five by five (part 2)
Another 25. That's 50!
Well, it appears that (like me), people do generally enjoy a good list. or even a bad one. Or even a selection of irrelevant ones!
My last post of five lists of five things about me has generated a little flurry of activity views-wise. So I thought I’d do another one!
Enjoy! (Or don’t).

about me, lists
I love comments and will generally answer any that are left - so please do leave one!
Just a normal girl
I recently turned 40 (eek - how did THAT happen?) I'm a Londoner - mother, lover and little kitty owner.
I do the normal London things. I'm really just pretty run-ofthe-mill!

Absolutely love four of your five artists but haven’t heard of Nouvelle Vague. Shall have to rectify post haste!
I used to adore Douglas Coupland but tried re-reading Shampoo Planet the other day and couldn’t. Could it be that I’ve changed or grown up or something??? Or was it just that the novel was so right ten or so years ago?
I quite enjoyed the Carl Hiaasen novel I read. I shall have to explore your other authors.
Nouvelle Vague are unique. Being French for ‘new wave’, they do cover versions of all the new wave hits, but in bossa nova breathy french accents.
I must admit, I have never ‘re-read’ a Coupland – but I have always loved them when i’ve read them. especially All Families Are Psychotic.
