My Candy Machine

Aha! I finally found it at Marina Square on Sunday - the really cute candy machine I saw on Ashley's desk before. Gideon insists it's for him and I had to yank it back from him, literally. I DID let him take a picture with it... :-)

"Perfect Strangers" by Robyn Sisman - 2 strangers who've never met fall in love tbrough an unusual twist of fate. Working for the same ad agency, an exchange programme of sorts saw them swap homes. Suze, a typical Londoner found herself in New York while Lloyd, a suave New York Creative Director took over Suze's apartment in London. A great read on the train on your way to the office. Gives a pretty accurate picture of office politics and how is it some people get where they are even though you're convinced they have "nothing up there".
"The Hotel On The Roof Of The World" by Alec Le Sueur - a book all hoteliers can easily identify with. Alec spent five years at the Holiday Inn in Tibet after an impulsive decision during an interview. The story is likened to Fawlty Towers; hilarious yet very real. Perpetual disagreements between F&B and Kitchen; strange GMs and odd staff culture all rolled into one at this Lhasa hotel. If you're searching for this book, look under "Travel".
"Who Moved My Blackberry" by Martin Lukes - a hilarious look at office politics told entirely through Martin's (a Director of Marketing) blackberry messages, emails and SMS(es).
"Everyone Worth Knowing" by Lauren Weisenberger (author of The Devil Wears Prada) - a delightful read especially for the PR person. About a gal who moved from banking and enters New York's chic, party-planning circle.
"From Altoids to Zima" by Evan Morris - Surprising stories behind Famous brand names like Motorola, Lego and Yahoo.
"How to Talk to Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere" by Larry King - great advice if you find yourself tongue tied during any occasion.
"The Bad Mother's Handbook" by Kate Long - for the working mother who thinks her world is turning upside down; take heart.
