    Chasing Harry Winston: A Novel
    Chick lit fans probably know all the anticipated plots; they may have seen them all and read them all. But, they definitely haven't heard them all until they give a listen to Lily Rabe's delicious reading of Chasing Harry Winston by The Devil Wears Prada author Lauren Weisberger.

    This little piggy went to Prada: Nursery Rhymes for the Blahnik Brigade
    This is amusing to a point, and not really geared for baby. It's references are British, not American, so the stores other than Prada, Gucci, etc are in London. Better for Mommy than for Baby.

    Prada - The Devil Wears Prada
    The Devil Wears Prada
    This book started out as snarky fun. I enjoyed imagining I was reading an insider's scoop. The boss, Miranda Priestly, was over-the-top hell-on-heels. After a while, though, she was one-dimensional, as was the narrator and main character, Andrea Sachs. I think the author did herself a disservice by writing in first-person - it might have given her a little distance to write in third person and at least pretend these characters were made up. As it was, it seemed like reading a journal where someone had done a search-and-replace, changing real names into fictional ones. In the end, I actually felt some sympathy for Miranda when she said she had noted Andrea's frequent eye-rolling and sighs.
