  • High Society by Donald Spoto

    I much prefer memoirs to biographies. Her story is incredible, but this biography was dry.

  • Smash Cut by Sandra Brown

    What’d I just say? She writes a good (and damn steamy) yarn.

  • Soul Cravings by Erwin Raphael McManus

    Not my cup of tea. Doesn’t mean you won’t like it.

  • Dry by Augusten Burroughs

    Fantastic, as expected. There’s a reason I keep reading his books.

  • Struck By Lightning

    Manipulation and black mail. All the best things about high school. Add in Rebel Wilson and Chris Colfer and it’ll do.

  • Half Broke Horses by Jeannette Walls

    Her grandma reminds me of my own… strong, resourceful, a good shot and a horse woman. Loved it.

  • Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs

    Hilarious, twisted, shocking, and totally worth it. The movie was less impressive.

  • The Addams Family

    Classic from my childhood. Holds up well. Comedic gold over twenty years later. Let your kids watch it. Watch it with them.

  • In the Skin of a Lion by Michael Ondaatje

    My first encounter with Ondaatje. Poetic language, almost too many voices. I loved it.
