Can you guys believe it’s 2012 already? And since this may or may not be the final year of our existence according to that pesky Mayan calendar, we better make it count by reading LOTS of awesome books!
We’ll be switching things up a bit this year-look for lots of pop culture talk (The Bachelor, anyone?) and more shit-talking posts from us.(And we want to hear from you too!)
And of course, all the VERY best authors and giveaways. Because that’s how we roll in 2012, bitches!
We’re kicking off the New Year with the fabulous Cooper Lawrence and her latest, The Yoga Club. Cooper is our type of multi-tasker-not only does she co-host The Big Show with Scott & Todd in New York, you can also catch her on Fox’s Dish Nation. She’s also written several other books. See? Serious Multi-tasker! And she does it well-The Yoga Club is a lot of fun-the perfect way for you to kick off 2012!
Here’s the skinny on The Yoga Club: Chatting it up with bendy WASPs is the last thing on Coco Guthrie’s mind during her 8:30 a.m. yoga class. Having made her fortune as the world-renowned inventor of Butt-B-Gone derriere cream, Coco still doesn’t feel like she belongs among the upper class— until she attends the swankiest Halloween soiree in Greenwich, Connecticut, where three of her fellow morning yogis shared her brilliant idea to appear as Sarah Palin. Soon it’s clear that a love of stretching isn’t all this accidental sorority—which includes a single mom with echolalia, an entertainment reporter who charms the pants off handsome stars, and a drama-prone producer with a taste for drag— have in common.
When the four mischievous Sarahs wander away from the party to sneak a peek at the mayor’s neighboring estate, they are stunned to find him adorned in leather and latex, and rolling up a woman’s body in a Persian rug. To make matters worse, someone has spotted the spying Palins. Someone who threatens to expose their torrid affairs in business and the bedroom. Now the unlikely foursome must use all their wits and wiles to get to the bottom of the kinky crime. But will their budding friendship be strong enough to protect their deepest secrets?
Sound good? Well then you’ll be stoked to know we have FIVE copies to give away! You know the drill-just leave a comment and we’ll randomly choose the winners after 6pm PST on Monday January 9th. Good luck!
CHICK LIT IS NOT DEAD PRESENT…COOPER LAWRENCE’S 5 LOVES AND A DUD
1. Thick and thin friends. No, no, not your friends with canckles and food issues, but the ones who go through it with you…and I mean….ALL OF IT! My closest friends are people I have known for twenty years or more who know me better than I know myself, will call me on my “stuff”, and are people I have relied on at various times in my life without question. As Marlene Dietrich said, “It’s the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter.”
2. Marconi, the inventor and the puppy. Since I have spent the bulk of my career in radio I would be remiss not to be grateful for Guglielmo Marconi, an Italian inventor, known as the father of long distance radio transmission. Radio is my second love, the first being my 96lb Italian Spinone puppy aptly named….you guessed it…Marconi (which is only funny if you know I’m in radio). What makes my Marconi special is that he is a pet therapy dog through the Delta Society. We visit at our local hospital on a weekly basis and its great to see him working with the patients.
3. The greatest channel on TV. Investigation Discovery Hollywood crimes, murder and forensic investigations, oh my! When you’re relaxing on your couch and eating dinner, what’s better than watching a cold case solved by DNA of an assailant’s 30 year old semen? I can’t get enough of Deadly Women, Wicked Attraction, and Solved: Extreme Forensics. In this one episode they had to get the help of a NASA scientist…but I don’t want to ruin for you. If you don’t get the ID: Investigation Discovery channel, call your local cable provider.
4. Living in NYC. I would love to regale you with stories of the hustle and the bustle, or the museums and cocktail soirees on exotic rooftops but my real love for this city is that anything can be delivered to you at any time of the day. Groceries, burritos, laundry, furniture, shoes…you name it they’ll bring it. You don’t have to get out of your sweatpants….ever!
5. Being Single. Read the first four. Is it any shock?
DUD
WAR. No disrespect to them but I got their greatest hits for Christmas and I was really underwhelmed. “Spill The Wine” is ok once it gets to the chorus but the whole spoken word thing that leads up to it is so hacky.
Thanks so much Cooper! xoxo, L&L

Not a fan of spoken word at all! lol The book sounds kooky though – in a very good way. :)
Sounds like a fun read!
A storyline to keep me guessing ! Sounds good !
Sounds like a really fun book!
I love the comment about Thick and Thin Friends – they are the best. The ones that show up and bring you soup after you’ve had surgery or listen to talk about your fears of falling again in after a divorce. I have a few of these friends that I won’t trade anything for.
I respectfully disagree with the dud. Spill the Wine is a great song and I love it when it comes on the classic rock station, bring back great memories of summer.
please count me in …. thanks :)
This sounds like such an awesome book. As they say boys come and go, but girlfriends stick together! Sounds like a fantastic read!
It looks like a book I would enjoy.
If I can find nothing else, I can always count on ID to keep me entertained. They are always showing something creepy and interesting. =)
