The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
So heads up, this book has very little in common with the movie.
So if you’re looking for the exact same plot line, don’t pick this up.
However if you’re looking for a fun read about a toxic boss, I highly recommend this book.
Andy gets a job as an assistant to the demanding (and probably mildly delusional) Miranda Priestly. It’s a job many girls would kill for.
Andy has no interest in fashion and certainly doesn’t fit in with the glamorous, skinny girls at work. But all she has to do is stick it out for a year.
But as time goes on, Miranda’s demands become more and more ridiculous and the job starts to take its toll on Andy’s life outside work.
I really related to the toxic work environment and loved that it was such an accurate portrayal of how a job can affect you mentally.
This book took me back to my first job after uni and surprisingly, it was a trip I really enjoyed

The Unemployed Bookworm’s January Book Haul
categories: Books
This is going to be my last book haul for a while since I’m…you know, unemployed (that word hurts me so much). Anyway here are my books for Jan:
There’s my regular SPCA finds (I’m going to miss the SPCA. Who’s going to help save the dogs???)
And then there’s my books from Bargain Books.
I just started Rebel of the Sands and it’s impossible to stop reading.
What books did you buy during Jan? I’d love to know below.
