“The Mischief of the Mistletoe”

Finally got lucky and received the book after waiting for it for two months.

“The Mischief of the Mistletoe: A Pink Carnation Christmas” by Lauren Willig is the first one of the In-Between-the-books in the Pink Carnation series. The time line is between “The Temptation of the Night Jasmine” and “The Betrayal of the Blood Lily”. The female character is a Miss Arabella, a common shy wallflower, the hero is the unlikely Turnip Fitzhugh and Miss Jane Austen makes an honorary appearance. Ready to be amused and enjoy the simple funny twists of this little novel.

Ooh, and have a Christmas pudding by hand, you may need it!

Mini Shopaholic

Contrary to the previous two books of the series-“Shopaholic and Sister” and “Shopaholic and Baby”- this latest of Sophie Kinsella’s books, “Mini Shopaholic”; is looking up. It has all the funny laugh aloud humor of the early books of the series. It is light hearted and Becky Brandon (Bloomwood) is as crazy imaginative and lovable as ever. She and Luck are still living with her parents, their daughter Minnie is two and already showing a passion for shopping, high brands and glamour.

If you are feeling down, pick up this book and forget the world!
