The Bookworm
It’s good to be Queen, but it’s hard, too. Everybody expects perfection. Letting your hair down (literally) is often forbidden. Doing the “pretend like you’re icing a cake in the air” wave makes sore arms and impressive biceps.
In the book “Divas Las Vegas” by Rob Rosen, an old relic could mean trouble anew.
In the new book “Our Times: The Age of Elizabeth II” by A.N. Wilson, you’ll get a feel for what it’s like to have such a job. In other words, it’s not easy being Queen.
Hiding can be life-saving necessary. It can be life-or-death. It can be a means to revenge, as you’ll see in the new novel “Forgetting the Alamo, or, Blood Memory” by Emma Perez.
What does etiquette say for two grooms or two brides? And what about legalities? Find out the answers to those questions and more.
In the new book “Sordid Truths” by Aiden Shaw, you’ll read about the early years of one man’s career and how he got into film.
In the new book “In and Out of Hollywood” by Charles Higham, you’ll read about an accident that launched a career, and the story of the man whose life was affected.
In the new book “Elton John: The Bitch is Back” by Mark Bego, you’ll read about how a chubby English boy became a mega-star.
The New Year is also a time for the annual Best Of list. So without further ado, here are my best picks for 2009
The apple, they say, doesn’t fall far from the tree, and in the new novel “Mama Dearest” by E. Lynn Harris, it sticks around through three generations.
In the biography “Hiding in Plain Sight: The Secret Life of Raymond Burr” by Michael Seth Starr, you’ll read about a scandal-in-the-making that was, amazingly, kept out of the public eye for decades.
