Another well written and witty novel by Sophie Kinsella
Surprise Me: A Novel
By: Sophie Kinsella
Rating: 5 of 5
I have long been a fan of Sophie Kinsella, beginning with the first I read by her “Undomestic Goddess”. Her stories always seem to tie to my own life in some fashion. In this, her latest, novel, I easily relate to the issues which come up and evolve in a married life.
Sylvie is a 32 year old woman who, along with her husband Dan (also 32) has just found out from their doctor that they should plan on another 68 years of married life based on their great genetics. They both respond with a fear of that kind of longevity with a single partner and how to keep from getting bored with each other.

39 designs of a new Nice Little Town plus extra designs – printed one side of the page
Adult Coloring Book: Nice Little Town (Volume 3)
By: Tatiana Bogema (Stolova)
Rating: 5 of 5
I have all of the coloring books in this series. I’ve been trying to wrap my head around all these houses in this little town but with this book, the intent becomes clear. Each book is of a new town. In this town, the architecture is much more modern than those of the previous books. It also appears to be near the coast or a large water source based on what are in some of the illustrations.
Once I made the connection, I realized that I really like it! I get a whole new town and can think up ways of coloring that are specific to the vibe of that town. I purchased this book in the full size version but I think it may also be available in a smaller travel size. This is the size of a standard coloring book at 8.5 x 11 inches. I like the bigger book so I can play with shading, blending and such.
While this is a brand new town, there are still cute cats and lots of fun detail, though with modern architecture, the style is quite different from the earlier towns.
What is amazing to me is that the book contains 39 Town scenes and that the artist also has provided another ten “bonus” designs which almost demand a book of their own. I hope she finishes off a full book of those designs as well. Add to that another eleven sample designs from her other books and you have a full sixty designs in this book.
