I want a cake pull too!

I've just finished indulging myself in Wedding Fever and I must say, "I love weddings. Not marriages, but weddings."
I mean, what you get from weddings is a loving, charming husband who will love you no matter the consequences. But the ceremony and sparkly décor to your bridal bouquet and that expensive gorgeous white gown you'd wear when you walk down the aisle, is no doubt a bonus. I think people should be allowed to get married more than once. They could celebrate their anniversary by organizing a "wedding-themed" party. I'd do that!
At the end of the novel, Nic discovers fantastic news; she's pregnant. Many thanks to the baby carriage charm she pulled out. Seema and Scott are dating, thanks to the shovel she pulled which symbolises nurturing and care of their long term friendship, and not forgetting hard work. They love each other and from the part when she kissed him at Nic's wedding, I was furiously screaming "ARE YOU BLIND? SHE IS IN LOVE WITH YOUUU!". Though Scott couldn't hear me, but at least Seema got the happy ending she wanted. And lastly, Mel. She finds herself in the arms of Danny, a hot Japanese-American who loves her and appreciates her, unlike Fred, her stupid cheating arse of a boyfriend. And I'm guessing Mel gets hot wild sex every night with Danny, many many thanks to the red hot chilli pepper she pulled.
The end of the book promises a sequel when they have another bridal shower, to whom, I can't say, which features the amazing cake pull! Mel wants the passport. Seema wants the engagement ring and Nic want the photo frame that promises a happy family.
The book ends by Mel asking, "Hey, do you think we could trade?".

OMG! It's Wedding Fever!

It's been a while, hasn't it? Well, upon finishing Pick Me Up, I bought Marian Keyes's Anybody Out There and Kim Gruenenfelder's Wedding Fever! (Well, it's called There's Cake In My Future in US)
Hmmm. I've decided to start reading Wedding Fever first. I'm in the mood for weddings and bride fits!
So, the story revolves around 3 friend; Nicole, Seema and Melissa. Nicole decides to have a cake pull for her bridal shower, so she's hidden different charms inside the cake. According to plan, Nic will receive the shovel for hard work, Seema will get the red hot chilli pepper for wild hot sex with Scott (her best friend/crush since for ever) and Mel will get the engagement ring as a lucky charm for her 6 year boyfriend, Fred to propose to her.
But everything's messed up and the respective charms are pulled by other people.
Nic gets the baby carriage!
Seema gets the shovel!
Mel gets the red hot chilli pepper!
Soon, the fate of other guests start changing. Can't they wonder if the cake's magically onto something?

Pick Me Up, would you?

Hello, it's been a while since I've updated my dear blog. Yes, I've been extremely busy with school and I haven't got around buying any new books. Pathetic, huh? Come to think of it. I really have to focus on my studies. But what the hell, right? Why stop doing something you love the most?
Oh, yeah. Mimi Shopaholic is out in paperback. And not that I feel sad or anything. (Though the cover for both editions are gorgeous). The US version is really fab! With Becky and Minnie striding down the street with carrier bags and all. The UK one is something similar to the original one. Minus the snow and wool clothing. It's summertime and they are in gorgeous summer wear!

What The Hell!

Well, it's been a while since I've updated my blog. So, to kick things off, I have finished Shopaholic Ties The Knot for the 3rd time and I still love it!
I managed to finish it in 3 days thought it's not much of an achievement, but what the hell? A week after being in Bloomwood world, I bought The Last Letter From Your Lover by Jojo Moyes. Seriously, Sophie Kinsella has good taste in books, as do I :)

It's about adultery in the modern world and also the past. There's Jenny Stirling who is married to a rich and successful mine owner, Laurence. Then there's Ellie who has a relationship with a married man. On the other side, Jenny had an accident and has amnesia (Remember Me?) and she hasn't got a clue who her "lover" is. The only hint in his letters to her is signed by B.
B?
There's Bill.
There's Bear.
But the real lover of hers is Boot. Though it's not his real name, which is Anthony.
And Laurence tried to convince her the affair never was, but it's love lost and found for us.
