Happy New Year!

1st book of 2016Sheila at Book Journey wants to know what everyone is reading to start off 2016 and is hosting a fun event to find out. I’m reading Leah Remini’s book Troublemaker. I got it as a Christmas gift from my sweet sister-in-law. It’s about how Leah was born and raised in Scientology and ultimately escaped from it. I love celebrity memoirs, I love memoirs of former cult members, this is the perfect book to start the year off with!

I’ll be back tomorrow with my end of the year wrap up. Happy New Year!

    I got an Audible subscription for Christmas and that’s the first book I downloaded. I really like it so far. Happy New Year!

    She is a verbal one; I like how she keeps it real. I didn’t like how they took her off that talk show. I hope you enjoy it. Hau’oli Makahiki Hou.

    Happy New Year. Sounds like a very good memoir, I like a memoir and like you when someone has been in interesting situations it is so good to be given some insight.

    Great choice. I normally don’t read memoirs, but I would pick this one up.

    I’m glad Leah escaped from it. I saw her on People magazine and was glad she could restart her life anew.
