I am reading a great memoir about <a href="http://www.bipolarbarebook.com/" rel="nofollow"> bipolar disorder </a> right now titled, "bipolar bare: my life’s journey with mental disorder- a memoir" by Carlton Davis. The complex interweaving of stories, viewpoints, images, and diagnoses makes “bipolar bare” was really eye opening. I can't wait to check out "Manic: A Memoir" to compare the two books.Beckyhttp://www.twittter.com/beckybooksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-6898566177033051092009-11-12T11:16:29.462-05:002009-11-12T11:16:29.462-05:00See my private email to you please, Carol.

She used to write for the Philly Inquirer and I was a big fan then, just sort of forgot that she was due to have another book out soon.

(By the time it makes its way to the top of my TBR stack, I'll probably have forgotten where it came from...)<br /><br />BTW, you haven't missed anything by not having read Debbie Macomber's "Blossom Street" knitting books. She's a sweet lady, and a knitter, but her prose is so predictable and treacly that it makes my blood sugar soar to dangerous heights...<br /><br />--Lynda in OregonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-652655363962820352009-11-07T14:40:28.574-05:002009-11-07T14:40:28.574-05:00Don't know if you"ll like it, but I reall...Don't know if you"ll like it, but I really enjoyed "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies."

Even Friday Night Knitting Club got a "meh" from me. <br /> Yet, I'm not a big mystery lover or obsessed with Scandinavian culture. I did take your recommendation on The Lace Reader awhile back and it was interesting.<br /> Thanks for being here, babe.Ali Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13015782002583625223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-83370454596954924322009-11-07T09:02:47.738-05:002009-11-07T09:02:47.738-05:00Me!
