Recently, the library extended it's services to e-readers, so I can download a book to my iPad with a click of a button, all from the comforts of home. This is where, in early March, my fling behavior began.

I read the entire memoir in a matter of hours and the best part? No one had to know!

This lead me down a Kennedy reading path, including but not limited to "Fairy Tale Interrupted by RoseMarie Terenzio", "Come to the Edge" by Christina Haag, and "Once Upon a Secret" by Mimi Alford, all about the various John Kennedy's.



Oh, but these books with their drama, intrigue, opulence and death, make for some damn good reading. And there you have it. My Spring Fling Confessional. I know you have your own book confessions. Won't you share in the comments section, if only to make a girl feel less alone?

Melissa, I love this! I've never read a memoir before, but I think I'll have to start immediately!!
ReplyDeleteOh, Brenda! You are missing out!
ReplyDeleteMelissa,
ReplyDeleteFirst the Playboy mansion and now this? Really, truly, I am shocked. Let's see--as for memoir lovers I've read Open by Andre Agassi, Stories I Tell My Friends by Rob Lowe, Every Love is A Ghost Story by D.T. Max, attempted Life by Keith Richards but didn't complete--oh! Oh! LOVED Everybody Wants Some: The Van Halen Saga by Ian Christie.

Yay! I don't feel so alone! Thanks, Maggie!
ReplyDeleteI can't remember the title of the last memoir I read, so that means it's been too long since I've opened one. Thanks for reviving my interest...I heard Portia de Rossi talk about hers on Ellen's show, and it was on my to buy list. I've also not thought about ebooks and the library. A double hitter today, Melissa.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
A double hitter? Awesome! library+e-books=joy!
