Spelling Like It Is by Tori Spelling

Spelling Like It Is by Tori Spelling, 302 pages

Spelling Like It Is is Tori Spelling's fifth adult nonfiction book.  I have read all her books.  I am not a big Tori Spelling fan, but I am a fan of celebrity biographies.  Her books are always entertaining and quick reads.  I felt like this book was just a quick way for her to make some money to support her ever growing family.  Tori now has four kids and many pets. She writes about her two most recent pregnancies and goes in great detail with the fourth pregnancy which almost cost her and her baby Finn's life.  There is also a lot of trips to the hospital.  I will say Tori Spelling does lead an interesting life.

Life Is Not A Reality Show: Keeping It Real with the Housewife Who Does It All by Kyle Richards

Life Is Not A Reality Show: Keeping It Real with the Housewife Who Does It All by Kyle Richards, 275 pages

I guess you could call this book tooting your own horn.  And, Kyle Richards (Aunt to Paris Hilton and sister to child star Kim Richards) blows her horn hard.  Born and raised in Beverly Hills and growing up a child actor (she appeared in Little House on The Prairie), I can see where she gets her attitude.  As far as children growing up in Beverly Hills, she probably did not have as lavish a lifestyle as some. If you are a fan of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, you will love this book. Describing her wonderful marriage to her husband Mauricio, Kyle gives advice on how to keep a man.  She also gives advice on hair and makeup and throwing parties. One interesting story is how she inherited her mother's diamond ring.  Because her sisters already had extensive jewelry collections, she inherited the ring.  The pictures in this book were an added bonus!

Rage by Jackie Morse Kessler

Rage by Jackie Morse Kessler, 209 pages

Missy is a cutter. It's the one way she knows how to release all the anger, frustration, hurt and other emotions that war inside her body. Cutting herself brings release, she believes. One day, she meets Death... and slams the door in his face. She learns she is to become one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse - WAR. As she comes to terms with her life and who she is, changes for the better will start to take place. Don't worry, it isn't all doom and gloom. There is a bit of romance, peace and love in this novel, too.
While Rage is an emotional journey through one young teenage girl's life, it is also a good guide for parents and peers to understand a little more of what an "emo" might go through. It's a real eye opener. The author really did her homework by researching various sites and speaking with different people about the psyche of a cutter.
