Queen Of Babble

By: Meg Cabot

Fresh out of the Univ. of Michigan with a B.A. in history of fashion, Lizzie Nichols sets off across the pond to spend the summer with British boyfriend Andrew, whom she barely knows. When Lizzie learns that Andrew isn't the man she imagined, she changes direction and heads for France, where her best friend Shari is working at Château Mirac in the Dordogne wine country. En route, she meets Jean-Luc de Villiers, a French-American hottie whose father owns the château, and who would be so easy to fall in love with if he weren't already taken. Lizzie discovers sixteenth-century wineries, kir royals and vintage Givenchy dresses stored in the attic, while matching wits with Jean-Luc's ambitious girlfriend. Although blunt dialogue about oral sex adds a titillating edge, the book is sweet to the core.

Memoirs are made of this

By: Swan Adamson

Very similar to "Devil Wears Prada". The writer is typical wicked and very hilarious novel brought me to the world of journalism, badly behaved girl who is funny and sometimes heroic. :)

She not only did fantastical work for her Sex column writer boss, she even made a name for herself by keeping the biggest secrets in journalism and revealing it at the most perfect timing.

But it took me too long to finish it, therefore this is one book I read while waiting for my doctor's appointment.

PD James – Unnatural Causes

A particularly gruesome murder starts a chain of events that leads to every character being brought under the spotlight in brutal detail. P. D. James dispassionately takes each character apart to show us their darkest thoughts and what drives them. She strikes a balance by making the characters full to the brim with emotions, desires and thoughts. She keeps us guessing at every turn as to the ‘who’. I dare anyone to state that they knew the ‘how’ before the author reveals it in her book. 

Salem Falls- Jodi Picoult

Jack St. Bride was once a beloved teacher and soccer coach at a girls' prep school - until a student's crush sparked a powder keg of accusation and robbed him of his career and reputation. Now, after a devastatingly public ordeal that left him with an eight-month jail sentence and no job, Jack resolves to pick up the pieces of his life. He takes a job washing dishes at Addie Peabody's diner and slowly starts to form a relationship with her in the quiet New England village of Salem Falls. But just when Jack thinks he has outrun his past, a quartet of teenage girls with a secret turn his world upside down once again, triggering a modern-day witch hunt in a town haunted by its own history…

There's Karma, love, life, what-if's in this book, which made me want to buy all Jodi Picoult books.

There's a reason why your life is a sudden downhill, you basically have to look back at what you may have done to others....

This book is pure Karma...
