What Have You Done for Me Lately?

I'm obsessed with the show Chelsea Lately (that is, if I can hold my eyes open that late at night). The show is hosted by Chelsea Handler, who is so hilarious. It takes a real sense of humor to relate to hers, and I just love it! She is so dry and raunchy, despite her pulled together sophisticated look. I think what I love most about her show is she says exactly what I'm thinking...and doesn't care who she offends. I'm anxious to read her latest book, "Are You There Vodka, It's Me, Chelsea," but I've been on the library waiting list for approx. 2 months now.

I'm A Readin' Fool!

I've always loved books - guess that's what happens when your Mom was a library science major, was a librarian for many years, and is on the Board of Trustees for the City of Anaheim libraries! Anyhow, I've recently discovered that I've had more time on my hands than normal (thanks to an economic recession & not spending money to go out), so I've officially become a library card holder, once again. Because of this, I've been able to enjoy some new authors I've been wanting to "test" out, and have been pleasantly surprised. One such author is Stephanie Meyer. Her books are highly acclaimed, and have a vampire theme. By no means is this a genre I would've ever explored, but now I'm hooked. I blasted my way through the 500-page book in two nights, and am looking forward to the next installment.

Other fun and light reads are from authors Mary Kay Andrews, Lauren Weisberger, Emily Giffin & Chelsea Handler.

More serious reads, but worth the time are from Khaleid Hossein and Alice Sebold.

So, if you're looking for a way to kill a couple of hours, escape from the stress of the day, and simply enrich your mind...pick up a book!
