Good Grief by
Lolly Winston
When 36-year-old
Sophie Stanton's husband dies of cancer, she
desperately wants to be a graceful, composed
Jackie Kennedy kind of widow. Alas, Sophie is more
of a Jack Daniels kind. Self-medicating with
cartons of ice cream for breakfast, showing up to
work in her bathrobe and bunny slippers, soon
she's lost not only her husband, but her job and
her waistline. In an attempt to reinvent her life,
Sophie moves to Ashland, Oregon, where she finds
an embittered 13-year-old girl with a fascination
for fire, a job as Salad Girl at the local French
restaurant, and an alarmingly cute actor whom
Sophie wishes she didn't like quite so much. To

We
Thought You Would Be Prettier: True Tales of the
Dorkiest Girl Alive by Laurie
Notaro
She thought she'd have
more time. Laurie Notaro figured she had at least
a few good years left. But no-it's happened. She
has officially lost her marbles. From the kid at
the pet-food store checkout line whose coif is so
bizarre it makes her seethe "I'm going to kick his
hair's ass!" to the hapless Sears customer-service
rep on the receiving end of her Campaign of
Terror, no one is safe from Laurie's wrath. Her
cranky side seems to have eaten the rest of
her-inner-thigh Chub Rub and all. And the results
are breathtaking. To purchase a copy, please click
