Books I'm reading

Well, I'm new at this and clearly don't know what I'm doing. But I'll try this again. I just finished 'Multiple Choice' by Claire Cook. I also recently read 'Life's a Beach' by Claire Cook. I'm kind of hooked on her right now. She is light reading, but she is funny and I love the characters she writes about. There is a warmth to her writing that I like. I give 'Life's A Beach" an A+ and 'Multiple Choice an A-.
