What is Anne Frey Reading?
Anne likes books that aren't afraid of drama--and
FUN! She seeks out
stories of fab ladies in the big city, bad boys who are down on their
luck, and tender hearts that never learn from their mistakes. She leads
Watermark's Chick Lit Book Club
every second Monday and
is Watermark's
unquestioned Queen of the Beach Read.
