Diving into a relaxing, palate cleansing read

Started this book for June #BookClub. Borrowed it on #Libby. So far, once we got to the housekeeping part, it got better and in a better flow, even the romance has appeared.

The Undomestic Goddess is an all around laugh out loud, feel good read for those who need a little “pick me up” and a quick reminder that even when life goes left, it may still be going right.

From heartwarming moments to hysterical situations (and one steamy meetup), the Christmas Wish will quickly become one of your holiday romance favorites.

Honestly I have been falling in love with every book I read from Sophie Kinsella. This book is a genuine heart-tugger. #21 read a book that has been on your to read shelf for over a year

If I‘ve learned one lesson from all that‘s happened to me, it‘s that there is no such thing as the biggest mistake of your existence. There‘s no such thing as ruining your life. Life‘s a pretty resilient thing, it turns out.

Finsihed reading this in a day!
If you're looking for a quick, fun, light read; something to chill and relax with bunch of cocktails, this is a go to book for that! Can't believe this was not made in to a movie. This book gives you the feels of a #romcom.

⭐⭐⭐/5 : Funny, simple and enjoyable!

New addition!! 😇 : Books on Wheels!! ⚙📚

Currently reading ‘The Maze Runner‘ 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️ (completely hooked!!!)

I absolutely loved Undomestic goddess by sophie kinsella and also why mummy doesn‘t give a **** by Gill Simms - had me laughing out loud

“Just bloody keep cutting,” Newt ordered “I think I know where he is going with this.” Thomas was relieved someone was finally getting it.

It‘s officially my birth month & while I‘m usually excited for June to come around, it‘s kinda impossible right now. Other than my birthday, me, my girls, & my mom usually have at least one trip lined up, but not this year. The state of the world is weighing on me. 😔 I‘m going to curl up with Kinsella, a comfort author for me. It‘s also my first book for #readyoursign. I‘m very grateful that Litsy is always here when I need positivity in my life!

It‘s a wrap. Yay for a successful #stayhome24in48 #24in48

This was a cute book.

Wishing I could read instead of having so much work to do!

Not really enjoying this book sebab rasa macam slow gilak. But still worth reading since there‘s valuable input. The book teach us to make decision based on what make ourselves happy rather than being influenced by others. Yes, people listens to your rants. They stick with you if you‘re on top of the world. But they wont really give a damn if your ship is heading the wrong way and start sinking, no?

#Celebration makes me think of food, which made me think of Kinsella's novel because its title was influenced by Nigella Lawson's cookbook.

Picture shows German edition I intend to give to a friend this Yule. The title translates to Goddess in Wellingtons.

#MOvember @Cinfhen

I absolutely loved this book and didn't want it to end. Had me literally laughing out loud at times. A very witty, charming read.
Book 13/20 for #bfcr4

Started and got lost in the book do far this evening. A quarter of a way through it already. It's light hearted and funny and a refreshing change from the graphic books I've read recently ❤ Samantha is the complete opposite to me 😂

The best kind of Chick Lit there is- a hilarious story with a bunch of awkward moments as well as sexual tension.

It's #Hour18 on the #24in48 #readathon.

The first English language romance I read was Outlander. A friend had talked me into it. That was 20+ years ago. I used to read a lot of crime/thriller/murder mystery, but have gradually shifted towards romance and historical romance over those two decades.

Nowadays I seem to read more romance than any other genre. Guess I like to see/read other people falling in love.

3.5⭐️. Perfect summertime read! Quick & fun!

Starting a new audiobook as I continue on with the #24B4Monday Readathon. This book wasn‘t originally in my proposed stack but had it in my audible library for quite some time.
My total so far is 12 hours 59 minutes.

😍 This has to be one of my top Sophie Kinsella reads , I loved it , if your looking for an easy girlie read that will make you giggle I highly recommend

A cute book. Nothing heavy and nothing serious. I wasn‘t crazy about the ending- it was a bit too unrealistic and self centered. But a good listen while I worked in my first paint by number.

At 24.5 miles this week, I met my #BFC fitness goal of walking/running a combined minimum of 20 miles each week. Bitsy walked/ran all of these miles with me. ❤️

I‘m killing my sleep goal! 😂

I listened to the tagged audiobook while walking.

#bookfitnesschallenge

Too many heavy feels this week, so I'm reading something fun and fluffy!

Another day, another #bookhaul. I seriously have a problem.

I‘m out of shelf space (again) and out of space for shelves. 😭

The Fool

I took a picture of the German edition of the tagged book, I gave away the English edition some years ago.

The MC of this Kinsella rom-com is a perfect example of the fool. She runs away from her life as a lawyer, starting work as a housekeeper without knowing anything about housekeeping. But she's a fast learner. She also meets the right guy for a passionate new start.

Loved it keeps you wondering are they on are they off no Sam don't go back on your word , do what's in your heart put yourself first got to. Make life what u want it to be
Very good book ,

I always enjoy Sophie Kinsella! This was another cute one by her 😍

Another great read from Sophie Kinsella. I loved this book. It has the perfect amount of fun, drama, and romance. The ending was everything i hoped for, too. 4.5/5 stars for this one.

“Don't beat yourself up for not knowing the answers. You don't always have to know who you are. You don't have to have the big picture, or know where you're heading. Sometimes, it's enough just to know what you're going to do next.”

It took me a while to get into this one and the first half is a bit cringey and forced, but it got better. By the end you really find yourself rooting for Samantha to choose the right life.

Unfortunately, I disliked this book. I‘ve read a few other Kinsella books and enjoyed them. This one had its moments and made me laugh. But I thought the premise was highly unbelievable and the ending was myopic. Not for me.

As usual with Kinsella, I had a hard time putting this one down. I found it amusing and perfectly entertaining but also a bit tedious. I wish it hadn‘t dragged on quite so long.

I love all of Sophie Kinsella's books, but this might be my favorite.
The first scene introducing the main character is the funny description of the main character texting while getting a massage. She is a total overachiever who gets fired and through a series of misunderstandings gets hired as someone's housekeeper. Has one of the hottest, sex scenes without being gratuitously graphic. Great ending too.

Comic Relief for the Soul (And the ebooks are on sale atm! $1.99 down from $11.99).

It‘s not sci-fi or fantasy, but there‘s a method to the madness. We‘ve all gone through reading slumps. When it happens to me, I take it as a sign that I need something different. Maybe I don‘t need another tense, harrowing plot. Maybe I need some old-fashioned comedy relief.

I caved with the Book Riot deals on Kindle today, then proceeded to download other Kindle Daily Deals. I had previously purchased Circe, but the other “new” titles are today‘s impulse buys.

For someone who doesn‘t really like eBook reading, I‘ve been buying a lot of eBooks lately. And NetGalley stalking. Perhaps #BlameItOnLitsy ?

Hilarious! Reminds me of me in a way as I can't cook either. Was sad when it ended.

• The Undomestic Goddess introduces you to a workaholic lawyer Samantha Sweeting who ends up screwing something at work while she‘s expecting to be made partner in her law firm. She runs away from everything and ends up being a house keeper. IT IS A MUST READ GUYS !!
