As per the book blurb: When Clara Bishop, a struggling screenwriter-turned-tabloid journalist in Hollywood, is jilted by her philandering husband, she follows him to London, determined to win him back. Armed with only a glamorous wardrobe of vintage clothing inherited from her grandmother, a former film noir actress, Clara discovers that the clothes really do make the woman. Dressed to kill, she adopts a new femme fatale persona: confident, sexy and set on revenge. This was a different sort of book that required a suspension […]
Never Doubt Rainbow Rowell…OR Scootsa1000!
First, you should probably go read Scootsa1000’s review here…because her review made me want to read the book–and what if I don’t do as good of a job? Then you’ll be missing out on a great book recommended by Rainbow Rowel AND Scootsa1000! I don’t want that on my conscience. Ok. I’ll start here. I loved this book.

You Will Know Me The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie
Nothing from the past can make me anything less than whoever it is I wish to be.
The new Kelly Bowen book is here! I’m such a Bowen fangirl! This is the third book in the Season for Scandal series, and it was worth the wait. Ms Bowen writes some of the best historical romance I’ve read in a long time. I’ve read all of her books now, and they’re all well written with characters that I enjoy. And of course, my romance loving soul is warmed by the way she is able to meld the sizzle of the attraction with the […]
Note to self: Never question Rainbow Rowell.
Last week on Instagram, Rainbow Rowell posted a photo of a book she had just finished and recommended. The cover of the book looked a bit ‘twee’ to me, and I filed it away in the back of my mind, a book for a rainy day. I went and I judged a book by its cover, instead of listening to the all-powerful words of Queen Rainbow. I’m sorry. I’ve learned my lesson. The next day, I saw it randomly, unshelved, just sitting there at the […]
