Emily's Reasons Why Not
Ok, took a quick break from the Middle Ages to read Emily's Reasons Why Not by Carrie Gerlach, a fun, guilty-pleasure chick-lit book that Mom had sent. I admit it feels somewhat narcissistic to read books where the title character shares your name (though on a related note, the head of Technorati mentioned at BlogOn that it makes good business sense to base a business on one of the seven sins -- his was vanity since his site lets you find out who in the blogosphere is talking about you) This Emily is a 30/31-year old PR pro in LA who, after a string of unsuccessful boyfriends (including her boss's boss's boss and a professional baseball player) starts to see a therapist to talk about life and love. He has her create lists of reasons why each of these guys were bad news for her. She has wonderful supportive girl friends (who she calls on to support her through these messes) and a lovable dog to keep her company.
That sounds like a cute book...if I ask nicely, would it be possible to borrow it?
of course! I'll pass it along when I see you next (hmm... there should be stamps soon, shouldn't there?) And then I think I'll mail it to Carrie in Iowa...
