So here is my advice: Don't take this in hand hoping to find the usual laugh out loud chick lit. There is this occasional humour, but that is far from the type we find in 'Shopaholic Novels', or 'Can You Keep a Secret?'. In this regard, this is more of a Madeleine Wickham novel. Kinsella's usual heroines make even the most heart-wrenching situations laughable. It is the way of presentation that matters. But that is not something I hold against any novel most chick-lit revolve around this theme. with Kinsella, we expect something much more. This novel is nowhere near to her usual read. Sophie Kinsella is so far the best chick-lit author I have ever come across and I really didn't want anything to change that impression. I was dreading to read this particular one, partly due to the not so positive reviews I have read. There is also a hard decision that highlights the enormity of his struggle in this book that is put off as a possibility for later which is nicely handled. Yes, I can see sci-fic lovers being more open to the possibilities of strange things in the world. So nice that the outcome of sharing the secret is a somewhat positive one compared to the previous story. This is somewhat of a quest story, which is fun too. The friendship between the two girls is beautiful and their compassion grows to include both girls' boyfriends in the circle. This one splits it's time between following up with Rachel and Rider's story and the happy yet sad outcome of the accident and Paige and her boyfriend.

If only she’d had a handbook for the struggling actor. And with so many obstacles to navigate, it wasn’t always easy to fight off discouragement. The path to professional acting was more competitive than she’d ever imagined. It would be eight long years before she landed her Emmy-nominated role of Pam Beesley on The Office-nearly a decade of failure, struggle, rejection, and doubt. She was determined, she was confident, she was ready to work hard. Never mind that she didn’t know a single person in the entertainment industry. With a theater degree in hand, she was certain everything would fall easily into place. Jenna Fischer’s Hollywood journey began at the age of 22 when she moved to Los Angeles from her hometown of St. I hope it is given out as a guidebook of sorts to any young actor when they land at LAX.” -Jon Hamm “I loved reading Jenna’s honest and sincere appraisal of the actualities of breaking into, finding one’s way, and then thriving in this business.

Cryoburn still has plenty of the old magic. Well, if Miles Vorkosigan novels used to tick all your boxes, then don’t worry. It’s always a bit tricky when an author revisits a really successful and popular world years after establishing it… Do you, as an avid fan, rush out to get the new book and run the risk of being significantly disappointed? Indeed, if the latest offering is dire enough, it can even smirch your previous enjoyment of this wonderful world. There is very little tension and even the characters don’t seem to take their conflicts seriously. The antagonist is the most entertaining part of the story, his identity is obvious right off the bat but he adds a bit of humor to a story with mostly flat characters. also teams up with his two goofy friends to track a real vampire who’s infiltrated the school. Trying to avoid being killed by Nia over a unfortunate miscommunication, A.J. The kid, A.J., decides to model himself after an angsty vampire bad-boy to win his dream girl Nia’s affections, but it turns out what he interprets to be a vampire fandom is way off- Nia is actually a vampire hunter who keeps tabs on bloodsuckers in order to kill them. Fake Blood is a inoffensive but forgettable graphic novel for middle graders, about a little boy who has a crush on his classmate but doesn’t feel she knows he exists. I didn’t have particularly high expectations for this book, but I thought the premise sounded cute and that it might be a nice quick read.

Pepperland is about missing information, missing people, missing guitars, paranoia, Q & A, brothers, revolution, Agents of the Federal Government, IBM, Hugh Hefner, a Dark Stranger, love, death and the search for it amidst the wreckage of recession-wracked, entropically rundown mid-seventies America. Pepperland is a ‘70s rock and roll race through the heartland of America-a love letter to the power of new-fangled computers and the importance of a guitar pick. She asks him-do you want to play your little rock ‘n’ roll songs or change the world? He says-both. Think the Ramones meet Jane Fonda meets Bill Gates-a love story-where one woman has all the power.
