Happy Saturday! Though this past week was incredibly busy, I did manage to finish Such a Fun Age — Reese’s Book Club’s first pick of 2020. After reading the synopsis, I was excited to dive into the book.
With great pleasure, I’m happy to announce that it did not disappoint!
Until about two month ago, I never considered joining a book club — let alone one of the celebrity book clubs. Sure, I love reading; but my TBR has always been out of control (it still is, by the way), and I felt like I didn’t need someone else telling me what to read.
When browsing the bookish hashtag on Instagram, I kept seeing people raving about their newest book club picks. Lo and behold, I started suffering from a serious case of FOMO.
Whoa! I cannot believe one twelfth of the year is already gone…and that it is time for another What I Read Last Month post. As many of you know, one of my #20for2020 is to read 75 books. I’m sad (and ashamed) to say that January was kind of a disaster as far as reading is concerned.
Hey, friends! Today’s post brings a very exciting giveaway! Confessions of a Shopaholic fans don’t need to be reminded of who Sophie Kinsella is, but if you’re not familiar with this author, let me share a bit about her and her book Remember Me?
Sophie Kinsella has sold over 40 million copies of her books in more than 60 countries, and she has been translated into over 40 languages. She first hit the UK bestseller lists in September 2000 with her first novel in the Shopaholic series – The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic (also published as Confessions of a Shopaholic). The book’s heroine, Becky Bloomwood – a fun and feisty financial journalist who loves shopping but is hopeless with money – captured the hearts of readers worldwide.
Sophie was born in London. She studied music at New College, Oxford, but after a year switched to Politics, Philosophy and Economics. She lives in the UK with her husband and family.
When twenty-eight-year-old Lexi Smart wakes up in a London hospital, she’s in for a big surprise. Her teeth are perfect, her body is toned, and her handbag is Vuitton. Having survived a car accident—in a Mercedes no less—Lexi has lost a big chunk of her memory, three years to be exact, and she’s about to find out just how much things have changed.
Somehow Lexi went from a twenty-five-year-old working girl to a corporate big shot with a sleek new loft, a personal assistant, a carb-free diet, and a set of glamorous new friends. And who is this gorgeous husband—who also happens to be a multimillionaire? With her mind still stuck three years in reverse, Lexi greets this brave new world determined to be the person she…well, seems to be. That is, until an adorably disheveled architect drops the biggest bombshell of all.
Suddenly Lexi is scrambling to catch her balance. Her new life, it turns out, comes complete with secrets, schemes, and intrigue. How on earth did all this happen? Will she ever remember? And what will happen when she does?
