It occurred to me that the only books I am currently reading are serious business books. It's a genre that I really enjoy, mainly for the tips and tricks of those who have gone before me and the motivational kick in the behind I get after reading them.
On my bedside table I currently have- The Google Story, Too Big to Fail (It's about the GFC-loathe this term) and Female Chauvinist Pigs. Not exactly light reading. So this morning I jumped on the book depository (the lazy woman's Borders) and purchased the following....

What does a girl who owns Wikifashion really need? A fashion dictionary! *cough* tax deductible...

After the train wreck that was SATC2 I decided to lick my wounds and purchase this. I'm attempting to wipe the slate clean and fall in love with Carrie et al, all over again.

I was a little hesitant to purchase this initially, due to it being ghost written, but under the guise of good girly fun I thought it would be inappropriate not to buy LC's book.

Out of all the books I have purchased, this is the one I am really looking forward to. Zoe Foster, a gorgeous former beauty editor, online editor of primped.com.au and published author. Basically I want to be her! (I'm not sure if many of you would remember, but a while ago I said I wanted to write a book. Well last night I sat down for three hours and wrote a 3000 word plan). It's a start at least!
So what books are on your winter reading list? Do any of you have some tips for a budding author?
