Book Description
Publication Date: July 3, 2012
Actors aren’t the only ones trying to make it in Hollywood.…At twenty-three, Ruth Saunders left her childhood home in Massachusetts and headed west with her seventy-year-old grandma in tow, hoping to make it as a screenwriter. Six years later, she hits the jackpot when she gets The Call: the sitcom she wrote, The Next Best Thing, has gotten the green light, and Ruthie’s going to be the showrunner. But her dreams of Hollywood happiness are threatened by demanding actors, number-crunching executives, an unrequited crush on her boss, and her grandmother’s impending nuptials.
Set against the fascinating backdrop of Los Angeles show business culture, with an insider’s ear for writer’s room showdowns and an eye for bad backstage behavior and set politics, Jennifer Weiner’s new novel is a rollicking ride on the Hollywood roller coaster, a heartfelt story about what it’s like for a young woman to love, and lose, in the land where dreams come true.

Book Giveaway-you pick the title!

We had a really interesting book discussion today at the library. The book was from a new to me author Heather Gudenkauf and the book was The weight of silence. If you Are looking for a good suspense I would highly recommend this title. However the storyline may be a little hard to take with child abuse and with what happens two of the little girls in the story. My members all really enjoyed Heather's writing style even though the story touches on some really tough topics.
Anyway I thought this would be a good time for another contest. This book is out as a movie and was written by an auto buy author of mine Nicholas Sparks. It is called "The Lucky One".
I also have an Advanced Reader Edition of Anne Tylers "The Beginner's Goodbye"

May 16th - WOW post

Joining Jill at Breaking the Spine for her weekly Wednesday Meme.. Waiting on Wednesday were we post the books that we are patiently or not so patiently looking for at the library or at the store. Guess what?? I am so excited my kids went together and got me a Kindle Fire for Mothers Day. I was so happy and I am just getting into using it. This week I have picked a book by a favorite author of mine, Luanne Rice that is coming out in a few weeks. Here is a little bit about it...

An emotionally gripping family drama from beloved New York Times bestseller Luanne Rice Clare Burke’s life took a devastating turn when she tried to protect her sister, Anne, from an abusive and controlling husband and ended up serving prison time for assault. The verdict largely hinged on Anne’s defense of her spouse—all lies—and the sisters have been estranged ever since. Nearly twenty years later, Clare is living a quiet life in Manhattan as an urban birder and nature blogger, when her niece, Grit, turns up on her doorstep. The two long for a relationship with each other, but they’ll have to dig deep into their family’s difficult past in order to build one. Together they face the wounds inflicted by Anne and find in their new connection a place of healing. When Clare begins to suspect her sister might be in New York, she and her niece hold out hope for a long-awaited reunion with her. A riveting story about women and the primal, tangled family ties that bind them together, Little Night marks a milestone for Luanne Rice—the thirtieth novel from the author with a talent for creating stories that are "exciting, emotional, terrific" (The New York Times Book Review).
