Perfection by Julie Metz

Perfection, out this month, is a memoir in which the writer's life reaches the kind of lows you think can only be found in fiction: "Six months after his death, Julie discovered that her husband of 12 years, the man who loved her and their six-year-old daughter ebulliently and devotedly, had been unfaithful throughout their marriage, going so far as to conduct an ongoing relationship with one of Julie's close friends."

Oooh Commencement looks really good, I'll have to check it out! and Sophie Kinsella/Madeline Wickham has certainly been busy, eh?

Jodi Picoult is my favorite author. I've read all her books. My Sisters Keeper has become a movie. It comes out really soon. She always has an issue to question ourselves within the plot. The issue in My Sister's Keeper deals with having a baby to provide stem cells, blood, kidneys, or whatever to save the life of an existing child.

Jennifer Weiner is an absolutely great author...she's in the chick-lit genre for sure but it's a little more punchy and her books are a little more deep than Sophie Kinsella and others (whom i also love)if you've never read one of Jennier Weiner's, but are interested in a light girlie read, check it out...but make sure to read Good in Bed before Certain Girls, and make sure you know that the Boy Not Taken is short stories, not a novel
