Summer and the City by Candace BushnellPublisher: HarperCollinsRelease date: April 2011 (US & UK)Series: The Carrie Diaries #2
Summer is a magical time in the city and Carrie is in love with all of it - the crazy characters in her neighborhood, the vintage-clothing boutiques, the wild club scene, and the mysterious new guys who have entered her life. She’s finally in a real writing class, taking her first steps toward fulfilling her dream. And there's the fact that she gets to live in Samantha Jones's apartment.
Summer and the City brings surprising revelations as Carrie learns to navigate her way around the Big Apple, going from being a country “sparrow”—as Samantha likes to call her—to the person she always wanted to be. But as Carrie continues to evolve, she knows she must balance this exciting new life and her writing aspirations with the big decision that awaits her at the end of the summer.
The sequel to The Carrie Diaries gives readers insight into what turned a small-town girl into one of New York City's most unforgettable icons, Carrie Bradshaw.
I loved The Carrie Diaries, and I can't wait for this next book in the series. I'm so excited to read about Carrie and Samantha's first summer in the city together! So much fun! I think the cover art for this book is much cuter than the first book too. Both US & UK covers are cute! Which one is your favourite?
Let me know what you think, and share your WoW picks in comments! :)
That looks like an interest book. I love the US cover! My WoW is at Coffee Table Press
ReplyDeleteBoth are equally adorable! I recently got The Carrie Diaries. I never thought I will read it but now I am all set to give it a try :)
ReplyDeleteI loved the first book! Can't wait to read this one. Great pick :)
ReplyDeleteLove Candace's characters and this sounds like another fun read. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteGreat pick! I loved The Carrie Diaries as well....such a fun summer read. I actually like UK cover better! Thanks for sharing this one.
ReplyDeleteUS cover!
ReplyDeleteI need to read the Carrie Diaries, I heard it was pretty good and I really loved the TV show. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteI never read The Carrie Diaries bc I'm not a S&tC fan, but I hear it's great. These covers are brilliant, so maybe I'll have to try ;) Great pick!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, how cool is the USA cover for this book! I'm in love with it:) The UK one is gorgeous as well, but I just love that the other one looks like a clutch:) Nice choice this week Leanna!
ReplyDeleteI prefer the UK cover. Still haven't read The Carrie Diaries. I am curious to see how this lines up with the glimpse of their youth in the SATC2 movie. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteGreat pick - I want to read this one too. Both covers are pretty but I think I like the UK one best.
ReplyDeleteI saw my friend reading the first book a few weeks ago and I really liked the cover. But this one (especially US) is totally mind-blowing. I'm in love with the cover.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love the US cover! It reminds me of the Secrets of My Hollywood Life covers. Bags are my guilty pleasure. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the covers!!! The US one especially. I'm not a fan of the books though, but I really want that cover... Great pick. :D
ReplyDeleteHow to Knit a Heart Back Home
ReplyDeleteBy Rachael Herron
Publication date: March 1, 2011
Lucy Harrison sells books by day and volunteers with the Cypress Hollow fire department by night. Her life is just the way she likes it—full, even-keeled, and smooth—until bad-boy ex-cop Owen Bancroft comes back to town. Lucy has always been fearless, never scared about diving in to help others. When it comes to risking her heart, however, she realizes she's absolutely terrified.
In a small town like Cypress Hollow, everyone knows your business—and there is nowhere to hide. Then Lucy and Owen are thrown together by the discovery of the lost work of local legend, knitting guru Eliza Carpenter. Now Owen, adrift and struggling to redefine himself as a civilian without a badge, will have to learn how to open himself up to life's new possibilities . . . while Lucy decides just how much of herself she's willing to gamble on love.
I love how the USA cover looks 3D. That's pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteCute covers! I haven’t watched the shows, movies, or read the books. I can’t help but wonder if I’m missing out :) Great pick!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read The Carrie Diaries or watched Sex and the City but I love both the US and UK cover for Summer and the City. The shades of pink and purple are so good and eye catching!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Carrie's Diaries either but might have to give it a try , love the US cover this time .
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays
I prefer the UK cover. There's more variation to the colors.
ReplyDeleteOh man!!! I didn't know there was going to be a second one...I still need to read the first one!!!
ReplyDeleteReading the first one right now. Love it. I pick the US one, just because it fits with the cover I have now. :)
ReplyDeleteGosh, these covers are both fabulous, but I have to say that I'm veering a little towards the US cover's side. Nice Wow pick to end the year off with Leanna :D
ReplyDeleteOoooo!! Love both covers. I have The Carrie Diaries in my TBR pile. It's actually been there forever and I'm huge fan of Sex in the City...go figure!
ReplyDeleteI loved both covers, but particularly like the USA one. I haven't read these books, but just might since I'm a coverholic.
