Book 50/50 - This book is aimed mostly at corporate type businesswomen.  So, I was able to imagine my former self in many of the situations, but didn't find it too applicable to my current situation.  Some of her advice and anecdotes come off somewhat snobby, but I'd still recommend it.

Book 47/50 - An easy read of a novel about business, culture, deceit, love, and food in the south of France. Apparently it's a sequel, so I plan on going back to read the original novel. Philippe Labro, Wine Collection, Online Library, Romp, So Little Time, Large Prints, Provence

Book 48/50 - I like this style of book, where people basically talk about how they're not perfect and that it's ok if you aren't either.  Some of the anonymous confessions were hilarious and some were heart breaking. Date, Pregnant Child, Mommy Book, Lauren Weisberger, Scary Mommy, Bookbub, Thing 1, Lectures, Cursed Child Book

Book 45/50 - Eh. This was kind of awful. Way too fluffy and unsubstantial for my taste. This is the only novel by Evanovich I've read, so I'm not sure if this is her style or just a fluke. Favorite Movies, Favorite Things, Favorite Places

Book 41/50 - I LOVED this and was bummed when I finished.  Basically, this woman is new to her city and goes on a "friend date" once per week for a year.  I could totally relate to her situation and have looked into many of the websites and organizations that she used.  I'm definitely inspired to go out there and meet some people!
