Balancing Acts: A Novel

Balancing Acts - Zoe Fishman - March 2010

Are you one of those girls who loves getting together with girlfriends and hanging out, what about loves to read books along the lines of The Christmas Cookie Club by Ann Pearlman , Jane Austen Book Club etc. If so then today's book is perfect for you and it also has a double benefit of teaching you about Yoga at the same time. Main character , Charlie had it all - working hard through college , she became a Wall-Street tycoon , made lots of money until one day it seemed pointless and she went through a life-changing experience, what some may have called a quarter-life crises and opened up a Yoga Studio. Now on the night of her 10yr college reunion, Charlie thinks this is the perfect opportunity to drum up some business for her studio. At the college reunion, Charlie reconnects with three old classmates whose lives and dreams haven't gone exactly to plan and Yoga and friendship may just be the recipe that they all need to kick start their lives again. We have Romance Book Editor Sabine , who has been harbouring her novel inside of her waiting for the right time to pen it down , Naomi who was once the starlet and photographer is now a single stay-at-home mother and Bess , who dreamed of becoming a famous journalist is now stuck writing for a trashy tabloid.
Read as the four friends take a trip down memory lane and head to Yoga Class where each will forge a bond of sisterhood and realise that it's never too late to re-evaluate our lives.
This seems to be a huge topic at the moment , the journey to re-discovery especially with the release of the movie Eat, Pray and Love starring Julia Roberts based on the book with the same title by Elizabeth Gilbert.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
