Pop Babylon by Imogen Edwards-Jones and Anonymous

Imogen once again has transported us into a world of fiction where all the stories are true. This time the scene is set in the music industry. Be prepared for all the undercover gossip from the multi-billion pound industry, but who exactly is making all the money? Simon Cowell? Or are others getting a decent slice of the pie? Imogen invents a boy band as this book's way of revealing the industry secrets, as we follow a year in the life of the band we find out more and more about the industry so many want to break into. Shocking, riveting and a true guilty pleasure. My only problem with this book is that it leaves you wanting more, more, more!!!

Shopaholic and Sister by Sophie Kinsella

Becky is back for another hilarious ride, this time with her long lost sister. After returning from her perfect honeymoon her reception is less than what she expected from her parents. Why oh why? Well, while she was on holiday not only has a long lost sister come onto the scene her best friend Suze has had twins and has a whole new set of priorities. Poor Becky discovers her sister hates shopping and to top it off wants to help her with her horrific spending habits!

With her marriage already suffering and no one to turn to Becky decides to recruit the reluctant help of her sister.



Another hilarious read, although many of the reviews I have read have said this one is their least favourite of the Shopaholic series so far, I have to say I thought it was up to scratch.
