Reading Update
I started reading The Kitchen Witch by Annette Blair, but I didn't get very far. The heroine is a lousy cook--cooking disaster wouldn't be an understatement from what I've read so far--but the hero gets her an interview to do a TV cooking show. Since the book is called The Kitchen Witch, it's safe to assume she will get the job.
Sorry, but I don't find this kind of scenario particularly funny or even interesting to read about, for that matter. I've never been amused by the woman-fumbles-around-in-a-job-she's-not-qualified-for scenario. I'm not ready for another fumbling story; Linda Francis Lee's Suddenly Sexy was enough for me. So The Kitchen Witch is going back on the to-be-read shelf.
Instead, I'm reading Meggin Cabot's The Boy Next Door. It's a prequel of sorts to Boy Meets Girl--both take place at the New York Journal and share some secondary characters--and it's written in much the same style. I'm enjoying it so far.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. All of my immediate family live in the area, and we are meeting at my parents' house. If I don't get online tomorrow, happy Thanksgiving!

I had wondered whether to get The Kitchen Witch or not because I had it in the head [don't ask why] that it's something similar to Alice Hoffman's Practical Magic [I love both versions, book and film]. I suppose not. :) Thanks. :D
Hope you've had a good Thanksgiving. :)
My Thanksgiving was nice, thanks! I haven't read Practical Magic, but I wouldn't recommend The Kitchen Witch. Perhaps I'll like it better when I get around to picking it up again, but I don't see that happening for a long, long time.
