Thank you Full Time Mom for this tag. It was fun answering it! I'd like to share this tag with my friends ... Aneuk Nanggroe and MNG15 :))

At last, I've been able to finish reading The Luxe, and now I'm reading this book, Summer Confidential:Sunrise by Melissa J. Morgan. Let me show you a glimpse of this novel.

What could be more fun than a coed water-sports camp in Hawaii?

a. nothing

b. they have cute boys there, right?

c. anything that doesn’t involve water sports or boys

Cassie Hamilton is a professional surfer who also happens to be a total hottie. So why in the world is she so nervous about being a counselor-in-training at Camp Ohana this summer? She’s never been a genius in the social department, but that’s only part of it…Cassie has a deep dark secret. And if it ever got out, her summer, not to mention her life, would be completely ruined.

I'm not usually an i-love-novels-about-scandalous-elite-life type of reader before. To be honest, The Gossip Girl series didn't captivate me(although I love the TV series, i never bought the books). When I've read the glimpse of Anna Godbersen's The Luxe, I said to myself, "Why not give it a try?", I was urged to buy the book because it's not about the lives of the scandalous lives of the elites in Manhattan nowadays-coz it's too common already-but during the 1800's, and The Luxe didn't fail me. I absolutely fell in love with the story, and I'm sure to buy the sequel to this book.

So I did a little research about the brilliant author of the The Luxe Series but unfortunately, there is only a few information so I patched together the data that I've been able to find and here it is. I hope this short biography will help.


Anna Godbersen was born in Berkeley, California in 1980. She was educated at Barnard College in Manhattan, and currently lives in Brooklyn, New York.



She is the author of the The Luxe series, with The Luxe, the first book in the series,(her debut novel) which was published on 23 November 2007 by Harper Collins. It was followed by Rumors, and a third, Envy, was released in January 2009. A fourth book called Splendor, which concludes The Luxe series, will be published on October 27, 2009.



Anna Godbersen is the former literary editor's assistant at Esquire. She wrote weekly book reviews for the magazine's website and has written for The New York Times Book Review and The Chattahoochee Review, where she is a contributing editor.

Another book in my wishlist is The End of Forever by Lurlene McDaniel. The part of the glimpse that i've read that caught my eye was :

"Lurlene McDaniel explores the complexities not only of accepting unexpected
loss, but also of moving on to live and love again."

I'll let you read the whole preview so that just maybe, it would interest you to purchase a copy.

For sisters Amy and Erin, the night of their high school drama group’s cast party starts out as fun.

But their lives come crashing down when Amy takes the car to get more food and has a horrible accident. Now Amy lies somewhere between life and death.

Erin and her parents must find the courage to accept Amy’s life-support system will never bring her back. Can Amy’s dying become hope for someone else’s living?

The doctors assure Erin Bennett and her parents that they can’t find a physical cause for her headaches. But the throbbing, violent pain is so intense that Erin knows she needs help. Even landing the lead in the senior musical opposite David Devlin doesn’t give her much pleasure.

The headaches started just after the death of Erin’s younger sister, Amy. Erin thought her grieving was over. A therapist begins to help her deal with her pain, but what is it about David that triggers Erin’s violent reaction?

In these companion novels, now together in one volume, Lurlene McDaniel explores the complexities not only of accepting unexpected loss, but also of moving on to live and love again.

Anna Godbersen has finished the concluding novel to her The Luxe series, Splendor, and will be published this October 27, 2009. I hope it would be released here in the Philippines soon after it will be relesed at the States. :(

Another Anna Godbersen novel to devour, and I can't wait to get a copy and devour every page rich of controversy about Manhattan's elite who's lives we all would die to live. Another novel in The Luxe sequel, Envy.


Jealous whispers. Old rivalries. New betrayals. Two months after Elizabeth Holland's dramatic homecoming, Manhattan eagerly awaits her return to the pinnacle of society. When Elizabeth refuses to rejoin her sister Diana's side, however, those watching New York's favorite family begin to suspect that all is not as it seems behind the stately doors of No. 17 Gramercy Park South. Farther uptown, Henry and Penelope Schoonmaker are the city's most celebrated couple. But despite the glittering diamond ring on Penelope's finger, the newlyweds share little more than scorn for each other. And while the newspapers call Penelope's social-climbing best friend, Carolina Broad, an heiress, her fortune—and her fame—are anything but secure, especially now that one of society's darlings is slipping tales to the eager press. In this next thrilling installment of Anna Godbersen's bestselling Luxe series, Manhattan's most envied residents appear to have everything they desire: Wealth. Beauty. Happiness. But sometimes the most practiced smiles hide the most scandalous secrets…

Just remember, the richest among us hides the most comtroversial secrets.
