|
It's Friday!! Time for weekly meme, The Friday 56 hosted by Tonya of Story Time With Tonya and Friends. Lets see what I've got today..Hmm...the closest book is Cry Silent Tears by Joe Peters. Ok..Wait. I'm putting it away! Haha...now the closest one is Lauren Weisberger's The Devil Wears Prada. So, I've to write bout this book, since it is the closest one. I'm cheating?? Yeah...I am cheating. Haha!! Enough of bla, bla, bla....I'm sharing this with you...

"Yeah, well, I definitely agree that I have the best gig around. I mean, Ralph Lauren? Chanel? Frederic Marteau's apartment? Quite a first day. I have to say, I'm not quite sure how all of this going to get me any closer to The New Yorker, but maybe it's just too early to tell. It's just not seeming like reality, you know?"

The Friday 56 Rules
  • Grab the book nearest to you. Right now.
  • Turn to page 56 and find the 5th sentence.
  • Post that sentence (or plus one or two others you like) along with this instructions on your blog or (if you do not have your own blog) in the comments section of Story Time With Tonya and Friends.
  • Post a link along with your blog post back to Story Time with Tonya and Friends.
  • Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the closest.
That's all. Happy Friday...Ciao..

Library Time: Lauren Weisberger

|
Howdy readers!! I watched The Devil Wears Prada the movie starring the winner of Academy Award, Meryl Streep and a hot chick, Anne Hathaway a few years back. The movie is fashionably fantastic. Thus, when I started reading books at the end of last year, I decided to read the book version of The Devil Wears Prada. And today, I found it on the library shelf!! Yeah..! Ain't I lucky? Yeah....I also picked the second bestselling novel by the same author, Lauren Weisberger, Everyone Worth Knowing. Wohooo..!!! Double happiness...Well, lets read the short synopsis bout the books.*smile....*

The Devil Wears Prada
"High fashion, low cunning - and the boss from hell"

When Andrea first set foot in the plush Manhattan offices of Runway she knows nothing. She's never heard of the world most fashionable magazine, or its feared and fawned-over editor. Miranda Priestly. Soon she knows way too much. She knows it's a sacking offense to wear less than a tree-inch heel at work-but there's always a fresh pair of Monolos in the accessories cupboard.

She knows that eight stone is fat. that you can charge anything - cars, manicures, clothes- to the Runway account, but must never leave your desk, or get Miranda's coffee get cold. That a 3 am, when your boyfriend's dumping you because you're always working and your best friend's just been arrested, if Miranda phones with her latest unreasonable demand, you jump. Most of all, Andrea knows that Miranda is a monster boss who makes Cruella de Vil like a fluffy bunny. But this is her big break, and it's all going to be worth it in the end. Isn't it?


Everyone Worth Knowing
"Betty gets paid to party........."

And she can hardly believe her luck. Running with celebs, gaining VIP access to Manhattan's hottest club meeting 'everyone worth knowing' is a million miles away from her old banking job. When she turns up in the gossip columns with notorious British playboy, it delights her publicity-mad new boss. But her family and her friends want to know what happen to the girl who love bad novels, 80's music and always had time for them.


can Betty says goodbye to the glamour and Gucci and step back into the real world? And where will she find her own prince charming.
