bookshelves: 2009-reads, bios-auto-memoirs, comedy
Fun lessonettes written in Kathie Lee style (witty, satirical, semi-obnoxious but still light) and short chapters make this a good bedtime or travel book. Kathie Lee fans will enjoy, nonfans should probably skip it.

bookshelves: 2009-reads, bios-auto-memoirs
Wacky hormones and everyday stress can definitely play havoc in one’s life. Never went through PPD but currently dealing (or not dealing) with menopause and its ups and downs. Good read for busy, overworked and stressed-out women (covers most of us, doesn’t it?).

bookshelves: 2009-reads, fiction

Funny, charming, gory, romantic, crazy… and addicting. Not into zombie books, but I loved this book, even found myself cheering for the zombies.

bookshelves: 2009-reads, bios-auto-memoirs
Michael is definitely an inspiration. He’s also a fine writer. The title of the book was a little deceiving, though - It was a little heavier than I expected, especially the chapter on politics; it was too long and a little dry. I enjoyed the book, though, and have a lot of respect for him.

bookshelves: 2009-reads, fiction
Even though I’m not in the chick-lit age group, I have to admit, I enjoy these type of books. Entertaining and juicy, SPIN took me from my ‘mom, baby boomer world’ into the highfalutin, glamorous and cut-throat world of New York’s elite. If you liked SEX AND THE CITY (the series - never read the book) and DEVIL WEARS PRADA, you’ll probably enjoy SPIN. A fun, easy and fast read.
