Crib Notes-Bite Sized Life...Lessons

Who doesn’t want the epiphanies of their life to come in short and snappy bites?  No long meandering road of blah blah blah to get to the point of it all, no building of a clock to tell you the time, just a one or two liner and bam…enlightenment!

LOVE IS ALL AROUND – PAULA BERNSTEN

What women of a certain age wouldn’t want Mary Tyler Moore to dispense her wisdom on getting by?? In addition to insightful advice, the reader is rewarded with pop cultural nostalgia that just feels good! One of my favourite parts? The quiz to tell you if you are more Mary or Rhoda…I’ll give you one guess on how I scored.

BURN AFTER WRITING – SHARON JONES

This is more of a do it for yourself book, offering incisive questions and experiments of self-reflection. You can do as much or as little of it as you want but looking back is always illuminating in one way or another.

GEEK WISDOM – N.K. JEMISIN

This is a collection of oft citied quotes and observations from movies, literature, science, the internet and more celebrating the incomparable brilliance of the nerd! So, my people. You’re welcome.

HEATING & COOLING – BETH ANN FENNELLY

In this collection of 52 micro-memoirs, the reader will find themselves represented in the authors eloquent recollections of an ordinary life, made extraordinary in its interpretations.

A sample…

“In every book my husband’s written, a character named Colin suffers a horrible death. That’s because my boyfriend before I met my husband, a successful architect, was named Colin. My husband wasn’t capable of building a tall structure with many stories. He could only build a story and push Colin out of it.”
