As for me, I am motoring through 'Petite Anglaise' by Catherine Sanderson. It's a memoir based on a blog (didn't know it was based on a blog when I bought it) and it's just so-so. I like the setting and think she does her best in those moments where she is is engaged in honest description. But she is too flowery and tries too hard to be 'clever' that sometimes the story gets lost. Also, she is kind of an annoying person and I don't find her very sympathetic. Still, it's a fast read, and I paid for it, so I am bound and determined to finish.
