It's been awhile since I've done a round-up of recent books I've read, so here are a few for your reading pleasure.
It's been awhile since I've read a memoir as gripping as 'In the Mirror'. Written in a clear, forthright style, Ann Best's life story unfolds in a seamless manner, avoiding the mundane and tangents some non-fiction falls prey to. Dealing with not only her husband's homosexual affairs but also a tragic car accident and her second husband's alcoholism, one would expect a certain amount of self-pity to be present. But, in fact, it's nowhere to be seen. Instead, Ann gives us insight into a strong, brave woman who has coped and persevered -- and overcome.
Fun and fresh, it's a great read about finding what's important and hanging onto it.
Read this. Now.
Love. Cupcakes! Need I say more?
And a big thank you to Christine at the Imagination Station for her review of The Hating Game today! Much appreciated - mwah!
(Book links coming soon, after I throw-up. First run back after three months away... and I'm feeling the exercise-nausea.)
