After perusing ABA's Bookselling this Week I noticed that Collins' Gorgeously Green by Sophie Uliano seems to be dueling it out with HarperCollins' The Red Leather Diary by Lily Koppel for the most ink in the April monthlies and pushing aside most of the other competition.

Uliano's work is perfectly poised for the ladies mags with all the hoopla about going green and it being Earth Day and all on April 22nd. As for Koppel, the packaging is gorgeous, and the voyeuristic/snooping thrill of rifling through a discarded diary is showing its mass appeal in much the same way that led to the success of Griffin and Sabine.
