Things that make us go "squeal!"

Yesterday, a book arrived that made me squeal with glee. Which reminded me that I've written that very thing on Trashionista a few times over the - gasp! - years.

So I thought I'd have a quick look at the things/authors/books that have made us go "sqeeee!" An excitement overview, if you like.

Our interview with Marian Keyes had a *squeal* in the title, but interviews with Jodi Picoult and Jenny Crusie were (almost) equally thrilling.

Books-wise, Hadley Freeman's The Meaning of Sunglasses caused excitement, but was ultimately disappointing. Far from disappointing was Jen Lancaster's Such a Pretty Fat.

So what made me squeal this time? Eloisa James's An Affair Before Christmas. And what made me squeal even more was that my review of Desperate Duchesses is quoted. Well, misquoted. You can't have everything.

Which authors or books are likely to make you squeal? And has anything on Trashionista? (I remember a certain frisson when Meg Cabot commented!)

Things that make us go "squeal!" - Comments

  • When the new Maeve Binchy unexpectedly arrived in the post a month or so ago - I think I may have emitted a squeal type sound.



    Meeting Meg Cabot and Tess Geritsen also has to go up there on the list...

  • Nina

    When the release date of the last Harry Potter book was released I didn&#39t just squeal - I danced with joy!!!

    Getting the latest Meg Cabot book does have the squeal-factor!

  • Jenny Crusie makes me squeal in delight. The first time I ever went to a book signing she was the main attraction. I brought my favorite book of hers, Tell Me Lies and she told me it was one of her favorites too, then complimented my on my dress. THEN she wrote in my book cover: To Emily, who has excellent tastes ... made my year!



    Others who I really love hearing/seeing/reading about: Julia Quinn, Eloisa James, Maeve Binchy, Meg Cabot, Sophie Kinsella

  • Meg Cabot on Trashionista, definitely. That was a squealing highlight for me.



    And interviewing Meg Cabot. Double, triple squeal! :)
