Ohhh I read Still Alice and The Bookstore last year. Both are great reads, in very different ways. There was a character I loved to hate in The Bookstore – made things interesting. 😉

Yes, when I first read Wickham (Sleeping Arrangements), I wasn’t even aware that she was the alter-ego of Sophie Kinsella. I have enjoyed this version of her. I have been wanting to read Still Alice for quite awhile.
