The Toast

even if you think of our favorite celebrity memoir Jessica simpson Open book Open book that could also be anyone it's generic.

I actually Tessa Bailey has a new like romance book that's Christmassy.

And it's on my want to read it's called it is called Window Shopping.

The man accused of raping Lovely Bones author Alice Sebold has his conviction overturned.

She wrote a book in 1999, a memoir called Lucky, and it was about her sexual assault which happened to her.

And months later, she saw the man on the street in the city who reminded her of her rapist, and she reported the encounter to the police.

And then this started like this chain reaction and now a judge has overturned the conviction.

I never read the book Lucky, but it was like obviously a huge book and it was gonna be turned into a movie.

a new book about the Royals is coming out called Brothers and Wives Inside the Private Lives of William, Kate, Harry and Meghan by Christopher Anderson who is a source close to the Royal family.

Prince Charles was the unnamed royal who speculated about the complexion of Meghan and Harry's future children according to a new book.

Charles then asked, I mean, what do you suppose their children's complexion might be?

he said that Charles' comments were benign and twisted by palace courtiers.

I read Golden Girl by Ellen Hildebrandt the book you raved about um and I liked it I mean now that I've really sat with it I thought it would be more on my mind and like it's not I agree with that

my biggest complaint with the book was that it was unbelievably long and I was actually texting with Raquel Moffs and we oh every book you recommend to me I recommend to her and she loves your recommendations by the way she just did it happened one summer I told her I'm like it's a little pornographic she said it's fine so then I was like I read Golden Girl by Ellen Hildebrandt I think you would It's my deal breaker, like I can't.

I do think it was too long and it could have been shorter, but I was enjoying it so much and I haven't really been so into a book in so long that it was like, why would I want this to end? Let's keep going.

She wrote a public statement posted to Medium where she issued an apology to the man who was cleared last Monday of all charges in his 1982 conviction which served as the subject in her bestselling memoir Lucky.

When Life Gives You Lululemons is a really good book.

It is a really good book and I think everyone should read it.

I think you would be better off reading like 300 pages of The Odyssey of Colleen Hoover.

That book is also Margo and Rebecca's least favorite book that we read this year. So it was Clara and the Sun but it's also like written by like a Nobel laureate.

I too read a book that I hated. I can't believe you hated. She read One Day in December which if you're a reader and you like you know a snitch's choice, it's a classic.

It was so corny and it was hella long for a while where nothing happened. It is pretty long but if you like the book then it's you know not long enough.

Didn't love the characters. Like I'm like why is like everyone obsessed with this guy Jack? Like he sounds ugly. Like the way they keep describing him like he's messy. I'm like who the fuck wants to be with someone messy?

And so I felt like the show was really good because I definitely felt myself going on the journey of emotions with her because when he when she left I'm like yeah get the fuck out of that trailer and then you know he got sober and he was much more responsible and he was great with Maddie and you're like thinking to yourself like all right you know maybe he really has changed like maybe it'll be okay life would be different if she goes back and she wouldn't have to you know worry about finding a place to live and you're like kind of like slowly rooting.

I do think you know largely it's based on truth which makes it even more compelling.

I started the book Mary Queen of Scots. I remember... but it's 800 pages and I was already like I did the sample on Kindle...

I was reading this book called The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave. I think it was a Reese's Book Club choice. I just finished it yesterday and it was pretty good.

It didn't do much for me but it was a pleasant read.

Emmanuel Acho ... former Philadelphia Eagles linebacker turned sports analyst and New York Times bestselling author of Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man which was named after his successful YouTube series of the same name.

Ally Brooke's memoir Finding Your Harmony is out now and I would buy it. She talks about being a virgin for religious reasons, prayer, and dealing with temptations.

The title is Finding Your Harmony and it's a little clickbaity, but it's a good name for a book.

I love a tell all. I love a juicy gossip open book. Andy Cohen Diaries, Brandy Glanville books like this.

And I think that's why I brought out the book. The book isn't a memoir, by the way. It's part memoir, but it's more selfhelp because I think a lot of people just need, even you sitting in the chair, there's an uncomfortableness to change.

I wrote about Your Roots Don't Define You, and how basically you can break free from the past that holds you back.

The Camper & The Counselor

I sort of wanted to read Fix her up. Another Tessa Bailey book. I sort of wanted to read like a silly romcom book similar to it.

that I read called Una Out of Order where after her 18th birthday every birthday her birthday's at New Year's Eve she jumps to a different age in her life. So she goes from 18 to like 52. That's terrifying. And then yeah no and the first time it happens. But if she goes back down she can put some.
