Since November 2009Book News: A Storm in A Teacup by Lucy Cavendish
Posted on Thursday, December 10th, 2009 by Leah
The third installment of Lucy Cavendish‘s Samantha Smythe series, A Storm In A Teacup, is due out in April 2010 and it sounds like an amusing read. I haven’t read the previous two so will have to see if I can pick them up!:
Samantha Smythe is time poor. With six mouths to feed she doesn’t even have time for a bath and, in a bid for some undemanding company, has started to talk to the flowers in the garden.
She’s sure things will get better with some holiday sea air. It will be perfect – rock-pooling and chips on the beach. But things are never that simple and soon eldest son Edward is experimenting with Bacardi Breezers and girls in G-strings, middle son Bennie doesn’t want to wear any clothes and why is Samantha’s husband never there when she needs him? Does Samantha have more to worry about than sand in the bed and yummy mummies on the beach or is it all just a storm in a teacup?

The paperback vesion of Jane Green’s latest novel Girl Friday has had a re-design prior to its release on 29th April 2010.

Sasha Blake’s (the pseudonym of Anna Maxted) second novel The Wish is due for release on 5th August 2010 and the book cover has finally been released. I rather love the brown cover, it’s simplistic and I really love the brown as it makes a change from pink covers.
Priya Gupta is a bit cynical when it comes to matters relating to love and fate. So when at her best friends hen night Priya is told she has to see a clairvoyant, she’s not happy and is determined not to believe anything that the pyschic tells her. Strangely though, Priya comes away with just one message: “In matters of love, mother knows best”. Priya doesn’t believe a word, and carries on with her life.
I love Jodi Picoult’s books and her latest, House Rules, which is due out on 27th April 2010 sounds as if it’s going to be another fantastic read. I love the simplistic nature of the cover and can’t wait until the book is out. Here’s the synopsis:
