January Book Review Club: Prada & Prejudice

Yay, 2010! Doesn’t feel amazing to begin a new year? I feel refreshed, refocused, and renewed.

The first Wednesday of the month means another edition of The Book Review Club hosted by Barrie Summy, author of the I So Don’t Do Mysteries series. Today, I’m featuring the fabulousMandy Hubbard’s Prada & Prejudice. Mandy is amazing and so is her debut.

Here’s a quick synopsis – During a school trip to England, Callie straps on her brand new Prada heels (attempting to impress the popular girls), trips, and is transformed to Nineteenth Century England.

Five Reasons Why I Enjoyed Prada & Prejudice:

1. Loved spunky, clumsy, Callie
2. Energetic and fast-paced
3. Unique time-travel adventure
4. Sweet and fun romance
5. Hubbard kept me guessing

Prada & Prejudice was a blast and exactly the escape I needed to end the holiday season.

Happy Wednesday!

Disclosure: I often receive ARCs and/or books for reviews (most of the time due to my Chick Lit column for South Jersey Mom magazine and sometimes because I’m an author and other times because I beg). However, I do not blog about every book I receive, only the ones I absolutely adore or feel the need to recommend to fans of sporty lit.

There’s nothing quite like the smell, feel, and look of a new book.

Last Friday, I visited the local bookstore with a two-book list. After I spent an amazing hour and a half roaming, I tossed the list and left with six. And these three goodies are on the top of my TBR pile and highly recommended by my writing buds…

What books are you reading and/or purchasing lately?

Happy Wednesday!
