Autumn Reading

The weather is getting colder, and the nights are getting longer. There's no better time to start settling down in the evening with a good book. Here is Twinkle's pick of the best reads out there...

Tony Blair: 'The Journey'
Love him or hate him (we at Twinkle HQ quite like him), we all want to know what went on behind number 10 during his years as Prime Minister. Get an insight into his decisions behind the Iraq war, and into his personal life behind that door.

















Sophie Kinsella: 'Mini Shopaholic'
Those who for years have enjoyed Sophie Kinsella's shopaholic series and who are desperate to find out what happens to Becky Brandon next, will love this latest novel in the series. Hilariously funny and heartfelt, this book is a must. Follow Becky and her mini-me on their latest adventures.















Sharon Marshall: 'Tabloid Girl'
This book is a hot read. Find out all the gossip behind infamous celebrity stories first hand from journalist Sharon Marshall; and discover what goes on behind the scenes on a tabloid newspaper. Be prepared to gasp and laugh.















Kelly Cutrone: 'If You Have To Cry, Go Outside...'

Grab a treat!

There is nothing in the world quite like a 'Hummingbird Bakery' cupcake (well that's what Twinkle thinks anyway).
Twinkle's favourite is the Red Velvet- a red vanilla sponge topped with a to-die-for cream cheese frosting.












There are three branches in London; and with different specials on every day, no two visits will be the same. On Fridays it's the Cola Cupcake, so head on down and get your fizz on!


They also have their own cookbook so you can have a go yourself.
