    Mama Mia (Mia Freedman's new book)
    Sorry for hijacking, just have to ask... Is it good? I love her blog & follow her on Twitter, so I've been thinking of getting it.

    Best thing that I have read recently is a collection of short stories by Karen Hitch**** - I think it was called Little White slips.

    I would recommend it to everyone.
