Waiting on Wednesday: Big Girl

The book I am aching to try this Wednesday is:

Big Girl by Danielle Steel
Scheduled to release in the U.S. February 23, 2010

Blurb: "In this heartfelt and incisive new novel, Danielle Steel celebrates the virtues of unconventional beauty while exploring deeply resonant issues of weight, self-image, sisterhood, and family."

nice header- goes very well with the blog, I also like the little icon for your "about me" section - I actally prefer the girl with the ponytail reading instead of the glamour girl in the header but that's just me

Jill: Thanks for visiting!

Lissa: Thanks for your honesty :) pony tail girl is staying as my button so she'll still be around ;)

I'm not a massive fan of Danielle Steel, buuuut I'm loving your new header! I love Parajunkee's work and have been meaning to contact her for ages to do my layout too! Planning to do it next week when I have more time and so my layout will hopefully be a prettyful as yours. :)

You know, I have somehow managed to go through life without ever once reading a Danielle Steele novel. I've always been afraid of the romance aspect, but with book reviewing, I'm becoming more open, and this one does just look so cute!

Juju at Tales of Whimsy.com said...

Bookalicious: Right on! I've always thought you blog is positively lovely!

Shannon: You totally should. I can't wait to see what you find.

Ashley: Awwww! *blush* Thanks!

Thank you everyone :)

I've read one book by Steel - Toxic Bachelor - but not really enjoying it. I wonder if Steel every novels by Steel feature slightly old-ER characters? Or only characters in "Toxic Bachelor" are old?

Arielle said...

Would anyone believe it if I say that I have never read anything by Danielle Steel? I really have to try something by her.

Oh and I love the new header Juju!

Juju at Tales of Whimsy.com said...

Alyssa: Rachel does rock :)

Arielle: I've heard allot of that. I do remember reading an old one of hers many many years ago and truly loving it! It was called No Greater Love and was about the Titanic.
