I'm Not the New Me 60 reviews Wendy McClure
Riverhead Trade, 2005
Honest, hilarious, addictive.
Wendy's book is way more honest about the ups and downs of weight loss than all the "nothing tastes as good as thin feels" b.s. I've read elsewhere. I laughed all the way through this. If you're looking for a weight-loss cheerleader this isn't the book for you, but if you want to hear what the ...

WASHINGTONIENNE, THE 94 reviews Jessica Cutler
Hyperion, 2006
Very Entertaining
+ A Perfect 10
I really enjoyed reading this book! I was so into it that it took me less than 48 hours to finish it. It is enjoyable and voyeuristic. I think a broad variety of women would enjoy this book.

Me Talk Pretty One Day 735 reviews David Sedaris
Back Bay Books, 2001
Do Not Read While Eating Because It's So Funny You Might Choke
+ David Sedaris does it again! + Not heartwarming... in a good way.
When I opened this book I had limited time so I decided to look for the shortest essay in the book so I could sneak in a quick read. I selected "Big Boy" which started on page 97 and ended before the next essay that started on page 100. By the end of the first paragraph I was already laughing and ...

Queen of the Oddballs: And Other True Stories from a Life Unaccording to Plan 42 reviews Hillary Carlip
Harper Paperbacks, 2006
Life: Go for it, baby!
+ Please Hillary -- Write Another One + Queen of Everything!
This Queen inspires us to cross the line between fantasy and action, to come alive, to unabashedly be who we really are. Her directness is endearing, her daring causes us to step up and stride right along with her. Hillary possesses a self-acceptance and giddiness that charms us into feeling ...

Diary of a Manhattan Call Girl: A Novel 65 reviews
Three Rivers Press, 2007
A Page Out of My Book
+ If you liked the column, you'll like the book + :)
While walking through the London (Gatwick) Airport, the title of this book beckoned me. Although I was 24 at the time, I did hide the title from my parents.
This book is entertaining and compelling. It is written in diary form, and the author experiences and details true to life dilemmas and ...

Tiny Ladies in Shiny Pants: Based on a True Story 23 reviews Jill Soloway
Free Press, 2005
Too much and yet not enough
I came to this book because I was a fan of Six Feet Under and Soloway of course was a writer for that great show. I don't know, perhaps I expected something more like the show instead of yet another book I feel like I've read too many times before.
Here was yet another entry in the genre of ...
