I found out today that Becca gave me the Booker Award and asked me to post five of my favorite books.

I am going to take a moment here to give Becca a well deserved shout out. If you aren't reading her blog well you are missing out. Get over there and say hello.

My book pics are as follows:

What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty. This book is clever. Alice falls off a bike at the gym and forgets the last 10 years of her life. Including how much she hates her husband and that she has three kids. Would your 10 year younger self like the person you have become?

Let's pretend this didn't happen by Jenny Lawson. This book is actually laugh out loud funny. Think Chelsea Handler meets Tina Fey. Truly hysterical account of Jenny's life including a crazy list of things that happened to her that most people can't image actually happening. The list includes a story about a time homeless people ate her pet.

Thirteen reasons why by Jay Asher. This is a brilliantly written fiction book about the 13 reasons why the main character took her life. Anyone who has a teen should read it. Anyone who is a teen should read it and anyone who was a teen should read it.

Schooled by Gordan Korman. You will fall in love with Cap. If you don't then there is something wrong with you. Loved the writing, loved the storyline and loved the entire premise of this book. Cap is a home-schooled outsider forced to go to public high school when his grandmother becomes ill. His reaction to the way others treat him is priceless and a great life lesson.

Gods behaving badly by Marie Phillips. Basically, this fictious account answers the question--After Jesus started gaining popularity and had throngs of followers, what happened to the Greek gods and goddesses? The book is written by a first time author and she can paint a vivid picture. Artemis, for example, the goddess of hunting, the moon, and chastity, is forced to become a dog walker and Aphrodite, the godess of beauty, is a phone sex operator. Immensely imaginative.

Those are my picks people...go out and read them and let me know what you think.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for coming out tonight and wearing all your favorite designers.

It's great to have this opportunity to thank all of you for your love and support. Turns out (insert small squeal) people are actually reading this blog!

One of my new favorite bloggers is Pish Posh a brutally honest teacher who makes me laugh.

She recently gave me the Liebster award and called me thoughtful and creative and one of the funniest lunch ladies she knows.

I love just about everything Pish writes. She is open, honest and refreshing. Sometimes we tend to be guarded and unwilling to share our actually opinions for fear they might offend. Pish Posh doesn't apologize for her opinion and I like that about her.

Some of my favorite posts from her include this letter to her students about the things she cannot say and this one about homeschooling.

As part of the award I'm supposed to spread the love like jelly on warm toast to five of my favorite bloggers.

W&W with Wendy a former co-worker of mine sharing her life's adventures. She always gives me lots to ponder.

Long Toes an eclectic bunch of goodies. The name alone makes you wanna look.

Mitchell is Moving amazing photos of a grand adventure!

Kim at Yep, they're all mine a non mom blogger who keeps things real

let me start by saying that you should also be reading this blog. If not, how will you know the dangers of Max and Ruby?

Thanks again for the shout out Pish! Really appreciate it!
