If you've wondered over the course of this crazy year what would happen if you met up with that hot guy you've pined over for a few years but doh! Pandemic! "Worth the Weight" (Q for Quarantine #1) is definitely a tasty trip for you! Feisty Qyra manages to bump into college crush Josh at the checkout counter; and as sparks fly, there's a bit of a relationship cleanup needed in Aisle 7. Josh is cooking up a new version of his weight loss app--the same one Qyra used when she lost her pounds. Does he know about that? Will it matter? Uh oh.
But spoiler alert: this body positive romance has a nice balance of the smexy stuff and a HEA. Because of course it does.

and heck. if nothing else, reading this book will inform you who "you're so vain" is truly about ;-)...more
Now that BFL founder Bill Phillips has jumped off the EAS train and started a new company, it appears the company which brings you Myoplex and a host Now that BFL founder Bill Phillips has jumped off the EAS train and started a new company, it appears the company which brings you Myoplex and a host of other supplements has rephrased the original BFL book. This time, we follow two champions, one a Marine and one a daughter of a BFL Champion (who is also a personal trainer. Gee. Guess she'll succeed with that sort of training.)
The stories are interesting, and the tips from other BLF Champions are helpful at times. But frankly, there's a point where the book seems like a giant EAS ad. In short, if you're interested in BFL, read the original BFL and Eating for Life books. ...more

seriously. not. bitter. but if you are a parent dealing with kids who must become gluten-free, this is probably not the most helpful book. kids will not care a lot about truffle oil....more

still, for someone who royally screwed up his life, bonaduce is a MENSA-level thinker and an entertaining guy throughout it all. fun, though sad, read....more
