Keeper Shelf Monday: Fat Cat by Robin Brande

A while ago I started hearing all this buzz about this book, Fat Cat by Robin Brande. Full of romance and comedy and cool science….OK, I’ll bite. But then I heard that it also involved a heroine’s experience being “the fat girl” as well as her experience trying to get healthy. That’s when I REALLY […]

What I’m Hating Right Now

Last week I posted about a few things I’m loving right now. To balance things out, here are a few things I’m hating at the moment:

At least, not every 3.6 minutes. 2) I will brush, or at the very least attempt to style, my hair before book signings. 3) I will not put my name in Technorati.com or Google Blog Search to see what people are saying about […]

Boobs
