From Goodreads.com: "Prize-winning author Anna Gavalda has galvanized the literary world with an exquisite genius for storytelling. Here, in her epic new novel of intimate lives-and filled with the "humanity and wit" (Marie Claire) that has made it a bestselling sensation in France-Gavalda explores the twists of fate that connect four people in Paris. Comprised of a starving artist, her shy, aristocratic neighbor, his obnoxious but talented roommate, and a neglected grandmother, this curious, damaged quartet may be hopeless apart, but together, they may just be able to face the world"

I read this book for my Book Group - a couple of the members had already read it and suggested it as a good read. It is also being made into a film. The book was ok but a bit predictable, and the main character Camille is very trying! But perservere with it as it gets better.

Not sure what I will do with this one, will sit on the shelf for a while perhaps.

This was released at the bookcrossing meet up on NYE at the wharf outside the national museum.

Had a wonderful evening as we watched 2011 set behind the National Museum and the fireworks rise over Lake Burley Griffin. A glass of champagne, BookCrossing friends and books. Kids running around on the lawns. Chips and dips. Puns and fun.

This one looks good. At least its cover does...

Happy New Year!

I picked this up for the gorgeous cover, but alas, my eyes are bigger than my stomach as far as reading goes.

Caught at our BC Canberra get-together at the cafe in Old Parliament House, 'The Kitchen Cabinet'. Thanks so much.

This has languished on Mt Toobie while I was studying so it's time to find it another home.
