I love weekends, especially long weekends with Monday holidays attached.
Plenty of rest & relaxation...and reading!
This weekend I will be reading:
- Not Pretty Enough: The Unlikely Triumph of Helen Gurley Brown, by Gerri Hirshey
I was lucky enough to win this book in a Goodreads giveaway and I am thrilled to be able to read it. I developed my love of reading at a young age and read everything I could while growing up. I was the girl who would rather be reading than go out at night, and I still am. My mom is a booklover as well, and she has an extensive home library. One of the books I always remember seeing on her shelves when I was younger was Having it All by Helen Gurley Brown, then the editor of Cosmopolitan magazine. It was a guilty pleasure to read that book, but there were some wise words to be found in it. Helen Gurley Brown has always been fascinating in that she came from an extremely humble background and ended up becoming the editor-in-chief of one of the most well-known women's magazines in the world. I will be posting my review of this book next week--stay tuned!
- Blind Item, by Kevin Dickson & Jack Ketsoyan
I first read about this book on Goodreads--it came up as one of my recommended books. I read People magazine, and a couple other celebrity magazines on occasion, and have been known to visit PerezHilton.com once in a while. Celebrity scandals are pretty common these days, but that does not make them any less exciting to read about. This story follows Nicola, an assistant Hollywood publicist, as she mixes business with pleasure by dating a sexy movie star and quickly becomes a fixture of the celebrity scene that she writes about in her line of work. So excited to read this one as well, and will also be posting a review next week. I also think the cover is very inspired!
