Since November 2009Book News: How Not To Shop by Carmen Reid
May 11th, 2009 by Leah
Carmen Reid’s third novel in the Annie Valentine series, How Not To Shop, hits the shops on August 13th. The previous two novels in the series are The Personal Shopper and Late Night Shopping. The synopsis for How Not To Shop reads:
Her passion is fashion…but she’s on a budget! Personal shopper Annie Valentine is about to hit the big time: presenting a glamorous TV makeover series! But too late, Annie discovers this is TV on a shoestring. They’re paying her buttons and her budget is zip. Can she make do with Primark when all she wants is Prada? While Annie performs miracles with the minimum, boyfriend Ed is left at home with one son (deeply green), one daughter (deeply teen) and one sexy, Russian blonde (don’t ask). He’s not happy. He wants more together-time. He wants a dog. He may even want…a baby! But could non-stop, fame-seeking Annie ever handle that?
I haven’t read any of Carmen’s previous novels but the Annie Valentine series sounds interesting.
Carmen other novels are: Three in a Bed, Did the Earth Move?, How Was it For You?, Three in a Bed and the previously mentioned The Personal Shopper and Late Night Shopping. Carmen has also written two young-adult novels set in a Scottish boarding school titled Secrets At St Jude’s: New Girl and Secrets At St Jude’s: Jealous Girl which is due out this year.
