So Excited!!! New Marian Keyes!!!!


As you can tell with all the exclamation marks in my title, I have very exciting news for you... Marian Keyes has a new book out! Released on November 3rd of this year, The Brightest Star in the Sky promises to build upon such classics as Watermelon and Last Chance Saloon with the girly "chic-lit" humour Keyes is famous for. I can't wait to get my hands on this book and it's currently sitting at the top of my christmas list! Dec. 25th can't come fast enough...

Title: The Brightest Star in the Sky
Author: Marian Keyes
Price: Currently 30% off at Chapters for $16.80
From the back cover:

Welcome to 66 Star Street . . .

In the top-floor flat lives music exec Katie. She spends her days fighting off has-been rock stars and wondering how much cheesecake you'd need to eat yourself to death.

Below her, a pair of muscular Poles share with a streetwise cabbie named Lydia, who has a sharp tongue, an even sharper brain but some unexpected soft spots.

On the first floor is Fionn - a gardener who prefers the company of parsnips to people. But he looks like a fairy-tale prince and when he's offered his own television show, he's suddenly thrust into the limelight.

And at the bottom of the house live Matt and Maeve, who are Very Much In Love and who stave off despair by doing random acts of kindness.

But a mysterious visitor has just landed at 66 Star Street, bringing love, friendship and heartbreak, and a new-found optimism. Old secrets are working their way to the surface and all their lives are about to change in the most unexpected of ways . . .

  1. I LOVE Marian Keyes! Can't get enough of her style, the first book I ever read from her was Sushi For Beginners, which remains one of my favorite books ever.
    How was the Gargoyle?
