Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella Pdf

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Party Crasher and Love Your Life comes “a hilarious tale . . . hijinks worthy of classic I Love Lucy episodes . . . too good to pass up.” (USA Today) “Sophie Kinsella keeps her finger on the cultural pulse, while leaving me giddy with laughter.”—Jojo Moyes, author of The Giver of Stars and The Last Letter from Your Lover Becky Bloomwood has a fabulous flat in London’s trendiest neighborhood, a troupe of glamorous socialite friends, and a closet brimming with the season’s must-haves. The only trouble is, she can’t actually afford it—not any of it. Her job writing at Successful Saving magazine not only bores her to tears, it doesn’t pay much at all. And lately Becky’s been chased by dismal letters from the bank—letters with large red sums she can’t bear to read. She tries cutting back. But none of her efforts succeeds. Her only consolation is to buy herself something . . . just a little something. Finally a story arises that Becky actually cares about, and her front-page article catalyzes a chain of events that will transform her life—and the lives of those around her—forever. Praise for Sophie Kinsella and Confessions of a Shopaholic “Kinsella’s Bloomwood is plucky and funny. . . . You won’t have to shop around to find a more winning protagonist.”—People “If a crème brûlée could be transmogrified into a book, it would be Confessions of a Shopaholic.”—The Star-Ledger “A have-your-cake-and-eat-it romp, done with brio and not a syllable of moralizing. . . . Kinsella has a light touch and puckish humor.”—Kirkus Reviews

Desirable Residence by Lettice Cooper Pdf

How would you react if squatters moved into the ground floor of your building? The tenants of the upper floor flats of No. 27 Cranby Gardens find themselves in this very situation when a family of three suddenly move into the basement just hours after the former tenants left that morning. Hilda Greencroft is prepared to be friendly - after all, they seem to be harmless squatters: a young couple with a baby - but Oliver and Judith Blackstone say 'Out!' But the squatters have done their research and declare their rights. Fifteen-year-old Tamsine Blackstone, a political revolutionary, thinks the squatters are fabulous, and rushes to offer help and advice, while her shy and idealistic elder brother, Simon, can't bring himself to the make the first step and confront them too. Meanwhile, downstairs in the basement, Polly and Dennis Dyson are preoccupied with their own worries. Having fled from Dennis' domineering mother, they have set up camp in Cranby Gardens with the hope of being transferred to social housing - immediately! But life in the squat is not the romantic idea it's presumed to be - particularly with a young baby - and it is with infinite caution that the social services are slowly beginning to grind into action. And then trouble arrives: a group of new squatters descend on the flat and with them, a life of violence and petty crime. Abruptly, a very different situation faces everyone... In this delightfully human comedy, Lettice Cooper masterfully develops an intriguing plot to reveal a touching and gripping story of a collection of diverse and very human characters.
