YAY OR NAY WEDNESDAY
You'll now no doubt all be aware of Tina Brown's book, The Diana Chronicles, released in time for the ten-year anniversary of Princess Diana's death. (Find out what The Guardian thought of it here).
So my question to you this week is simple: do you want to read it, or not? Is it an honourable tribute, or exploitation?
Do you care?!
Basically: is it a Yay or a Nay - and why?
[Don't forget it's Yay or Nay day at Hippyshopper, Bridalwave, Dollymix, Corrie Blog, Catwalk Queen, Kiss and Makeup, The Bag Lady, Shoewawa and Shiny Shiny, too!]

Nay. It just seems like exploitation to me (especially after reading that review). It sounds like Tina Brown doesn't really add anything to the "picture" we all have of Diana.

Yes, maybe if there was something genuinely fresh to say it would be better. And that pink colour just seems inappropriate... call me old-fashioned!

Nay. I'm with Melanie ~ it feels too much like exploitation.
