It’s just about that time of year again. You know, when you can curl up by the fire with a blanket and read the latest offering from your favorite author. Or if you live in Southern California like Liz does, it might just be more like a tank top and a light throw. But still, you get the point. There’s no better way to spend a lazy Sunday than with a great book.
Which is exactly why we’re so excited to have Sally Koslow revealing her bucket list. As the former Editor in Chief at both McCalls and Lifetime, we loved her fictional take on the magazine publishing world in her debut, Little Pink Slips. (Which was reportedly about her experience working with Rosie O’Donnell! Juicy stuff!) So when Sally’s latest, With Friends Like These, arrived at our doorstep, we were looking forward to losing ourselves in Sally’s smart and sassy narrative.
With Friends Like These follows four friends who meet in the early nineties and become fast friends, despite the fact that they have little in common. A decade later, their bonds are still strong but they are each struggling with their own issues and discover that sometimes the right decisions are the hardest to make, especially when it comes to old friends and loyalties. With Friends Like These is a fun and sassy read that may also hit an emotional bull’s eye for anyone that’s ever been less than a perfect friend.
Sound interesting? Well, you’re in luck because we have FIVE copies to give away. All you have to do is leave a comment and you’re entered! We’ll choose the winners on Thursday evening.
So, without further adieu, read on to discover what things the lovely and talented Sally Koslow is dying to do. (pun intended…)
CHICK LIT IS NOT DEAD PRESENTS: WHAT’S ON SALLY KOSLOW’S BUCKET LIST?
1. Put all my pictures, including the ones languishing in my computer, into leather albums so my epitaph can be “Please let me read one more page” instead of “She never archived her 3000 photos.”
2. Get to the 937 novels I haven’t read in my well-thumbed 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die.
3. Road trip! Bad Sally has let her license become ossified. After I’ve conquered my fear of driving, I’ll take a cross-country drive whose centerpiece will be the Grand Canyon.
4. Write a rom-com screenplay.
5. Vacation together with my husband, sons and their gorgeous ladies in Italy. Or the south of France. Not picky as long as there’s sunshine, wine and excellent grub.
Thanks so much Sally! xo, L&L

Sally,
You’ll love the Grand Canyon. I’ve been twice – once as a child and once with my then-boyfriend, now husband, when I was 21. I’m going back next summer with my three kids.
As for Italy, that’s on my bucket list, too.
Your Molly book was one of my favorite’s last year! Can’t wait to read your new one.
P.S. I would def. watch a rom com movie you wrote. Just wish rom coms could star more than the same 3 girls. ugh.
Would love to read this!

Books sounds like a lot of fun and serious all at the same time, right up my alley, can’t wait to read it…. I am heading to AZ next week on vacation and plan on driving to the Grand Canyon while I am there.
I so need to get my pictures in albums too. I have two boxes filled with snapshots . My kids are in their 20s and I have baby pictures in boxes!

I’m with the author on putting pictures in albums – this was the reason I put off getting a digital camera for as long as I did… I knew I’d never print the pictures I took. And I was right. The book sounds interesting and easy to relate to!
Amy- so true!
Sounds like a great book! Loved Little Pink Slips! Would love the chance to win it! I am also soooo bad with getting the pictures stored on my computer printed and into an actual album! That’s the only thing I don’t like about digital cameras!
She sounds like someone I would love to hang around with…so funny! Please enter me, thanks.
Can’t wait to read this book! Sounds so great. Loved the bucket list!
Sounds really good! Hope I win!
One of my bucket items is to just go to Europe. Anywhere in Europe, but Italy is one of my top picks! I would love to read her book, she’s going on my to-read list!
Sounds just like a book I would so enjoy. Unfortunately I cannot buy any books this fall, because I got in trouble for my summer marathon reading, but husband has not said anything about winning them!
Ooh, sounds interesting … this & Little Pink Slips are now both on my ever-growing list. I can’t read fast enough with all your great recommendations these days, ladies! Thanks a bunch!! xox
HA! I totally want my epitaph to read “Please let me read one more page”. Probably instead of “And even yet there is a forgot load of laundry”.
Sounds like a fabulous read.
haha,,,,will we EVER get our pictures archived?? God, I sure hope so. I have bought the little boxes that you put them in and mark the year they were taken. That was 2 years ago! My son is now 17 and only the pictures of him up to age 4 are in cute little books! arrrhhhhggggg! The new book sounds wonderful and I would love to win it!!! :)
I love girlfriend books.
Can’t wait to read this!
Looks like a great read! Please count me in :)
Have never heard of this author or the book and so I would love to win a copy.
Thanks for the opportunity!! sounds great!!
Sounds like a fun read! I have a group of dear friends and we travel together and add things to our bucket list daily! Next trip weekend in Kennebunkport rented the sweetest house. Can’t wait!
Another book to add to my Virtual List – I stumbled upon your site when you featured Jen Lancaster, and check back regularly to bulk up my reading list.
Plus, the To-Do list sounds hauntingly familiar – we need more hours in a day!
Thanks for the chance to win:)
