I really enjoyed this book. Although I am not one of the women who wears high heels all the time, the book helped me to understand why I sometimes feel guilty that I don't wear high heels all of the time. The book was not only about the shoes that women wear, it was about the historical events that lead to the reasons that women choose to wear the shoes that do such damage to their feet. I will pass this book on to my sister, who wears high heels on a daily basis, in the hopes that it can help her to overcome the shoe addiction and perhaps even save her feet.

This is the book I always say when people ask me what my favorite book is. I read it and when I finished it, I immediately read it again. I love Daniel Handler's way with words as Lemony Snickett and he is just as fun here.

Unabrow is one of the funniest books I heave read in a long time. And when I say funny, I mean laugh out loud in the break room at work, and then get self-conscious because people heard you, funny. Una tells her life story in a series of essays, charts, and lists that are as insightful as they are humorous. As a woman who also grew up in the 80s and 90s and is now dealing with the craziness of marriage and motherhood, I felt like I was reading the journal of a very funny friend. Highly recommended.

Losing Clementine is about an artist who decides she is going to kill herself in 30 days. The subject, in the hand of another writer, could have been heavy and sappy, but Ashley Ream concocted a story that made me laugh out loud on more than one occasion, and cry only once. Clementine is a wonderfully written character and taking the 30 day journey with her was a truly satisfying reading experience. Highly recommended.
