Book Review: Confessions of a Prairie Bitch

I went through a phase when I was a kid where I was obsessed with Little House on the Prairie. I read all the books multiple times and watched the show daily. It was in syndication by that point and my sister and I used to really like watching it after school. We also liked [...]

Book Review: Did You Know Rick Springfield is Australian?

When I was offered the chance to review Rick Springfield’s memoir Late Late At Night I thought, what the hell? Before getting this book I knew three things about Rick Springfield: He sang “Jessie’s Girl”; He was on General Hospital; His real last name is Springthorpe. For some reason my sister and I had read [...]

Book Reveiw: Kristin Chenoweth’s Memoir

There was a time when only hard-core musical theatre geeks would have recognized Kristin Chenoweth’s name and we probably would have brightly yelled “I LIKE it!” if we’d heard it mentioned. Then we might have started singing the rest of her song “My Philosophy” from You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown. Which is explains why [...]

Commence “Operation Kardashian”

The Kardashian sisters have a book coming out in November. If you are a legitimate writer with, you know, talent, I’ll give you a minute to pull yourself out of the pit of despair you have undoubtedly fallen into. OBVIOUSLY I must get my hands on a copy of this book. Because it contains Kardashian [...]

Letter to Tori Spelling

Dear Tori, I feel like we’ve become close in recent months, what with me reading your books and watching the most recent season of Tori & Dean. In fact, I just read you latest book Uncharted TerriTori over the weekend so I feel really up to date on your goings on. I was going to [...]

What I’m Reading Now: Steig Larsson’s Trilogy

I am writing this review before finishing the final book in the series which is difficult partly because I don’t know if the ending of the trilogy will be satisfactory and also because I am rushing through the review to get back to reading the final book.  I’m actually mad at myself right now because [...]

Book Review: Kendra Wilkison’s Memoir

Some of you may have followed the saga of me trying to get my hands on a free copy of Sliding Into Home by Kendra Wilkinson with Jon Warech, a real professional writer who I hope got paid a LOT of money to put up with Kendra’s giggle). You can read all the letters I [...]

This’ll only hurt for a minute…

Have you read Emily Giffin’s wonderful two-book set Something Borrowed and Something Blue? The first book is the story of a woman who wakes up after a drunken night wherein she slept with her best friend’s fiance.  In the second book, we see the conclusion of the best friend’s story. The two books dovetail beautifully [...]

“Official Book Club Selection” by Kathy Griffin

I’m going to come clean right at the outset here: I don’t love Kathy Griffin.  I’m sure this is a bit surprising because I love cussing and making fun of celebrities and she does both of those things prodigiously.  She’s also a favorite among gay guys and I’m usually a big fan of things gay [...]

The Book I Should be Writing

I’m in the middle of If You Knew Suzy by Katherine Rosman.  The book is a memoir of a reporter’s investigation of her mother after her untimely death from cancer.  Close though Rosman was to her mother, by calling people from her mother’s address book in the years after her death, she found there was [...]
