Hi Everyone!
I have been compulsively going through my books; re-reading the best of them and even went out and purchased something new (by my favourite author; I actually cheered out loud, all by myself in WalMart, when I saw she had a new one out!) and devoured it in less than 24 hours. I am looking for a new read to pick up this weekend.
I have just finished The Flying Troutmans by Miriam Toews (awesome Canadian author - very colourful characters and a delight to read) She's also written A Complicated Kindness, The Summer of my Amazing Luck and A Boy of Good Breeding.
I also highly recommend any memoir written by Jen Lancaster (Bitter is the New Black, Bright Lights, Big ***, and Such A Pretty Fat) This woman makes me laugh my head off. She also has a blog at www.jensylvania.com. That last one is pretty much guaranteed get you through the diet thing with some side-splitting hysterics; she tries Atkins, Jenny, WW... personal trainers... she's fab. (Note: Jen, if you're reading this - I'll gladly, but humbly take a percentage of those sales peaks if you're so inclined!)
I'm really into anything that is going to make me laugh out loud. Memoirs and autobiographies are my flavour lately. I love learning about people and how they perceive their worlds.
So, come on everyone. Dish. What 'cha readin'????
BigLove, S.
