Sookie Stackhouse is a small-time cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana. She’s quiet, keeps to herself, and doesn’t get out much - not because she’s not pretty - she’s a very cute bubbly blonde - or not interested in a social life. She really is …but Sookie’s got a bit of a disability. She can read minds. And that doesn’t make her too dateable. And then along comes Bill: he’s tall, he’s dark and he’s handsome - and Sookie can’t ‘hear’ a word he’s thinking. He’s exactly the type of guy she’s been waiting all her life for. But Bill has a disability of his own: he’s fussy about his food, he doesn’t like suntans and he’s never around during the day …Yep, Bill’s a vampire. Worse than that, he hangs with a seriously creepy crowd, with a reputation for trouble - of the murderous kind. And then one of Sookie’s colleagues at the bar is killed, and it’s beginning to look like Sookie might be the next victim …

When Myleene Klass discovered she was pregnant, her initial joy was quickly replaced by fear the moment she read her first pregnancy book. It was full of ‘don’t do this, don’t do that’ - and Myleene was terrified that she had already endangered her baby’s life. Every book she read after wards was either too technical or too fluffy - none of them described how she was really feeling, and she felt very isolated. “My Bump and Me” is about everything Myleene did ‘wrong’ during her pregnancy, how her hormones turned her into a woman she hardly recognized, and how incredible it feels to be expecting a baby. From conception to birth - via morning sickness, raging hormones, cravings, baby names, sex, sleepless nights, opinionated in-laws, ‘bump envy’, and the labor itself - Myleene offers practical advice, essential medical information, and an honest account of what’s in store for anyone with a baby on the way.
