notes from the underbelly by risa green

As a guidance counselor at an elite, Bel Air high school, Lara Stone is definitely not ready to have any spoiled, bratty kids of her own. At least not now, when she has finally managed to Tae-Bo and low-carb herself down to a perfect size four. But her husband has different ideas, and they include fatherhood. Now.

Suddenly, Lara finds herself deep within the underbelly of pregnancy, as a cranky, non-glowing mother-to-be dealing with uncontrollable crying jags, inexplicable weight gain, and scary hemorrhoids. And her mood doesn't improve when she's given the task of getting one of her students-the punk, outcast daughter of a famous movie director-into a highly competitive college.

Expecting is nothing like Lara ever expected.

Tales from the crib : Risa Green

Lara Stone is back again, and nine months of being miserably pregnant was nothing compared to what follows. But when Lara's long-estranged dad shows up with a stripper on his arm, her husband begins flirting with a hot twenty-five-year old, and her nanny casts voodoo spells to keep her from losing those last ten pounds, Lara soon finds that sleepless nights, S&M-like pumping bras, and a raging case of the post-baby blues are the least of her problems.

Picking up where the critically acclaimed Notes from the Underbelly left off, Lara tries her damnedest to become a "good" mother, while keeping sane among the Gucci-clad Mommunists from her Mommy and Me class. But just when she's certain she'll never figure this nurturing thing out, she finds support in the unlikeliest of places, and comes to understand that-unlike diapering-there's no wrong way to love someone.

ni sambungan dr cerita Lara after delivery. very funny. both books made me laugh. being a mum for the first time & at the same time nak maintain weight, appearance etc

GIRLS FROM OVERSEAS by NERGIS DALAL

The Dun valley in the early 1970s: the enclave of the idle affluent—quiet, green and temperate, as much of India is not. Just the kind of place where ‘the girls from overseas’, five white women married to Indian men, should feel least displaced. Yet, Gertrude, Jane, Michelle, Sandy and Louise are vaguely unhappy: they wish they could be elsewhere, and hold weekly tea parties where they only meet each other. Their sole ally here is Jason, a young American who brings them foreign goods from his frequent trips abroad, lends them a shoulder to cry on, and sometimes sleeps with them.Then Jason goes and marries an Indian woman, a famous dancer with exotic looks and a superior air. What are the girls from overseas to do?
An unsparing examination of marriage, displacement and the many small compromises that make up life, The Girls from Overseas, first published in 1979, shines with wit and intelligence and is a delightful read.

mula-mula baca tak expect anything la, ingatkan biasa-biasa je.. tapi best jugak rupanya

Sisipan.eMas

Books from Dean R Koontz anyone?

Sis mmg gila betul dgn novel dr author ni. Byk dah dlm simpanan. Antaranya Midnight, Watvhers, False Memory, From the Corner of His Eyes, Winter Moon dan byk lagi. Novel2 dia more to suspence thriller & mystery. Latest yg dah baca (tu pun dah lama sbb takde masa..) tajuknya The Husband.

The Husband mengisahkan ttg cabaran tak terduga oleh Mitchell Raferty, seorg suami yg mana isterinya di culik dan memerlukan ransom sbyk 2 juta sedangkan dia hanya bekerja sbg landscaper. Dlm pencarian mencari isterinya dia berdepan dgn pelbagai cabaran dan satu-persatu rahsia yg tak terduga terbongkar. Semuanya bagaikan mimpi ngeri kerana dia cuma ada masa 72jam utk menyediakan duit tersebut.

Bestlah citer nie. Ada bbrp buku dah beli tapi lum ada masa nak baca

fly_in_d_sky

Fourteen-year-old Will Burrows has little in common with his strange, dysfunctional family. In fact, the only bond he shares with his eccentric father is a passion for archaeological excavation. So when his dad mysteriously vanishes, Will is compelled to dig up the truth behind his disappearance. He unearths the unbelievable: a subterranean society that time forgot. "The Colony" has existed unchanged for a century, but it's no benign time capsule of a bygone era. Because the Colony is ruled by a merciless overclass, the Styx. Will must free his father梑ut is he also about to ignite a revolution?

mula-mula mmg a tad boring..
the story picked up when joyce goes to london, in search of her blood donor with her father
i love the part where they went live on antique show and found out their waste basket was valued at GBP 1000

it is a good book, i think much better than PS I love you
maybe a bit impossible to believe, since blood transfusion between justin and joyce happened, but the characters are excellent
especially joyce's father and justin's brother and SIL

i love it that joyce explore her relationship with her father

seribulan

am reading...
