A fun summer read I audio booked this.Well...that's 16.5 hours of my life I can't get back.
This book, by Candace Bushnell, is the story of a girl with a passion for writing whom ventures out into the city getting away from her small hometown where her friends seem to be stuck at. The Carrie Diaries are written about Carrie Bradshaw, a young writer hoping to make it in the crazy city o...
There is no way not to like this YA novel. Ms. Bushnell understands relationships between teens, high school experiences and the heartache of losing a mother within a family too early. The whole family plays an important part in the novel too. Most of the book reflects the emotions of the girls, ...
This book changed my life. When I read this book in August I was the type of bookworm who appreciated any novel for what it was. I even enjoyed *cringe* young adult fiction. My taste has matured significantly over the last year and it was this book which pushed me to my limits and cracked the ...

Maybe it’s because of all the time I spent with Bernard, but I’m finally inspired. I know what I have to do: write a play. This brilliant notion lasts for about three seconds before it’s crushed under a million and one reasons why it’s impossible. Like Bernard will think I’m copying him. Like I w...

She was in the den. In Wallis. Her book about Lady Wallis was dead, and now the boathouse had blown up. Another great beginning to another fabulous day, she thought bitterly as she went into the kitchen. She filled the electric kettle and clicked it on. She opened the cabi...
