NEW TEXT CHALLENGE – YOUNG, LOADED & FABULOUS

Tristan Murray-Middleton from YOUNG, LOADED & FABULOUS loves nothing more than writing lyrics for his band's songs – now it’s your turn to put pen to paper and release your inner poet.

We want to see some lyrical wordage inspired by YLF – anything goes, from a limerick about a crush inspired by Tally’s crush on her teacher, to a rap about clothes inspired by Alice’s sense of style, it’s completely up to you – the best ones will go on display on The B Word!

We’ll give you plenty of time for this one so that you can read the book if you haven’t had the chance yet so the closing date is February 20th with the winners being announced the following week.

And of course there's a little prize up for grabs...at the the recent launch party for the book (check out the pictures here) we managed to blag two of the goodie bags that were being given to guests – we'll send one to each of the two winners.

Lisa Clark at pink-world asks 'Do you heart Gossip Girl? Er, hello, can I just say Dan Humphrey? Swoonsville. Have you read the books and watched your season one box set a gazillion times? If so, then I’m guessing you might be in need of a new glam-girl, label-crazy fix, right?
Well, get your manicured mitts on this, the most addictive, glamorous thing since…well…Gossip Girl. Young, Loaded & Fabulous by Kate Kingsley.'

All fabulous stuff!

B Involved - YOUNG, LOADED & FABULOUS

It's review time again and the B Involved team seem to be loving YOUNG, LOADED & FABULOUS - take a look at what they think so far:

What a brilliant book this is! Kate Kingsley's first book about Alice and Tally, 2 young, rich and popular girls, is flipping amazing!!One of the best books I have ever read, and I totally recommend it. One of those few books you find hard to put down and so I read it in 2 days!!If you liked Gossip Girl and The It Girl, you will certainly love this!!

YLF is a brilliant start to an addictive new series set in the UK. We are introduced to a group of instantly likeable teenagers, who are both realistic and outrageous. Alice is just about to figure out her feelings for her best friend T, when his ex-American girlfriend unexpectedly turns up - bringing with her a whole host of trouble for the British socialites.If you're a fan of Gossip Girl or The It Girl, then you'll love the YLF series. It's a fresh take on teen life and the author, Kate Kingsley, has written a contemporary story of love, scandal and friendship.I would highly recommend this book, and look forward to future installments.
