Lucy Dillon: Lost dogs and lonely hearts

click

The story is mostly about Rachel who inherits her aunts dogcarecenter. She has kind of troubled relationship and the move to her aunts place kind of helps her to really think it over.

Book is also about the dogs and different people who all get to know these dogs. One of the biggest topic although is kids. One couple can't have them, one gets them almost "too easily". I didn't really think at the beginning that this one has so much to do with kids, if i had known, i'm not sure if i'd borrowed this book. It's not the books fault though, it's written well and the story is consisted. Just everywhere i look, hear or read, there's stuff about children and i'm just pretty over it atm. So for me, it just might have been the wrong time in life to read this sort of a book.

Anja Lampela: Pyry

If anything could go wrong, it definitely goes in this one.

Pinja is living in a relationship and she is pregnant. She is thinking that her relationship is happy and in the excact place where every working relationship should be, but she is quite wrong.

It's really hard to describe the book without giving too much away. Overall this book contains every single thing why i hate reading Finnish literature...

Minna Kiistala: Minä en sitten muutu

click

The book is telling a true story of a woman who becomes pregnant and finds it hard to adjust to the "most precious time you can ever have". The book is filled with witty comments about mothers and their children and how people kind of get lost in the family after having a child (ie. forgetting everything else). The book questions the motherly love and passion as well as supports it while her pregnancy goes further.

I really enjoyed the writers attitude, i'm not sure though that would a person with kids appreciate it as much as me - a person who doesn't have kids. The only minus (and withdrawal of one star) is that the last chapter kind of sums up all the feelings - and you are kind of left to wonder that is she really going to be one of those onlineforum-mothers whose only purpos in life is to live through her own child and put down upon people who don't believe in that. I hope she doesn't turn into that and i'll hope she'll have a good head on her shoulder even after her child is born. Maybe she should write a sequel?! ;)

Sophie Kinsella: Shopaholic and baby

click

This was probably the best shopaholic book i've read (so far). Becky is still the same overspending person but the situation is a little different and therefore after reading a lot of quite similar books, this is a nice change.

As you might assume from the title, Becky is having a baby. She hears that there's a maternity clinic who has (almost) only famous customers and she is determend to have her baby over there. What she doesn't realise is that the doctor is actually Luke's ex who wants Luke back and maybe in the end she isn't that happy she wanted to be among the famous.
