Introducing Sarah Painter

Sarah_webIf you're observant, you've probably noticed that, since Diane left Trashionista, we've had a few different reviewers. So I thought I'd introduce them. Writing for Trashi every day (along with me) is Sarah Painter.

Favourite chick lit book: Heartburn by Nora Ephron or High Fidelity by Nick Hornby.

Favourite chick lit author: This has got to Jennifer Crusie. I love her characters, her humour, and the worlds she creates. In fact, I'd like to live in one... 

Favourite fictional heroine: I would find it very difficult to play favourites with a Crusie heroine, so I'm going to plump for Buffy. Yes, the vampire slayer. Yes. I am a geek.

Favourite non chick lit book: Impossible to choose just one. You have a gun? Okay, then... A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving. Or Wonder Boys by Michael Chabon. Or Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman. Or The Magician's Assistant by Ann Patchett. Bang! Oops.

Do you have a theme song? I listen to music specific to the book when I'm writing - so at the moment it's lots of Elvis and Johny Cash. Theme song for real life would be Moving On Up by Primal Scream.

Thanks, Sarah!

    Probably impeccable taste. Apologies for being silly and welcome once again.

  • Sarah Painter

    Slayer. Of course; why didn&#39t I think of that?!

  • Matthew

    Welcome! Buongiorno! Ola! etc.



    What made you choose a Primal Scream song? If you listen and accidentally start to dance like Bobby Gillespie, wouldn&#39t it make you feel like you&#39ve suffered a stroke rather than wake you up in the morning?



    You should have gone for Reign in Blood by Slayer.



    Okay. Maybe not.

    Thanks Luisa! That&#39s the only picture out of about 100 attempts where I wasn&#39t: A. Gurning B. Blinking C. Blurred because I was laughing. Ho hum.

  • Excellent! Hello, Sarah! It&#39s great to read all about you and see your pic. I love your reviews!
