The Debutante Divorcée

Filed under: Reading — sonyca @ 10:09 am

I’m reading The Debutante Divorcée by Plum Sykes at the moment. I liked Bergdorf Blondes, which is why I bought her second novel in New York, but I think it is really boring. I’ve struggled through the first 11 chapters and I can’t say that I am looking forward to reading the remaining 14 chapters.

Does it get better in the second half?

Books I’ve Read from October 22 - December 28

Filed under: Reading — sonyca @ 10:07 pm

The Undomestic Goddess, Sophie Kinsella; very funny, I loved it - it’s much better, in fact, than any of the Shopaholic novels, I think

Mondscheintarif, Ildikó von Kürthy

Quentins, Maeve Binchy; this has to be the best book I read this year - truly amazing

Jane Fairfax, Joan Aiken; I was skeptical at first, but then I liked it a lot

Speculative HP7 Release Date: 07-07-07

Filed under: Reading — sonyca @ 9:29 pm

According to HPANA. And it should be, there are more than enough reasons for this date.

Also, July 7 is only 7 days after my birthday, and HP7 would be a present I’d love to give to myself.

Disappointing Read

Just finished Living Single by Holly Chamberlin. Very diappointing.

Did anyone else read it? If so, what did you think about it?

There it is, my next Marian Keyes fix: I found Angels in the public library this morning. I went there for Ibiza travel guides because I’ll be going there for a week in October. You have no idea how much I am looking forward to this week, I really need a holiday …

Read Rachel’s Holiday over the weekend. Loved it.
