might be interesting...The PMS Murder. I read the back cover and well, I bought it. It sounds like it will be fun. And if it is, I've found a new author to read. If not, it was just $7.00.
Here's the back blurb:
On the frontlines of the battle of the bulge, otherwise known as trying on bathing suits in the communal dressing room at Loehmann's, freelance writer Jaine Austen makes a new friend - a wanna be actress named Pam - and gets a new job: sprucing up Pam's bare-bones resume. Their feeling of connection is mutual, so Pam invites Jaine to join The PMS Club - a woman's support group that meets once a week over guacamole and margaritas.
But joining the club proves to be more a curse than a blessing for Jaine. Though she is warned that Rochelle, the hostess, makes a guacamole to die for, Jaine never takes the warning literally. Until another PMS member, Marybeth, drops dead over a mouthful of the green stuff after confessing she is having an affair with Rochelle's husband.
While Rochelle and her husband are the obvious suspects, everyone at that night's meeting is under suspicion, including Jaine. So, instead of dishing dirt with The PMS Club, Jaine has to dig up dirt on the surviving members. And soon it becomes clear: someone in this club thinks getting away with murder should be a privilege of membership...
So that's the newest on my TBR pile. What have you read lately?

That sounds great. Let me know if you like it, I'll add it to my TBR pile. I just finished James Patterson's 6th Target and it was excellent.
Do let us know what you thought.
I've been reading historicals mostly - currently Claire's The Warrior, which isn't a regency (which is what I mostly read). I've discovered a new author I like - Laura Lee Guhrke, who's next up in my TBR. And for contemporaries, I like RS (I just finished Obsession by Karen Robards) and RC (just ordered Evanovich's newest Stefanie Plum on audiobook, which will be released in a few weeks).
I'm still reading the Remarkable Miss Frankenstein, which is a totally campy regency paranormal. I blogged about the head-hopping, but once I got past that, I've enjoyed the story. It's cute. Campy. Oh so campy. Still, I care about the characters and really want them to get together. :) You're book sounds interesting. Let us know how it is!
I've got to tell you, this book is pretty fun. I wasn't sure I would like it when I first started reading it. It turns out that it's part of a series (and not the first in the series) and while it's stand-alone (as far as I can tell), she didn't give the full name of the heroine (it's told in first person) until the third chapter (but they're really short chapters - but still). I assume because she figures you would know it. And there are a few things but it is funny, I think I'm going to like it overall, but I'll let you know for sure, when I'm done. :~)
Oh, but after I posted last night, I read the back cover about the author and turns out she's written for The Bob Newhart Show, Laverne & Shirley, The Love Boat, to name a few.
