Book Confessions, 2011.
Hi, I'm Pam and I'm a junk-book-aholic. When I go into my local library and see this kind of trash on the shelf of new books I just can't help myself. Is this a waste of time? Not really. I feel like I learned a tiny bit about what it's like to be a teenager in Alaska. I'd like to say that it's a new year's resolution to stop reading self-serving, badly written memoirs but I can't. Speaking of resolutions, last year's attempt to improve my habits was a bust. I sort of managed to accomplish three of my 12 resolutions (I stopped buying soft drinks, I didn't start knitting any new scarfs, and I reduced by a tiny, tiny bit my yak-yak-yakking), but I'm not sure I'm even going to write up a list this year. Converting my room of horrors into a guest bedroom is my only resolution.

Oh, FUN! I adore this post.I love me a good brassiere buster or Regency romance at times. Mindless fluff with a happy ending. They don't make it into my sidebar on my blog though. :)
Well, I got through George Hamilton's autobiography and . . . liked it.
You read them so your friends and readers don't have to. THANK YOU.
You and my friend, Peanut, would get along famously. You're both voracious readers of the good stuff, but with a weakness for trash. It's all about balance.
The cover of Levi's book is absolutely hilarious--was that a determining factor in your interest? Another pic might have been one when he appeared on stage, with all the Palins and the McCains, shortly after he knocked up Bristol Palin, and just as the campaign was heating up.
Yes, Anne, the cover was part of the appeal of the book. Levi said that on his way to that stage appearance you mentioned the limo he was in (or was it a big black SUV?) had to pull over THREE times so he could throw up. It's hard to know what to believe in these kinds of books -- well, actually, in ANY kind of book -- but I'm thinking this probably really happened because it's not exactly a manly thing to admit.
I actually feel sorry for both of these kids. They didn't ask to become center stage, and they don't seem to have anything resembling parental guidance.
