Silent Night/All Through the Night: Two Christmas Novels by Mary Higgins Clark(This is a great book to read when you can't take holiday cheer a minute longer.)
Somebody Is Going to Die If Lilly Beth Doesn't Catch That Bouquet: The Official Southern Ladies' Guide to Hosting the Perfect Wedding by Gayden MetcalfeHaving grown up in the South, I can attest to the fact that a LOT of this book's contents are accurate!
Breasts: The Owner's Manual: Every Woman's Guide to Reducing Cancer Risk, Making Treatment Choices, and Optimizing Outcomes by Dr. Kristi Funk(As I wrote in my review of this book: I hate that I had reason to read this, but am glad it was available. Dr Funk presented the information in an easy to understand manner and helped to alleviate A LOT of anxiety in the process. )
How to Boil Water: Life Beyond Takeout by Jennifer Darling(this is a great cookbook for beginners, and others. I gave a copy to my stepson when he got his first apartment...liked it so much I got myself a copy.)
The Color of Water: A Black Man's Tribute to His White Mother by James McBrideBeing biracial myself, this book touched me.
Practical Demonkeeping by Christopher Moore(I really enjoyed this book. Christopher Moore is a hoot as a writer.)
Fluke: Or, I Know Why the Winged Whale Sings by Christopher MooreI love Christopher Moore! THIS book got me kicked out of a gaming session- I was reading while my character was out of action, got to the whale sex scene (you'll just have to read it and see) and totally lost it.
The Stupidest Angel: A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror by Christopher MooreI'm in total agreement, Mickey!
(This was the first Moore book I read and I was hooked.)
Family Game Night and Other Catastrophes by Mary E. LambertThis was a good YA read. Girl tries to deal with her family falling apart due to her mother's hoarding AND keep it secret from the rest of the world.
The Space Hero's Guide to Glory by Nick HurwitchSilly but fun.
Ted, Celia Rivenbark (from post 7958) lives in my hometown. I met her several times at events when she was writing a column for the local paper. Super nice lady with a wicked sense of humor! And yes, I own all of her books. LOL

Propeller One-Way Night Coach: A Story by John Travolta(Cute, short book written by THE John Travolta and published 20 years ago for his children.)
A Midsummer Night's Faery Tale by Terri WindlingTerri Windling is one of my favorite fantasy authors/editors.
Magic in My Pocket: A Selection of Tales by Alison UttleyA favourite author as a child... Not sure how much she is read today.
The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury(Recent editions of this collection of connected short stories have been edited, aka "censored", but the earlier additions--1950s thru 1980s--contain what I consider my favorite scifi story. "August 2026: There Will Come Soft Rains" was inspired by a WWI-era poem written by Sara Teasdale. The poem and the story have had profound impact on me.)
Dear Fahrenheit 451: Love and Heartbreak in the Stacks: A Librarian's Love Letters and Breakup Notes to the Books in Her Life by Annie Spence
LOL. That's in the stack of books I'm taking on vacation with me!Makeup to Breakup: My Life In and Out of Kiss by Peter Criss
looks like you're loading up on humor books. enjoy!The Invisible Makeup Technique: Your Guide for a "no-makeup" look by Marina Andreas
The Cat Who Sniffed Glue by Lilian Jackson Braun(This was my first "The Cat Who" book. I enjoyed its light style so much I've now read nearly all 28 of Ms Braun's books.)
