This is in the category of no one asked for this and no one wanted this. This is L this week (seriously this is such a bad idea)
I do not want Gaston backstory, I do not need Gaston backstory, I reject Gaston backstory

he is a fully formed oaf, consuming eggs by the dozen in one of the greatest villain songs ever written, and that is all we need of him

So I just found out that even if you have your gallbladder out? You can still get gallstones, this percentage is unlikely but I might well be in that percentage, so Merry Christmas to me I guess?

So RIP Sophie Kinsella, she was a great voice in the world of publishing and deserves her flowers for her over 20 year career

I'm going to talk about covers here too, you can see, from 2003 to 2017, how the covers change, the ones from My Not So Perfect Life are in my opinion the best. It is interesting to see how marketing changed, the tone of the books never really did

The last one I'm going to bring up is My Not So Perfect Life, this is an interesting one in terms of how the central relationship isn't really to my mind the romance, it is between her and her boss

The second one and my real favourite is I've Got Your Number, there's a real sense of humour in this one and the connection between the two mains, really works. It is a book that is very much of the time, I still find it charming

The first one, is Can You Keep A Secret? It is a book of the time (published in 2001). I was reading so much at that point in time and the phrase chic lit really was born here. This was turned into a movie (recently too), this is a capsule of time but an interesting one

Sophie Kinsella has recently died, I do want to talk about some of her books (I'm not going to talk about the Shopaholic series)

Hoopla is a great resource and this is all free with the use of your library card, which I personally will always be very happy about
December 10, 2025 at 5:56 PM
Orphan Black, Hoopla has 5 seasons of this and it is a show that I think people forget was such a big hit
December 10, 2025 at 5:55 PM
Chewing Gum, Hoopla has both seasons of this and fun fact Jonathon Bailey was in a role for season 2 of this show
December 10, 2025 at 5:53 PM
Call My Agent! This is the original in French, I've not seen it but I've heard good things (there's 4 seasons on Hoopla)
December 10, 2025 at 5:49 PM
Oh and just to add, I'm going to do a few TV Shows that are on there
December 10, 2025 at 5:47 PM
Just remember that this is a very small section of what is available and based on one person's view, it does prove that Hoopla is a great resource
