Thoroughbred, No. 1.)
by Joanna Campbell

I added a cover on for you :-)

I loved these sort of horsey books when I was a kid, despite not knowing much about horses!

by Annabelle van Tongeren
bookshelves: fashion
I picked up this book from the library after reading an enthusiastic review by Lady Smaggle, and it was an excellent fashion tome. It's written by an Australian, and has great recommendations for Australian brands which is fun. It's geared towards formal wear, but there's still plenty of principles you can apply to everyday clothing. I found some of the principles a bit difficult to apply - for example, trying to emphasise my one killer feature (to use the language of the book) and cover up my unfortunate features sometimes turned into contradictory advice. Still, I don't think it's possible to write a book of fashion advice that applies to all body shapes everywhere, and I very much liked the style and tone of this one. ]]> 23764855 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 15:07:58 -0700 http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20261226 to: The Zygote Chronicles: A Novel (Paperback)
by Suzanne Finnamore
bookshelves: general-fiction
Jonniker recommended Suzanne Finnamore on her blog, and I trotted off to the library to explore. (I wanted to read her engagement/marriage novel prior to the pregnancy one, but Zygote Chronicles was on the shelves, so that's what I picked up).

I expected something a bit chick-littish, which this is definitely not - it's a small book, a diary of a pregnancy, and beautifully written. I felt completely caught up in that strange world of something coming to life inside you, and the oddness of it all. Oh, and it's terribly funny as well. Good stuff, and I'm looking forward to reading her other books. ]]> 23763539 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 14:52:37 -0700 http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/21348796 Burning Bright (Hardcover)
