like the book, love the blog more.

Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez began blogging in 2006 with a fansite for the show Project Runway. They keep their website www.tomandlorenzo.com completely up to date with the life and times of celebrities. Due to popular demand and their gay hilarity, they have come out with a tell all celebrity guide titled Everyone Wants to Be Me Or Do Me: Tom and Lorenzo's Fabulous and Opinionated Guide to Celebrity Life and Style, that won't be everyone's cup of tea, but is super witty all the same.

These two are self proclaimed "bitchy fashion bloggers," but if you are a regular reader of their blog you know that they are far more charming than bitchy. However, their book is just plain bitchy. I prefer the visuals and the up-to-date information that their blog offers, but most of you will enjoy the honesty and funny TLo have to offer on paper.

Bestselling author, Shelley Shepard Gray is back with her latest series, Return to Sugarcreek and Hopeful, is Book 1 of this Amish trilogy. Single lady Miriam Zehr wants more out of life than her job at the Sugarcreek Inn. She wants what her family wants for her, to get married and start a family, but she only has eyes from one man, Junior, and he doesn't even know she exists. You see, Miriam has always been a bit self conscious, and doesn't think herself as beautiful. Not like the other girls her age. So when Junior approaches her one day, Miriam's heart starts beating out of her chest only to find out that he's interested in her best friend, Mary Kate, a pretty little school teacher who has absolutely NO interest in Junior or anyone else. Gray has created a charming novel with these three characters who have universal issues, secrets, and dreams that seem just out of their reach.

what the hell?

No but really, what the hell Josh Miller and your The Very Hungry Parasite: It's Not What You're Eating, It's What's Eating You bathroom book with all of your frightening information. I find that I enjoy a more calming environment while doing my business, with reading material that doesn't include facts about a brain-eating amoeba that could be swimming around in my pool. But anyways, this "adult bathroom companion" is the absolute perfect gag gift for the clown in your life and definitely not your grandmother. Most of you will get a kick out of the pictures, and the many factoids Miller has clearly taken his time to research. He also believes in zombies, so there's that.

Twelve-year-old Thomas Walker is pretty pumped when his traveling salesman dad takes him out of NYC and onto the road hoping to sell Samuel Colt’s recent invention, the first revolving gun. Ironically, three days into their adventure, Thomas's father is robbed and shot dead, leaving him orphaned and alone, and leaving me wondering where Robert Launter is going with this story. Then steps in Henry Stands, a former ranger who reluctantly takes on responsibility for Thomas as they make their way back East. Keep in mind that it's 1837, so it really is quite the journey, and both characters have anger inside of them. Road to Reckoning is narrated by an adult Thomas and his recollections from childhood, he tells his own coming of age story about revenge and civility.

everything is perfect, until it isn't.

Well let me tell you something, Before We Met by Lucie Whitehouse is NOT the novel you want to read 4 months before your wedding day. Here's why: Thirty-something Hannah has never been one for commitment. Watching her parents marriage fall apart turned her off to the whole idea of true love and that gushy stuff. Until she met Mark, fell in love, got married and moved back to London. After 6-months of marital bliss, Hannah finds herself at the arrivals gate at Heathrow to meet Mark after one of his business trips to New York and he fails to show up. After calling and emailing with no response, and discovering he's never checked into his usual hotel in New York, Hannah's terror turns to suspicion when she follows up with his office and they have been fed a different story about her husband's so called whereabouts.

The next day, Hannah gets a phone call from an apologetic Mark who explains the reasons he was detained and unable to call. Hannah doesn't let him know that she suspects he's a big fat liar. Instead, she spies, and rather than finding answers, she only comes up with more questions about the man she thought she knew.

Many of you are familiar with Tony Horton and his fitness chain P90X. I'm more of an Insanity girl myself, but I can appreciate what Horton has to offer, especially when it comes to strength training. Anyways, this popular fitness pro has come out with a book titled The Big Picture: 11 Laws That Will Change Your Life which works as a guide to a more healthy lifestyle. This book is perfect for those of you who have considered purchasing the program, but haven't been able to take the plunge. It's a great introduction to Horton's philosophy on health and fitness, and his motivational words are contagious, even from the page.

The Big Picture is separated into 11 chapters or "laws" and appear as follows:

• Do your best and forget the rest
• Find your purpose
• Have a plan
• Variety is the spice of...everything
• Consistency reigns supreme
• Crank up the intensity
• Love it or leave it
• Get real
• Find a balance
• Stay flexible
• The three R's: Recharge, Recover, Relax

The titles of these chapters really speak for themselves. Included is advice, practical strategies, and that Tony Horton charisma.

even the horror lovers will be disturbed.

I actually enjoyed reading Lord of the Flies in high school. I mean, I thought it was a little wild, but it kept my attention more than Beowulf, so I wasn't complaining. Now take Lord of the Flies and turn it into a straight up horror story, then you have The Troop by Nick Cutter. This is some terrifying shit here people. Every year Scoutmaster Tim Riggs leads a troop of five boys into the Canadian wilderness for a weekend camping trip. It's a nice tradition, bringing boys different backgrounds and personalities together. Tim is feeling good because all of the boys get along pretty well, and every one's having a nice time until a rabid animal of a man steps onto the scene. And the second the Tim came to this ill man's aide is the exact moment when that imaginary track & field shot gun fired and the entire troop's race with death began because what Tim didn't know is that the very island they were camping on was quarantined. What this troop is up against once their leader is gone is something you have to read to believe. Good luck going to sleep after this one.
