January Book Review Club: Prada & Prejudice
January 6th, 2010
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 fabulous Mandy 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:
- Loved spunky, clumsy, Callie
- Energetic and fast-paced
- Unique time-travel adventure
- Sweet and fun romance
- Hubbard kept me guessing
Prada & Prejudice was a blast and exactly the escape I needed to end the holiday season.
Check out the rest of the fabulous Book Club reviews here.
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.
