Confessions of a shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella
I saw the movie and wanted to read the book so I went out and got this from the library. Some funny chick-lit is never wrong.
What is about, well the title says it all :)

The Secret Scripture by Sebastian Barry
When I found this one I had to get it because I loved his book The Long Long Way, that one was pure poetry.
Roseanne McNulty is near her 100th birthday. The Roscommon Mental Hospital -- her home for so many years of her life -- is on the point of closing. As the fateful hour approaches, Roseanne spends her time of talking to her psychiatrist of many years, Dr Grene. Taking her back to her youth in Sligo in the 30's
Red Seas under Red Skies by Scott Lynch.
Book 2 in a fantasy series about the thief Locke Lamora, he has now fled his home town and ventures out on new adventures while someone wants him back, dead or alive.

Ooh, The Secret Scripture sounds good! You have some good reads...enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteI like the Shopaholic books..I have yet to see the movie though!
ReplyDeleteMy next book from the library is going to be Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins I think.
Hi Missy,
ReplyDeleteI so hope it's good cos Barry is such a wonderful writer.
Mandi,
The movie was cute :) and it so made me wanna go shopping ;)
From what I read at the back the books seems to differ so it will be fun to read them
Secret Scripture is one I want to read. looks so good! I look forward to your review!
ReplyDeleteThe Secret Scripture sounds really good and I've not heard of it before. The Shopaholic books are great!
ReplyDeleteMarie, I do hope I will love it cos Barry sure can write. His word just flowed :)
ReplyDeleteDar, I didn't know he had a new book out so that was fun for me :) His Long Long Way is worth the read.
I am sure the shopaholic books will give me some good laughs :)
Great haul Blodeuedd!!
ReplyDeleteI really wanted to see the movie version of 'Confessions of A Shopaholic'. It should be out on DVD soon though...
I never go to the library. It's horrible, I know but I'm sooooooo bad at returning books. I'd have fines up the a**!
:) VFG
Thanks VFG,
ReplyDeleteOh I love the library, I still gte most of my books from there.
Check it out, it's fun, the clothes are great nad Dancy is a cutie.
I have a 60 cent fine at the moment, lol, nothing at all, but still...first one in like a decade
Hi Blodeuedd!
ReplyDeleteDon't just love a good day at the library?
I've been doing it more often, trying not to increase the to be read pile. At least if I get it from the library, I have to read it within the return time. lolol. I've been buying and hiding. Not good. Really.
Dottie :)
Hi Dottie,
ReplyDeleteI am afraid i fell in the lovely library trap, we can now re-borrow a book 5 times, not good since then I keep borrowing more and more, lol
But still there is nothing that finding a good book at the library
The Secret Scripture is very near the top of my tbr pile and I can't wait to read it! I've read lots of great reviews for A Long, Long Way too.
ReplyDeleteHi JoAnn,
ReplyDeleteIt does sound good, and do read A Long Long Way, that book was so lovely
I've been curious about Confessions since I saw the movie too! I hope you review it. :)
ReplyDeleteConfessions of A Shopoholic has always been one of those books I figured I'd read someday, but I just never got around to it. Enjoy your books.
ReplyDeleteThe Secret Scripture sounds good. Look forward to reading your review.
ReplyDeleteEva,
ReplyDeleteI certainly will :) And the movie made me so curious, especially when Finland was mentioned so much.
Chrissy,
It has been on my list for years..so of course it took the movie for me to get started :)
Susan,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by :)
I do hope it's good because he is such a great writer
OMG that's the Gentleman Bastard Series, what was the first one like, have you done a review you can point me to??
ReplyDeleteTeddyree,
ReplyDeleteSadly I think that my review of the first book is like 3 lines since it was back at my old blog and I didn't write reviews.
But I will review this one, it may take awhile cos it was huge.
The first book, not that fantasy in a way, very different. Not sure I liked it at times, but couldn't put it down. Refreshing
There's an award for you here!
ReplyDeleteThanks you Fleurfisher :D
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy the Shopaholic books. I haven't seen the movie, but I've read all the books and really enjoyed them. I've heard the movie is much different.
