Hooking Up with Tila Tequila by Tila Tequila with Sarah Tomlinson 2/3/09

Boy, do I wish I’d been the one to get this gig.  How fun would it have been to write a book with Tila Tequila?
I admit it – I’m a fan.  I loved “A Shot at Love” (both seasons) and I think Tila is just a darling.  This book only reinforced that image.
Overall, it’s a [...]

Cash in the City by Juliette Farley 07/13/08

I can’t remember why this was on my To Read list.  It’s a very basic primer on how to manage money and all that.  I think I could have written a more practical approach, but then lots of people think they can write books and can’t  It’s good if you’re a young woman, just starting [...]
