changed forever. Returning home, John must come

11. The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren
Weisberger
Andrea Sachs, a small-town girl fresh out of college,
lands the job “a million girls would die for.” Hired
as the assistant to Miranda Priestly, the high-
profile, fabulously successful editor of "Runway
"magazine, Andrea finds herself in an office that
shouts "Prada! Armani! Versace!" at every turn, a
world populated by impossibly thin, heart-
wrenchingly stylish women and beautiful men clad
in fine-ribbed turtlenecks and tight leather pants
that show off their lifelong dedication to the gym.
THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA gives a rich and
hilarious new meaning to complaints about “The
Boss from Hell.”

13. Confessions of a Shopaholic by
Sophie Kinsella
Becky Bloomwood has what most twenty-five-year-
olds only dream of: a flat in London's trendiest
neighbourhood, a troupe of glamorous socialite
friends, and a closet brimming with the season's
must-haves. The only trouble is, she can't actually
afford it --- not any of it. Her job writing at
Successful Saving magazine not only bores her to
tears, it doesn't pay much at all. Still, how can she
resist that perfect pair of shoes? Or the divine silk
blouse in the window of that ultra-trendy boutique?
She tries cutting back; she even tries making more
money. But none of her efforts succeeds. Her only
consolation is to buy herself something ... just a
little something ...

California with her boyfriend. Now she finds herself
stranded at a Wal-Mart in Sequoyah, Oklahoma,

discover hidden treasures in this small Southwest
town--a group of down-to-earth, deeply caring
people willing to help a homeless, jobless girl living
secretly in a Wal-Mart. From Bible-thumping blue-
haired Sister Thelma Husband to eccentric
librarian Forney Hull who loves Novalee more than
she loves herself, they are about to take her--and
you, too--on a moving, funny, and unforgettable
journey to . . .

No one could imagine Holly and Gerry without each
other. Until the unthinkable happens. Gerry's

the notes are gradually opened, and as the year
unfolds, Holly is both cheered up and challenged.
The man who knows her better than anyone sets

At forty-five, Adrienne Willis must rethink her entire
life when her husband abandons her for a younger
woman. Reeling with heartache and in search of a
respite, she flees to the small coastal town of
