Need a good book or 2 to read?

Have you ever read a book that has you totally engrossed in? I have!
Diary of a Mummy Misfit
The Darker Side of Mummy Misfit
Amanda Egan has had a varied past & decided to put pen to paper with these tongue in cheek chick/lit books. Read all about her here.
I downloaded mine onto my Kindle ready for my holiday. Ok so I go away in 4 days time & i’ve nearly finished the 2nd book! I WILL be re-reading both of them again as I LOVE these books & enjoy them whilst sipping my drink in the sun having a good old chuckle.
I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, I’ve held my breath in suspense & loved every second of them both, I feel like I know Libby & each of her friends & acquaintances, we can all relate to someone in the book (I’m deffo not a meemie!!)
If you want a good easy read then this is the book for you. It’s well written & I think we all at some point feel the same way Libby has done about Meemies, we all know a Meemie whoever we are. This is well written & so easy to read. I didn’t want it to end. Amanda writes from the heart & has had me laughing & crying with her, she made me feel part of the book & not an outsider looking in. Mrs S & P are great people & wouldn’t we all love a friend like F & her “out of date Moet sweedie”? This would make a fantastic TV show.
A few weeks ago Amanda wrote a blog post with her dream cast, this put a face to all the characters. Have a look here & see who get’s the starring roles.
Thanks Amanda for your wonderful books. I can’t wait to read number 3. I’ll be downloading it as soon as I can!
And here she is in all her glory (even if she is slightly shy!)
If you’ve got a kindle you can download the now & as of this post (16/03/2012) the prices have been reduced to £1.91 each ……… yep £1.91 (US$2.99 approx). You don’t need a kindle to read these you can download it to your PC using the free download program on Amazon.
If you’ve not got a kindle you can buy them from Lulu here.
Here’s a synopsis of both books.
Diary of a Mummy Misfit
When Libby Marchant and husband Ned made the monumental decision to sacrifice luxuries and holidays to see their only son Max through private education, they hadn’t expected to meet so many unsavoury and dislikeable personalities along the way.
Happily, the cruel jibes of the pompous ‘Meemies’ are made more tolerable by the lasting and loyal friendship they strike up with the affluent Fenella & Josh.
Follow Libby’s journey as she discovers the chasm between the Haves and the Have-Nots in her mad new world of school committees, designer handbags, bitching and botox.
With Fenella by her side, Libby is able to maintain her sanity. But what happens when the credit crunch bites, you’re desperate for another baby and your Asian neighbour is trying to match-make you with her infatuated son?
The Darker Side of Mummy Misfit
Think you knew Mummy Misfit?
Well, you might be in for a surprise.
After a year of struggling with school fees, trying to become pregnant and feeling like she didn’t belong amongst the prep-school ‘Meemies’, Libby is back.
Only this time, she’s got it all.
But how long can it last and will she ever be truly happy?
Join Libby on her hilarious, yet sensitive journey as loyalty, friendships and values are tested in ‘The Darker Side of Mummy Misfit’
