Making Light of Being Heavy by Kandy Siahaya
About the Book:
These days everyone has a society-driven mindset and totally forget to laugh, especially at themselves. This may be cliche but the author truly believes that laughter is the best medicine and thinks everybody should laugh every day. Period. Over the years as a person blessed with the fat gene, Kandy has been in many situations where if she could not find humor she probably would end up on the couch in the psychiatrist s office. This book is about as politically incorrect as it gets for such a subject but it is also based on reality. This is a reality that many women have just like Kandy but do not think they can (or should) at times just laugh about it. Her intention when she started writing this book was to hopefully give insight to many who could never relate but at the same time perhaps provide a different perspective to women just like her. It is a point of view that has given her the strength to live her life happily and project these feelings onto everyone she comes in contact with. She has a great sense of humor and a quick wit and guarantees you will be laughing (and thinking) with each chapter of Making Light of Being Heavy.

The California Roll by John Vorhaus
The California Roll by John Vorhaus
Back of the book
Meet Radar Hoverlander, a witty, gifted con artist with the mind of David Mamet, the voice of Tom Robbins, and the morals of a sailor on shore leave. What do the Merlin Game, the Penny Skim, the Doolally Snadoodle, and the Afterparty Snuke have in common? They’re all the work of world-class con artist and master bafflegabber Radar Hoverlander. Radar’s been “on the snuke” since childhood, but he’s still looking for his California Roll, the one big scam that’ll set him up in sushi for life.

Guest Post – Authors Lunch for AAUW
Today's Guest Post is written by a dear friend of mine, Lauralee! She doesn't have her own blog (I know, crazy huh!?!) But I think maybe after writing this guest post for me, I can talk her into getting her own. We've known each other for *#&* years and I know that Lauralee has a lot of great things to say. Which is why when I found out she was going to (and helped put on) this Author's Lunch for AAUW, I HAD to talk her into writing a guest blog post for me. This fits in perfectly with the theme of this blog. I hope you'll enjoy learning about the AAUW and getting to know Lauralee a little bit. Please make her feel welcome!
