May is a wonderful time for books - there are so many new publications to choose from - if you like books it's party season.

Book to screen adaptations always make me slightly nervous, especially when it’s a book I really love. Will it look the way I imagined it? Will the casting match the characters I had in my mind? Or will they rewrite the ending? That said, it is also big business, and one that shows no signs of slowing down. Rights to books are being snapped up faster than directors can call “that’s a wrap” on their current projects. May sees the return of The Devil Wears Prada and I thin
