Paige Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I agree anisia! Can You Keep A Secret? is fantastic! I've read it a good few times now and it always makes me giggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I finished Shopaholic and Sister. The review is here. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I read it quickly and even though I wasn't convinced by the story line I did enjoy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I finished Remember Me yesterday. Pretty good story - I liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rach.at.the.disco Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I love Sophie Kinsella. I still haven't got "Can You Keep A Secret" and I only got a bit into "The Undomestic Goddess" then gave up because I wasn't as into it as I was with the others. "Remember Me" was fab though - I finished within a day though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1nS Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Her shopaholic ones go in order: The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic Shopaholic Abroad Shopaholic Ties the Knot Shopaholic and Sister Shopaholic and Baby I'm not sure about any of her others being in order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexi Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I'm not sure about any of her others being in order it doesn't really matter, because there are different characters in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1nS Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 it doesn't really matter, because there are different characters in them I was meaning her other books...

bethany725 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Madeleine Whickham the swimming pool one. Its the only one i have read and i thought it was rubbish. oh I liked that one:blush: Started reading this today and am about 1/3 through it.. I'm really liking it so far! Anyone else read "Swimming Pool Sunday" ? This is the 3rd book I'll have read from Wickham -- "The Gatecrasher, "Cocktails for Three," and now "Swimming Pool Sunday." Have liked them all so far. Very different from the Kinsella line! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I've had an email from Random House about Sophie's new book - thought I'd share it with those of you who aren't signed up for Random House news! I read the Shopaholic series but have gone off this genre, but this sounds interesting... Hi everyone! I have some news! My new book called TWENTIES GIRL is coming on July 21st. It's about twenty-something Lara Lington, who gets an unlikely visit from none other than her great aunt Sadie's ghost! Sadie is a feisty, 1920s girl with firm ideas on fashion, love and the right way to dance... and she has a mission for Lara: track down her missing necklace. Lara and Sadie make a hilarious, sparring duo, and at first it seems as though they have nothing in common. But as the mission turns to intrigue and then romance, perhaps they can learn some surprising lessons from each other. It's a fun, sparkly book, with two great new heroines, and I really hope you enjoy it. http://info.randomhouse.com/cgi-bin21/DM/y/e7oC0Lp4nX0Dor0BkXt0Eq Best wishes and happy reading! Sophie p.s.

SweetiiPie85 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Sophe Kinsella is one of my favourite authors. I have just finished reading Remember Me? which I couldn't put down it was brilliant . I can't wait for Twenties Girl to hit the shops and I sure it will be another fantastic read. :readingtwo:I am currently reading The Undomestic Goddess which I have read many times and is one of my favourites.

Purple Princess Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 (edited) I really like Sophie Kinsella too. This sounds like another good one from her! Thanks for the info Janet PS just tried to enter for an early copy but it's only open to US residents Edited June 4, 2009 by Purple Princess Added a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I'm really looking forward to Twenties Girl as well. I prefer her stand-alone books to the Shopaholic series, and this one sounds like great fun. The UK publisher hasn't announced any give-aways or competitions that I can see for an advanced copy, but according to Waterstone's it should be available on 16/7/09. Unfortunately, that will be the hardback version, and not sure when the paperback is due out, but with chick-lit, I think they're pretty quick at moving them to paperback, as they know that's where the main market is. I've reserved my copy at the library, but I'm already 4th on the list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bookworm44 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Janet, thanks so much for posting the info from Random House. Though I never have much luck at winning anything, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I win one of the early copies of Twenties Girl. I feel like I've been waiting for ever for this book to come out! I'm really looking forward to Twenties Girl as well. I prefer her stand-alone books to the Shopaholic series, and this one sounds like great fun. I to prefer her stand-alone books and can't wait for Twenties Girl to be released!

chesilbeach Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Just had an email to say the Twenties Girl is ready for me to collect at the library, so I'm hopefully looking forward to reading it this weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Princess Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I'm about a third of the way through Twenties Girl and it's just starting to get good, although I have to admit that as of yet I'm not liking this one as much as some of her others but I'll try not to judge it until the end.

Purple Princess Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Have finished Twenties Girl and I throughly enjoyed it! The characters grew on me as I got further through the book and although it is a bit far fetched I still really like her style of writing and it was just so easy to read. Hope you're enjoying it chesilbeach! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetiiPie85 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I still haven't read Twenties Girl - I think I will have to make a visit to the bookshop soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Hope you're enjoying it chesilbeach! Thanks, but I haven't had much reading time this weekend after all, and I've been gripped by another book (American Wife by Curtis Sittenfeld), so I haven't had chance to start it yet. Looks like it'll probably be next weekend before I get to it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
