This book was on the windowsill of the Showroom Bar in Sheffield, where the Sheffield Bookcrossing meet was taking place. Although it is not registered as a BookCrossing book, it has obviously been left by a natural BookCrosser. I took the book, replacing it with a BookCrossing book, to register and re-release, as I am doing now. I wish it all the best on it's journey!

Amazon.co.uk Review:
'It's a killer title: The Devil Wears Prada. And it's killer material: author Lauren Weisberger did a stint as assistant to Anna Wintour, the all-powerful editor of Vogue magazine. Now she's written a book, and this is its theme: narrator Andrea Sachs goes to work for Miranda Priestly, the all-powerful editor of Runway magazine. It turns out Miranda is quite the bossyboots. That's pretty much the extent of the novel, but it's plenty. Miranda's behaviour is so insanely over-the-top that it's a gas to see what she'll do next, and to try to guess which incidents were culled from the real-life antics of the woman who's been called Anna "Nuclear" Wintour. For instance, when Miranda goes to Paris for the collections, Andrea receives a call back at the New York office (where, incidentally, she's not allowed to leave her desk to eat or go to the bathroom, lest her boss should call). Miranda bellows over the line: "I am standing in the pouring rain on the rue de Rivoli and my driver has vanished. Vanished! Find him immediately!"'
Happy Reading!

Thank you so much jazz-ee2! I got this already last week, but because of my current living arrangement due to plumbing renovation I only got it journaled today. I'm swamped with bookrings at the moment, but I really can't wait to get to this one...
Well, I tried to read this one and even though it doesn't seem bad, it just doesn't keep my interest. And I have so many books to read that I won't read something I don't feel like reading. Anyway, I'm glad I tried and I know that I'm not interested :)
I will release this somewhere in the near future.

I found the book from the gym, read it and will take it with me to Sweden and leave it in Gothenburg. Hopefully it will find a new reader from there!
