Holiday Reads

I am heading off on a short escape this month, and what else do you need on a veg-out holiday except a lounge chair and a good book. I want to pick up a few more new books, so tell me, what are your book recommendations? This is what I am taking:

I read The Great Gatsby in my teens but, as you can tell by previous posts, I am currently obsessing with all things 'Gatbsy'. Thanks Baz. I thought what better way to keep me satisfied on til the film is released than to re-read this old classic. 

Ok, so I am a bit late to the party with this one, but I have been saving it for my holiday! It has received a lot of mixed reviews in the blogger world, but I am still going to give Grace- A Memoir a go. 

Miuccia Prada and The Great Gatsby

I have been anticipating the release of Baz Lluhrmann's adaptation of The Great Gatsby for over a year now. I'm sure many of us read the novel at some point during high school or have seen the 1974 film. 

Having worked together before on films such as Romeo + Juliet, it seems fitting that Llurhmann should call on Miuccia Prada to oversee work on the costumes for the film. Working with costume designer Catherine Martin, Miuccia has developed stunning pieces, perfect for the 1922 setting. I must say I am almost as excited for the costume and set design than the film itself. 

Here are four of the sketches that have been released so far.
