What are the Ladies Reading?

Ladies Home Journal has some great recommended reading............

Crazy Salad and Scribble Scribble, by Nora Ephron
When Nora Ephron passed away in 2012, everyone who loved her insta-classic books and movies knew the world was losing one of its gems. Ephron's relevant, super-smart, timeless essays are now reprinted in one volume for women everywhere to enjoy all over again or for the first time.

Behind the Beautiful Forevers, by Katherine Boo
Life in a slum near the Mumbai airport is often what you would expect -- downtrodden, dirty, and shocking. Yet, when Pulitzer Prize-winner Katherine Boo takes a closer look at the hidden community, she reveals stories of hope and courage, and writes a can't-put-it-down account of the major inequalities found within a burgeoning, global city.

Live by Night, by Dennis Lehane
In his latest novel, Lehane crafts a gripping crime story set in Prohibition-era Boston. Give it to your husband; even a man who's a picky fiction reader won't be able to put this one down.
Joseph Anton, by Salman Rushdie
When Rushdie learned Ayatollah Khomeini had sentenced him to death for writing The Satanic Verses, his life as he knew it was over. He took on the alias Joseph Anton and spent nine years escaping murder. He also became one of the world's most celebrated authors. His enrapturing, long-awaited memoir has already been cheered by critics, writers, and readers alike.

This Is How You Lose Her, by Junot Díaz Readers have waited with bated breath for the beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning Díaz to publish his third book and it does not disappoint. His poetic collection of short stories on love -- and love lost -- are heartbreakingly passionate.
