Since November 2009Author of the Week: Louise Bagshawe
Posted on Thursday, September 24th, 2009 by Chloe
When I was at University, I began to start to read “chick-lit” properly, and one of my first ever chick lit books was Monday’s Child by Louise Bagshawe. I absolutely loved it and set about getting hold of Louise’s other books and since then I’ve been a big fan of her books. Her earlier stuff is definitely much better than her later stuff so its worth checking that out if you haven’t read any of Louise’swork before. Her latest novel Passion is a bit different to her other 11 novels, but I can’t wait to getting around to reading it. As well as being a best selling author, Louise is also a Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for Corby and East Northamptonshire, so she keeps pretty busy! Her sister, Tilly Bagshawe, is also a bestselling writer and just as good as her older sister too. Here’s a bit more about Louise:
“Louise attended local Catholic schools near her family home in London, before going to Oxford University in 1989. After graduating with a degree in Anglo Saxon and Norse, Louise worked as press officer with EMI records and then as a marketing official with Sony Music.
On her 22nd birthday, Louise’s passion for writing was realised with a major publishing deal. To date, Louise has written twelve novels including a string of bestsellers. She has sold over two million books worldwide.”

Author Linda Kelsey is back next February with her third book, The Twenty Year Itch. It’s release date is 7th January 2010 in hardback and 18th February in paperback, and sounds like a great idea. Here’s the synopsis:
e² is the sequel to Matt Beaumont’s first novel e. which was hugely successful but which I haven’t read. 
Kerry Reichs’ new book, The Good Luck Girl, was released last month and the paperback release is due out on the 4th February 2010. The cover will be different… which do you prefer? I personally prefer the one on the left! I like the fonts on the one on the left and I love the purple & gold. 
A few months ago we mentioned the inaugural Chick Lit Reviews’ Awards 2009. (Inspired name, huh?) Here are all of the categories we’ll be honouring. Look out for the full list of nominee’s sometime in late November/early December. In the mean time we’ll be presenting some of those that may make the shortlist. Since Chloe and I have read different books this year, I was wondering if maybe we should do separate nominee’s and winners. What do you guys think?
Four years ago Georgie and Flick started a business called Domestic Angels which does everything from replacing dead hamsters to dyeing pets to match their owners’ clothes.
