:: book club ::

June 23, 2015

I haven’t had much time to read lately, between watching endless hours of television, spending too much money on our trip to Italy (no such thing!), and seeing if anyone updated anything on instagram for the 5th time that day, 
but I’ll be flying home this upcoming weekend so I know I will finally be able to finish The Liar and I can’t wait.   I’ve loved it so far. 
There are so many books on the must-read list, but I always have a hard time deciding what genre to go to next.  Serious, chick-lit, suspenseful, non-fiction? 
The one thing that I have grown to love over the last few years is celebrity autobiographies.
Clearly if you read this blog, this should come as no shock that reading about celebrities intrigues me, but its more that I read about people whom I really know nothing about;  people who I of course know what they are famous for, but did not know anything about their past life.  This mainly applies to people of my parents generation where I can’t believe I didn’t know all these certain things about them that everyone did when they were younger stars. 
I think that Andre Agassi’s book Open was my first celebrity autobiography and I loved it.
I’ve read all of Chelsea Handlers and laughed so, so hard.
I’ve written before about how I read Rob Lowe’s book and could not put it down.  I really liked how each chapter was its own kind of story but that it was also a full book that kept you turning the pages.


I did Bethenny’s book A Place of Yes on tape when I used to commute and really enjoyed it, but whom I now have an even harder time with because it’s liiiiiiiike you seriously need to be a grown up and can’t keep blaming everything on your horribly sad and messed up childhood.

Especially after reading her first book and always watching her shows, I find it very strange that in the midst of this huge, horrible divorce she releases a second book called I Suck At Relationships So You Don’t Have To: 10 Rules for Not Screwing Up Your Happily Ever After.



How can she be writing about not screwing up your happily ever after when she has done nothing but that her entire adult life (all she talks about in earlier books) and despite a lifetime of therapy keeps doing it?
Huh? I know I’m hard on her lately because she keeps pissing me off so much but I seriously think that is the weirdest thing ever.  Ever. ‘haha I’m bad at relationships so lets make an ironic book about it haha’.  I seriously don’t get it? 


Obviously I read both of my -boyfriend-Andy-Cohen’s books (Most Talkative & The Andy Cohen Diaries)  faster than anything and just adored them.  Devoured them.  Would totally re-read them.



These are the books I blow through the fastest and love every minute. There are so many I still haven’t gotten to, and I think they will make for some perfect easy summer reading.

Candice Bergen      Brooke Shields      Jane Fonda
I have no shame in my obsession with J. Lo and Jane Fonda. 
I can’t explain it, but I’m obsessed. Judge all you want, my best friend is very disappointed in me for my J. Lo love. 

Jennifer Lopez

and then some comic relief as well…… all must-reads that I still have not read!

    Amy Poehler                         Mindy Kaling                         Lena Dunham                            


I meannnnn is it wrong that I would even read Holly Madison’s book at this point?
yes….. yes it is…….horrifyingly wrong.  



soooo I know everyone is saying The Good Girl should be next on the list after reading Gone Girl and Girl on the Train which I have, but other than that, what else are your top picks?

And for those of you that read The Good Girl, is it as good as everyone is saying?

    I just finished Girl On The Train and while I did love it and finish it within 2 days, I found it to be super similar to Gone Girl. Loving this list and still trying to decide what I'll check out next!

    i pre-ordered the holly madison book. so if that makes you disappointed in yourself that you just wanted to read it, where do i stand? sorry, not sorry!

    I just read We Were Liars by E. Lockhart and loved it.

    Haven't read Good Girl, but just finished Queen of the Tearling and Dark Places (Gone Girl author) and now waiting to read Invasion of the Tearling and Sharp Objects. So so much to read!!!!

    Mindy Kaling's book is so, so funny. Had me crying real tears I was laughing so hard. I thought it was even funnier than Tina Fey's.

    We are kindred souls. I love celebrities and reading about them. I also share an odd love for Jlo I want to not like her but I do. Loved Rob Lowe's book it was good. I am shocked I have not read my boy Andy's books- like shocked. Downloading on my kindle today. So jealous of your trip!! It will be all kinds of fabulous!

My favorite part of this easy DIY how-to, is that tou can customize the look with paint color and different metal sheet patterns to match your home decor and aesthetic. I actually used leftover supplies from my DIY built-in shelf and desk in my home office to create this look. It helps elevate the space, adding a touch of elegance and a refined finish without breaking the bank. It was easy and affordable to create this custom look for less. Click to shop the DIY project supplies on Amazon. Note: I used scrap wood I had on hand for the project, but you can also pick up 1x2 wood planks from Amazon or a local hardware or craft store. #ad #Amazon #DIY
