I have been nerding it up lately, what with spending a ton of time working at the library and eschewing Friday nights on the town for cuddling up with a good book. But this places me in a newly-minted position suggest some good reads. Below is an eclectic bunch, from newbies to classics, beach reads to slightly-more-serious, mysteries to self-help. Enjoy!
1) Four or five people recommended new bestseller The Help by Kathryn Stockett
2) My brother’s girlfriend’s favorite book ever is JD Salinger’s Franny & Zooey, a book I’ve never read. It’s on my to-read list.
3) I love KENDRA on E! and watched her “write” her book with a ghostwriter, so I can’t wait to read the thing: Sliding Into Home
4) My intern loved People’s Revolution guru Kelly Cutrone’s If You Have to Cry, Go Outside: And Other Things Your Mother Never Told You
5 & 6) Sloane Crosley’s How Did You Get This Number
7 & 8) I don’t know much about Just Don’t Call Me Ma’am: How I Ditched the South, Forgot My Manners, and Managed to Survive My Twenties with (Most of) My Dignity Still Intact
9) I hated her Devil Wears Prada book but loved the movie based on her story, so I can hardly skip Lauren Weisberger’s next novel, Last Night at Chateau Marmont: A Novel
10) The Last Summer (of You and Me)
