Queen of Babble Gets Hitched (Queen of Babble)
Meg Cabot
William Morrow, 2008
Queen of Babble

After watching a few episodes of the reality TV show The Pickup Artist, I decided to buy this book. I bought this one instead of Mystery's Method because Strauss wrote Jenna Jameson's autobiography which is in my mind excellent credentials. Still, my expectations were ...

Ladies of Liberty: The Women Who Shaped Our Nation
Cokie Roberts
William Morrow, 2008
History jumps off the page
