Candace Bushnell: Making This Summer Hot.

This year will be a year

that I remembered for many reasons.

I moved to England.

I started my dream job.

I contemplated an affair with a Croque Madame in Paris...

and I became obsessed with Candace Bushnell.

Remember last year when I received 

the surprise signed copy of The Carrie Diaries 

?

I soooo underappreciated that.

Had it been this year,

it would have been a different story.

I.would.have.flipped.out.

True, I'm a little late in the game.

Candace Bushnell's already been a legend for years

for the creation of Sex & The City...

but what can I say?

Endless hours on British public transport

have provided the perfect setting for me 

to get immersed in her books for hours upon end.

In fact, I finished the last pages 

of my only remaining Bushnell book, Trading Up,

  on my way home from London last night.

As fate would have it, I soon learned 

that the new sequel to last year's prequel

of Sex and the City,

Summer and the City

goes in store today

at Barnes & Noble.

Just in time for summer,

and just in time to keep my addiction fed.
