I did the sex and the city tour a few years back (pre-films!) and had a cupcake from THAT bakery. It was SEXY.

Feasting on Romantic Comedy - Cupcakes from Sex and the City
I have a crush. Yeah? [Nods] Yep. God, you haven't had a real crush in a while. Not since Big. Big wasn't a crush he was a crash. Eating was something of a favourite pastime with Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte. Breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner or grabbing a snack from a street vendor ...
Well said Mel! Here's hoping! :)

Novelicious Natters - The Death of the Bookshop
Film fans cried out in sadness recently at the news that both HMV and Blockbuster were on their way to the big DVD/Blu-ray cloud in the sky. The increase in downloads and online shopping was to blame, it was said, with the high street shops simply unable to keep afloat. With companies like Net...
Sounds RIGHT up my street!

Completely agree about the final Twilight Victoria! The book was so boooooring! Actually really enjoyed the film. I have many films I love as much as the book (often for different reasons) but yes it's always massively disappointing when the film is so bad in comparison. It taints the original somehow because the two blur together!

Novelicious Natters - Are adaptations ruining the art of a great novel?
It’s no secret by now that I love adaptations. As a fan of both mediums, a great book to film adaptation is like someone had a peek inside your imagination and projected it onto a cinema screen. And certain elements of a great book just lend themselves to working really well on the big screen...

That was why the article annoyed me so much! It basically assumed that teenagers are so naive and stupid they couldn't possibly handle anything remotely dark or challenging. How patronising!

Novelicious Natters - 'Sick-lit' and the importance of Young Adult fiction
When I was a teenager (not so long ago!) I loved Point Horror and Point Crime novels with a bit of Nancy Drew (remember her?) and Sweet Valley High thrown in. There was crime and intrigue, sure, but it was fun and exciting, not filled with gore or the stuff of nightmares. Nowadays, Young Adul...
You need to read Harry Potter Jenni :) ! But yes, variety is so important! can you imagine if teenage books were all nice and happy. The shock of real life would be immense!

Ten Books...Inspired by Austen
Today is the 200th anniversary of the publication of Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen. I'm sure Jane never imagined that her plots, stories and characters would have provided so much inspiration for other writers over the centuries. Spin-off stories exist in their hundreds but they can be like...
Book lovers have always loved sharing. You read a book that's OK and you finish it and move on. But every now and then you read a book that you just burst to tell everyone else about and make them go and read it so they can experience it too. Thanks to Twitter, I can now shout it from the rooftops... and occasionally, thank the author too!

Novelicious Natters - Social Media: The Level Playing Field

There's no need to be pretentious, that's why I love it. People learn what you love and recommend accordingly. It's being able to share your "fangirl" with others exactly like you! FUN FOR ALL! :)

You'd be surprised Karen - it's fast becoming something of a Marmite film. People either love or hate it!
