The paperback version of Clodagh Murphy’s new book is due out in March and has had a change of cover. You’ll find the new cover on the right and the old one on the left. I think the new cover is absolutely gorgeous, and I’d definitely pick that up over the other cover. Which do you prefer?

The poster for Something Borrowed was released yesterday, and it has to be said I love it. The film will be released in May and, as you know, it’s based on the Emily Giffin novel of the same name. I’m really looking forward to the movie and it looks as though they’ll be sticking to the book, I only hope they follow through on the entire book, because I will not stand for any other ending!
