Coming Week of February 13

Sophie Kinsella has a new book out that is not related to her Shopaholic novels. I know many people love these books, and I always wanted to read the series but was overwhelmed by how many of them there are. Considering this is not part of the series, its a good opportunity for me to get to read one of the authors books without investing myself into a large series.


I've Got Your Number is about a women whose new life it about to start. She is happily marrying her dream man Magnus, and his parents are coming to visit. The perfect day starts to go terribly wrong when in the middle of a fire drill at the hotel Poppy looses her engagement ring, and her phone is stolen. The worst part is that it has been in her fiance;s family for three generations. She thinks her bad luck could be improving when she finds a phone in a trash can. At least now she can leave the number with hotel security in case they find her ring.

The person who doesn't find this lucky is the phone's owner, Sam Roxton, who just wants his phone back and is not happy that Poppy is reading his messages and delving into his personal life. The two develop a relationship through text messages and between her unknown feelings for Sam and a scheming wedding planner, Poppy's wedding plans start to come apart. Critics call this book a funny romance that fans of the Shopaholic series will not be disappointed to read.





I don't know if it's just me, but it seems that James Patterson releases a lot of novels. His next one is focused around the upcoming 2012 Olympic Games in London. An investigation firm called Private, is hired to protect the 10,000 competitors at the games. They are the most advanced and technological firm in the world and have sent 400 agents for a large task. Just before the opening ceremonies, Peter Knight, one of the agents, is called to the scene of a murder. A high ranking employee of the organization committee has been killed .

Karen Pope, a newspaper reporter receives a letter from someone who calls himself the Cronus. He takes claim to the murder and says he can restore the Olympics to their former glory, if all those who have corrupted it by lies and corruption are dead. Karen and Peter are up against a ruthless killer who will stop at nothing to destroy the games. This book by James Patterson sounds like a great thriller to read before you watch the games for yourself this summer.
