Celebrating the Good Life • May 24 - June 10, 2010 • Vol 15 no 16 • FREE Fun, fashion and friendship as Sex and The City returns SATC fans can rejoice because come May 28, the gals are back on the big screen in a sequel that’s said to sparkle as much as the first! Plot details are sketchy (the movie’s been kept under tight wraps until its global release) but from what we hear, it’s two years later and Carrie and Mr Big are battling financial woes and a lessthan-perfect marriage; Samantha’s had to tone down her glam lifestyle; Miranda’s quit her law practice and Charlotte is drained from the demands of motherhood. When the opportunity arises for a sun-drenched, girlsonly adventure abroad, the four best friends bid The Big Apple temporarily adieu and embark on a wild adventure... Of course, in true SATC style, there’s plenty of glamour; gorgeous fashion and witty one-liners, along with fun and friendship. Look out for appearances by Liza Minelli, Penelope Cruz and John Corbett - aka Carrie’s former flame, Aidan Shaw. Sounds like a blast! See you at the cinema... PS. Turn to our view page for more movies releasing this fortnight, as well as a handful of great DVDs to hire for home.

Prue Leith can cook up a storm ... and her writing is delicious, too. A Serving of Scandal is just the perfect winter read ... a combination of sex and politics with a little food thrown in for good measure. Kate McKinnon, mother to a five-year-old boy, restaurant chef-turned-caterer, gets a job cooking at the Foreign Office, where she meets Secretary of State Oliver Stapler. Married with children, she knows he’s out of bounds, but falls for him anyway. And when the tabloids find out, they have a field day ... they’re out to sell newspapers, and don’t have many qualms about destroying lives. Quercus, R199.

New on the bookshelves Cheeky chic-lit and murder mysteries...

Curl up in front of the fire and tuck into this month’s chic-lit must-read ... Carmen Reid’s Celebrity Shopper. Featuring the hugely likeable personal shopper Annie Valentine, who’s just had twins and now stars in her own TV show, the book is a fabulous, lighthearted read that sees Annie taking her crew on a disastrous trip to Paris and then to the wilds of Scotland after she foolishly declares - on air - that she could negotiate the Scottish rocky outcrops in heels and a handbag! Far-fetched, glam, great fun. Perfect to cheer you up on a chilly weekend. Random House, R195.

‘Once there was a widow with three sons, and their names were Black, Brown and Blue. Black was the eldest: moody and aggressive. Brown was the middle child: timid and dull. But Blue was his mother’s favourite. And he was a murderer.’ With a beginning like that, who wouldn’t want to pick up this book and read it in one sitting? Joanne Harris’s Blue Eyed Boy revolves around BB - a 42-year-old hospital porter who lives at home and spins dark murder fantasies on a website called badguysrock. Mind games, multiple personalities, fantasy lives ... this intricately plotted thriller is a brilliant page-turner. Random House, R235.

“I’m black, for God’s sake. And a woman. Shouldn’t I be CEO of a company by now?” Sandton fashionista Trinity Luhabe is back in town ... and as fabulously conceited as ever. She has a caring boyfriend, a hot Nigerian neighbour, a fun flatmate and, after a little begging, a job at Jozi Talks radio station. Fiona Snyckers’ Trinity on Air is hilarious ... life in the fast lane with one hot black chick! JonathanBall, R148.

Harlan Coben’s another author who writes snap-them-up-and-read-themtonight thrillers ... and Caught doesn’t disappoint. This tension-filled read revolves around a missing teenager, Haley McWaid - a good girl with everything going for her, who one night doesn’t come home and isn’t heard from again. The community assumes the worst, as does Wendy Tynes, a reporter whose mission is to identify and bring down sexual predators on national television. But despite previous successes, Tynes discovers she can’t trust her instincts on this story, nor the motives of the people around her. Brilliant Coben twists! Orion Books, R199.

Not much makes us happier than finding a new Lee Child on the book shelves. Jack Reacher is simply the coolest character ever ... in 61 Hours he finds himself in South Dakota in the middle of an ice storm. In this small town, he finds all sorts of oddities. A strange stone building with links to the military. An unnecessarily large police force which is concentrating all its efforts on guarding a 70-year-old ex-librarian, witness to a drug deal. A group of bikers who are making the residents nervous. Reacher (who obviously doesn’t even have a coat!) is drawn into the mystery ... one that appears to be being controlled by a ruthless man based in Mexico. As always, completely unputdownable. Cancel your weekend plans! Random House, R235.
