It is usually very difficult for me to start a new book, especially when I am missing my last
book and its characters. This book, The Spinster Sisters, starts in such a clever way; I just
had to see what was next.
The characters in The Spinster Sisters are so well developed we can only wonder which family members
and friends in Stacey’s life provided the inspiration for each of them. And don't think this is a man
hater book or based on the use of the word Spinster in the title as it is anything but that.
Stacey is just as smart, creative and witty in person as she writes. While this is women's literature,
you should definitely make sure you take it all in because like a good movie you will uncover clever
details you missed the first time through. So, the first thing I did when I finished the book was to
go back to the start of the book and read the first few pages again where I did pick up some details
and enjoyed a laugh or two.
Spinster Sisters was a quick read that I was sorry to see it end. Once you get a chance to live in
the Spingold Sister’s shoes they feel like friends, I am definitely part of the Spinster Sisterhood.

After reading Room For Improvement, I fell in love with the main character, Lilly Allen, and
I couldn’t wait to read Stacey's newest book, Spinster Sisters. Her characters always seem so
real and I begin to care about them just a few pages into the book. And while Stacey's quick, sharp dialog
really moves the story, it's the spirit of the two sisters and their supportive cast that keeps me
interested. I like to read how the sisters deal with change in their personal and business lives. These
sisters are not young and naive, so the story appeals to people with a few experiences under their belts.
The story is of two sisters, Jill and Jody Spingold, who work and live together in Chicago. The
characters are believable and their adventures are fun. The entrepreneur in me loves the storyline of
building an empire from a payday advance
. Believe me, THE DONALD would never fire these women. And my inner marketing child
loves the how the characters are introduced. It’s as clever as the sisters are. The sister/friend in me
loves the relationship story, and the food columnist in me loves the Thursday night rituals. The cynic
in me thinks Hunter is too good to be true, but I love thinking that it is possible.
Stacey knows her audience and gives us a fun read. This book isn't just brain candy. However, it IS
perfect to read as you lay in the porch swing and enjoy the sun this summer.
How did Stacey know my fantasy life?
How does one save a good deal on your favorite books or perhaps get books for free? The answer's : join a club. You can also get bestsellers for slightly less than what you'd pay in a store. Any bookworm could gain from the savings and selection that's afforded by club memberships. Here is how a club works : members are sent a book or maybe even a set each month. You may either select them yourself or the clubs themselves select them for you. If the clubs will select, you've got the option to return any of the titles that you do not need. Finally , only the ones that you need become added to your library. Dependent on your individual interests, you might join specialised clubs or general interest clubs.
Each club will be offering large savings and monthly cargos that are extremely convenient.
You can only commit to buy one book every 6 months so if you already buy this frequently then a club is the way to save cash. Other clubs will charge a fixed price irrespective of which titles you select. A lot of them are brand spanking new and in mint condition, hard bound, too. Great introductory deals are also being offered by these clubs. So you see, joining a book club is not just inexpensive ; it's also fun.
