What I 'm reading these days

I just got two new books from the Springfield public library. I would like to quickly state that I LOVE the library. The Springfield library is amazing, they have so many really great and fun books. It is so cheap and there are so many locations to choose from. I enjoy reading, especially in the summertime, (who doesn't love a good book while laying by the pool) but I am trying to start the year off right.
 So here is what I am currently reading.


Classy by Dereck Blasberg- My friend Jessica told me the other day that I simply had to read this funny book, so I reserved it and even though I just started it I have to admit it is HILARIOUS! I think many of you will appreciate this read, it is super witty and cheeky. Below is a description of the book. I suggest you pick it up.

This guide provides wise yet hip advice on how an "extremely modern" young woman can be a lady and avoid being a "tramp," but it is so much more. Can she learn how to travel overseas or attend social events in style? Check. Can she learn to plan a wonderful dinner party, complete with correct place settings? Check. Can she learn how to avoid the wrong guy, drinking too much, cigarettes, or drugs without being a nerd? Check. Can she learn proper social customs and etiquette, and how to be a great friend? Check. She can also gain sound advice about these and myriad other important elements of life, including sensible dressing, successfully handling relationships, being knowledgeable about the world, and making good personal choices. Quotes from famous people savvy about the ins and outs of each subject addressed, plus catchy color photos and pertinent captions, add interest and flavor to the extremely upbeat and thought-provoking chapters. Humorous "self-tests" and their results reinforce the points being made.



Uncharted Territori by Tori Spelling  Tori Spelling is a very random celebrity. I had heard that her books were funny so I decided to try them. This book is pretty cute so far. She has a couple other books and if this one goes well I might try to read them. I really want to read the book by her mom. I heard it is really juicy-- so that will be on my poolside reading list.


Tori finally has everything she thought she wanted—a loving family and a successful career—but trying to live a normal life in Hollywood is a little weird. With the irresistible wit, attitude, and humor that fans have come to love, the New York Times bestselling author of sTORI telling and Mommywood is back with more hilarious, heartwarming, and candid stories of juggling work, marriage, motherhood, and reality television cameras.
Tori comes clean about doing her time on jury duty, stalking herself on Twitter, discovering her former 90210 castmates’ "I Hate Tori" club, contracting swine flu, and contacting Farrah Fawcett from the dead. Like many mothers, she struggles to find balance (Stars, they’re just like us!)—only most women don’t have to battle it out with paparazzi at the grocery store. She talks openly about the darker side of life in the spotlight: media scrutiny over her weight and her marriage to Dean McDermott, her controversial relationship with Dean’s ex-wife, and her unfolding reconciliation with her mother.
