My husband and I were in Barcelona in August and loved it and I hope you do too!<br /><br />Anywho - I just finished The Help a couple of weeks ago and adored it. I was curious about Kelly Cutrone's book so perhaps I'll check that out in a bit. Now, I switched gears and am reading Bright Lights, Big Ass by Jen Lancaster - a hysterical memoir.

I have two books on the go at the moment though. My Life in France by Julia Child (but I keep on picturing Meryl Streep as I'm reading it!), and being a good Australian, I'm also reading a new Australian novel "The Book of Emmett" by Deborah Foster. It's a tough read because of the subject matter ..a tale of abuse at the hands of an alcoholic and obsessive father (I know, I know!) but it is so beautifully written. I think it will be a love conquers all ending..I hope so!Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01762326830724357881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-17904749036928398152010-03-16T16:14:57.368-05:002010-03-16T16:14:57.368-05:00I just finished The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency ...I just finished The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith.
