Random Book Love: Matched

Random Book Love: the appreciation/anticipation/affection of a book that I've either read, hope to read (TBR) or is on my wishlist. It tends to happen at random because me setting a time and place to randomly show a book some lurve; defeats the entire idea of all that is random:D 

I'm feeling some lurve for Matched this week. I haven't read it yet though. It's on my wishlist. I lurve the story, the cover and hopefully the book too. It's not out until November but it's getting some love nonetheless.


Matched
Author: Ally Condie
Release Date: 30 November 2010
Publishers: Dutton Juvenile
384 pages, Hardcover
Goodreads

Mini Blurb:
In the Society, Officials decide. Who you love. Where you work. When you die.  Cassia has always trusted their choices.  Now she is faced with impossible choices: between the only life she’s known and a path no one else has ever dared follow—between perfection and passion. 


IMO it sounds fresh, and an out of the box love story- though it's not limited to just love. 


That's it for my Random love sesh today.

Random Book Love: The Nanny Returns

Is Random Book Love a feature that will stick? Maybe...perhaps-who knows? One thing that is certain-me setting a time and place to randomly show a book some lurve; defeats the entire idea of all that is random.


The Nanny Returns
Authors: Emma McLaughin, Nicola Kraus
Release Date: 15th Dec 2009
Publishers: Simon & Schuster
This book is the 'sequel' to The Nanny Diaries.

I am taking part in the blog tour for this book hosted by International Blog Tours. I am very excited to be doing so and although I haven't received it yet thought I'd share my excitement for this novel's release.

Blurb at the Back courtesy Goodreads:
Ten years after her original misadventures in babysitting, Nan returns to NYC in this saucy sequel to the phenomenal bestseller The Nanny Diaries. Now married and pondering motherhood herself, the recovering caregiver is about to get a whole new perspective on childrearing. Her trouble former charge bursts back into her life and her new consulting business introduces her to nannying's sophisticated older sister: private school. With the same biting wit and tender heart that marked the original, this long-awaited follow-up skewers the elite culture of "outsourced parenting" on the razor-sharp tip of a 21st-century Mary Poppins umbrella. It's as funny as it is affecting: call it chicklit with a conscience.

What do think....I hope it's as good or even better than the first.
