Come and Join us For a Night Out With the Ladies Review and Giveaway



Are you having a hard time with your ex?  Do you need to just get away from life’s circumstances?  Come and join us for Ladies' Night...Would you like to win a goodies bag with a paperback copy of Mary Andrew's Ladie's Night with some other goodies?

Synopsis:

Grace is a lifestyle blogger and with her blog Gracenotes.  Her husband Ben keeps track of the advertising, and her assistant J’aimee does the rest.  One night Grace stumbles upon Ben and J’aimee in a compromising position and promptly loses her composure.  So much so in fact that Ben’s prized position, his car is in the bottom of the pool.  Grace decides to leave throws a few things into a suitcase and goes to her mom’s house.  Once at her mom’s she finds out that Ben is seeking a divorce.  She consults with an attorney and winds up in divorce therapy.  All is not as it seems with her therapist or the judge.  Will Grace be able to start over?

My Thoughts:

Another great read from Mary Kay Andrews.   I learned something about blogging from her character Grace.  I love when a novel gives you an idea for either trying something new or growth in something you have already started such as blogging (for me).  I enjoyed this novel!  I had an idea of what this story might look like from the title.  I was very interested to see how the story would progress.  I am left with a few questions for me on some characters like what is going with Paula the therapist of the divorce support group?  What is behind Stackpole’s decision to send the ladies to see Paula?    When is Ben the antagonist in this book going to get what he deserves?  In fact I flipped pages ahead for a sneak peak to find out what happens.

Ratings:

4.75/5

    I love your novels Mary Kay Andrews! I can't wait to read this one, winner or not!

    For my ladies night, my friends and I would go casual. We'd have an amazing dinner and dessert at an exquisite and probably expensive restaurant (some form of rich lobster, an ENORMOUS shrimp cocktail and the richest chocolate cake for me!) with tons of laughter and sparkling conversation, and then a great movie (with popcorn, of course) with handsome men who get half naked!
    That's my ideal ladies night - good food, great conversation, yummy eye candy!

    Ladies night is usually a couple times a year. We usually go somewhere that we can sit outside and eat, and end of talking and laughing for hours (or until the server stops refilling our sweet tea)

    I currently have a blog that is oddly enough about books. I write about the books I read.

    I would love a chance to read this book. It sounds really really good.

    If I had a blog, it would be about the reading (book reviews) and raising children to be confident and well-adjusted (I have 4 of my own).

    I suppose my blog would consist mostly of reviews of all the media I consume: books, music, TV, and movies.

    My blog would probably be about finds at garage sales and secondhand stores(etc) in and around town. My friends and I love to go "picking" together and alone and love telling each other of our adventures and finds!

    If I had a blog it would have to be a potpourri. I am interested in many things and I would go off on tangents all the time!! :)

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa fro...

The Importance of Complex Characters By Jacqueline Friedland

Photo by Rebecca Weiss A couple of years ago, there was a debate in the literary world about “likeable” characters.   The question, essentially, boiled down to this: must a character be unpleasant, whether angry or aggressive, selfish, or all gloom-and-doom in order to be taken seriously as a literary character?   When the debate arose, the focus was primarily on female characters— if a female protagonist has too many redeemable qualities as a person, does this detract from her substance as a character in a story?   This query nagged at me and took on a new shape during my writing Trouble the Water , as I watched my two main protagonists undergo journeys of personal growth that left them both decidedly more pleasant than the people they were when the story began.   The question I needed to answer was whether depth and meaning are negated by personal recoveries? My own take, as a reader, is that if I am going to spend hours reading a novel, hanging out with cha...
