Shopaholic to the Stars by Sophie Kinsella

Image
  Synopsis : Sophie Kinsella returns to her beloved Shopaholic series with Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood) newly arrived in Hollywood and starry-eyed. She and her two-year-old daughter, Minnie, have relocated to L.A. to join Becky’s husband, Luke, who is there to handle PR for famous actress Sage Seymour.  Becky can’t wait to start living the A-list lifestyle, complete with celebrity sightings, yoga retreats, and shopping trips to Rodeo Drive. But she really hopes to become a personal stylist—Sage’s personal stylist—if only Luke would set up an introduction. Then, unexpectedly, Becky is offered the chance to dress Sage’s archrival, and though things become a bit more complicated, it’s a dream come true! Red carpet premieres, velvet ropes, paparazzi clamoring for attention—suddenly Becky has everything she’s ever wanted This is what I say : Becky, Becky, Becky...I really quite dislike you in this title.  I think you are way over in your thinking and actions.  You are extremely self center

Shopaholic To The Rescue by Sophie Kinsella

Image
  Synopsis : Becky Bloomwood and a hilarious cast of beloved family and friends (plus one enemy!) set off in a van to find her missing father, last heard from in Las Vegas. Becky’s father Graham and her best friend’s husband, Tarquin, have disappeared from Los Angeles saying simply they have “something to take care of.” But Tarquin’s wife Suze who is Becky’s best friend, and Becky’s mother Jane, are convinced the two men are hiding something and are in danger—their imaginations run wild. They must track them down! Hijinks ensue as husband Luke drives Becky, daughter Minnie, Jane, Suze and other favorite Kinsella characters across country from LA to Las Vegas in search of the missing men. Becky feels deeply guilty about ignoring her father while he was in LA, in addition Becky feels her enemy Alicia is threatening her friendship with Suze. This is what I say : Shopaholic To The Rescue is book number 8 in the Shopaholic Series and no, it's not the final book although a lot of reade

I need to start reading again

 Yes I most certainly must I have not been reading  regularly as I did in years before For this, today is my confession to you For the past few months, I have been seduced by k-drama Yes, I am now very much a certified k-drama fan for almost a year Ask me about Crash Landing, Goblin, Flower of Evil, Hotel Del Luna And we can have long conversations on the plot, actors, actresses, and even IU's dresses in HDL. Ask me simple Korean like anyeong haseayo, sarang heo, bangasupninda and I can answer you But if you ask me about what I have read recently, I would have no answer for you Such is the dilemma I face now as I really want to pick up reading again But the look from Hyun Bin, Lee Joong Gi, Kim Soo Hyun is *sigh* Dont forget reality show like 2D1N, Salty Tour, Master in in House I love them too...Lee Seung Gi, Kim Jun Ho, Kim Jong Min They made me laugh and brought me to places in Korea That I would not have a chance to go (especially now) So how do I say good by to k-drama and  K-

The Fireman by Joe Hill

  Synopsis : The fireman is coming. Stay cool. No one knows exactly when it began or where it originated. A terrifying new plague is spreading like wildfire across the country, striking cities one by one: Boston, Detroit, Seattle. The doctors call it Draco Incendia Trychophyton. To everyone else it’s Dragonscale, a highly contagious, deadly spore that marks its hosts with beautiful black and gold marks across their bodies—before causing them to burst into flames. Millions are infected; blazes erupt everywhere. There is no antidote. No one is safe. Harper Grayson, a compassionate, dedicated nurse as pragmatic as Mary Poppins, treated hundreds of infected patients before her hospital burned to the ground. Now she’s discovered the telltale gold-flecked marks on her skin. When the outbreak first began, she and her husband, Jakob, had made a pact: they would take matters into their own hands if they became infected. To Jakob’s dismay, Harper wants to live—at least until the fetus she is car
