Book Worm, review time

One of my favorite authors is Sophie Kinsella. She is the author of the shopaholic series and a whole lot of other great books. She has a brand new book out that I can't wait to read called Twenties Girl. She was recently named Glamour's Author of the Year. I just discovered that before writing as Sophie Kinsella, she wrote several books under her real name Madeleine Wickham. I checked out a couple from the library. This is the first one that I read.
It was a cute, chick lit book and not at all risque like the title might lead you to believe. I can't wait to read the other books that she has written under this name.
I just finished this little gem of a book by Kristin Chenoweth.
This book was so cute, charming and funny! I loved reading all about her life, especially since she is from my home state. She makes a lot of references to growing up here and the South in general. She was at a Border's in my city recently. I had no idea she was going to be there. Chesley just happened to be there by chance and got to see her. I'm so jealous.

    I really enjoyed the Shopaholic movie, is the book anything like it?

    I loved Kristin Chenoweth in Four Christmases, I didn't know she wrote a book!

    I will have to check out this book! I love Sophie and her books she writes as Madeleine. I loved Cocktails for Three and Gatecrasher under her pen name.

    I loved Sleeping Arrangements (and all of her books)... Twenties Girl is sitting on my night stand right now, just begging to be read. I just finished Jane Green's Dune Road- another good read/new release!
