OMG! I actually got giddy and gushed over the thought of getting my hands on the new book of Sophie Kinsella. Yesssss people, her new novel "Remember Me?" will be released on Feb 28 and i C-A-N-T wait! So, I posted a message at Powerbook's site and I already asked when it will be released here in PH. I've learned my lesson not to buy from Amazon.com anymore since it cost me more (based on my experience when Shopaholic & Baby was released) ~ just to give a quick background: I ordered Shopaholic & Baby online but then it got delayed, for 3 freakin' weeks!! and by the time I got the book, Powerbooks was selling it for 2 weeks already and with a selling price of only 600++. WTF!? I felt robbed!
Oh well, lesson learned there.
So, if your a fan of Sophie's work.. here is an excerpt from her latest book.
Reading a few lines from the excerpt.. here's the first that made me chuckle:
The sack race at school. Oh God, not this memory again. I try to block it out, but too late, it's rushing in. . . . I'm seven years old, it's sports day, and I'm winning by miles, but it feels so uncomfortable to be out front that I stop and wait for all my friends. They catch up-then somehow in the melee I trip and wind up coming in last. I can still feel the humiliation, hear the laughter, feel the dust in my throat, the taste of bananas . . .
Did I mention that I can't wait for this to be released? But what the heck, I'm saying it again.... I CAN'T WAIT!
