Media Reviews
"Though Zigman's refusal to probe some of the deeper questions sometimes frustrates, her modern story of a woman on a baby quest is a worthy read, well told and funny."
-- Kirkus
"Zigman indulges tired female stereotypes....Ellen is undeniably likable, and she'd be fun to have drinks with. Unfortunately, her likability can't save her from becoming a caricature." -- Lori Leibovich
-- New York Times Book Review

Lucy Sullivan Is Getting Married
by Marian Keyes
What happens when a psychic tells Lucy that she'll be getting married within the year? Her roommates panic! What is going to happen to their blissful existence of eating take-out, drinking too much wine, bringing men home, and never vacuuming? Lucy reassures her friends that she's far too busy arguing with her mother and taking care of her irresponsible father to get married. And then there's the small matter of not even having a boyfriend. But then Lucy meets gorgeous, unreliable Gus. Could he be the future Mr. Lucy Sullivan? Or could it be handsome Chuck? Or Daniel, the world's biggest flirt? Or even cute Jed, the new guy at work? Maybe her friends have something to worry about after all....
The Thin Pink Line
by Lauren Baratz-Logsted
When she discovers that she is not really pregnant, although she has told everyone that she is, twenty-nine-year-old Jane Taylor decides to keep up the charade, especially since her boyfriend has proposed marriage and she is finally the center of attention, until she makes a life-changing discovery.
Asking for Trouble
by Elizabeth Young
Unmarried, thirty-year-old Sophy Metcalfe told a little white lie to soothe her nagging mother. The white lies name was "Dominic," the ideal boyfriend: charming, successful, the kind of prospective son-in-law that would make any mother proud. But now that Sophy's thin and beautiful sister, Belinda, is getting married, Dominic is going to have to make an appearance in the flesh -- which should be a pretty neat trick ... since the genuine article vanished from Sophy's life after a single, singularly unmemorable evening. So she resorts to a very drastic measure -- aka Josh Carmichael, the escort she hires at the very last minute, sight unseen. But the trouble with white lies is that they tend to multiply. The trouble with rugged, too-sexy, and independent Josh is ... well, that Sophy's actually beginning to like him! Even if they make it through the Wedding Day from Hell together -- with its new intrigues, old flames, and all-too-familiar faces -- there's the night that follows... and , of course, the morning after. And that could end up being the biggest trouble of all! A hip, witty, and freshly fantastic delight, Asking for Trouble is the most hilarious and knowing novel to make the scene since Bridget Jones first set pen to paper to record her most intimate innermost thoughts.
Shooting at Midnight
by Greg Rucka
A master storyteller comes of age in a suspense novel that shatters the rules of hard-boiled fiction. In his previous thrillers, Greg Rucka created the explosive world of professional bodyguard Atticus Kodiak. In "Shooting At Midnight," Rucka puts us in the shoes of Kodiak's friend and lover, Bridgett Logan. The result is an electrifying novel from a young writer who just keeps on getting better.
