The Paris Wife: This unforgettable (dare I say haunting) novel tells the story of Ernest Hemingway and his wife Hadley: How they met and fell in love, and then about their remarkable time spent in Paris among literary greats like Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, and F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. This is an amazing, heart wrenching love story. Weeks after I've finished it I can't stop thinking about it!
What Alice Forgot: Straight from Amazon: Alice Love is twenty-nine years old, madly in love with her husband, and pregnant with their first child. So imagine her surprise when, after a fall, she comes to on the floor of a gym (a gym! she HATES the gym!) and discovers that she's actually thirty-nine, has three children, and is in the midst of an acrimonious divorce. A knock on the head has misplaced ten years of her life, and Alice isn't sure she likes who she's become. It turns out, though, that forgetting might be the most memorable thing that has ever happened to Alice.
Bossy Pants: Tina Fey's hilarious tell-all about how she got to Weekend Update and 30 Rock, motherhood, marriage and so much more. If you like Tina Fey, you'll love her book!

ReplyDelete(gabriella.vince at gmail.com)
I just started The Happiness Project! Glad to hear that you liked it. I do want to read all the rest, but The Paris Wife sounds especially good. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun giveaway! One of my new year's resolutions (yes, I'm already making them!) is to read more so I'd love to win a book! I would pick 'The Paris Wife' because it's one that I've been wanting to read for awhile now...thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great giveaway! I would pick either the Happiness Project or Bossy Pants - I have heard great things about both!
ReplyDeleteI read The Happiness Project last month and thought it was very inspiring. The Paris Wife sounds really interesting.
ReplyDeletewasn't The Paris Wife incredible? i remember bawling through the last few chapters while on a ferry from Rhodes to Kos in the Greek Islands. Nick was all "what is the matter with you?" and i was all giving him the cold shoulder because men are pigs. ha! the memories.
ReplyDeleteanyway, i'd like to read Bossypants. i hear it's fantastic. and those hands on the cover are just phenomenally disturbing.
All of these books sound really good!
ReplyDeleteI think "what alice forgot" is my number one choice, then "the paris wife" which sounds really interesting!
Thanks for hosting a great giveaway! I love to read!

Why am I writing one now? because I LOVE books and i think this giveaway is very interesting. I'm having a hard time choosing one of these books since all of them seem amazing but I guess my pick would be the Happiness Project. In times like this, anybody could use a little more happiness :)
Adiós :)
