Holiday Weekend Open Thread – Corporette.com

Wished to share some nonfiction ebook recs for anybody who may have some studying time this weekend:

– Sunshine Lady by Julianna Margulies – she was one in every of my favourite actresses on ER however I by no means watched The Good Spouse; didn’t know what to anticipate from this after I bought it from the library. It’s a reasonably fascinating memoir about her childhood, which was fairly unorthodox. It additionally goes into her (unhealthy) relationship with Ron Eldard (who she doesn’t point out by identify). She ended up assembly her now-husband after she broke off her 10+ yr relationship with Eldard and had her son at 40. Not quite a lot of BTS juice about ER or Good Spouse however a couple of attention-grabbing photos of her with solid members. It’s story and an pleasurable (and fairly quick) learn.

Uncanny Valley by Anna Weiner – I don’t know what it was concerning the creator’s writing fashion, however this actually sucked me in. The ebook’s gotten criticism for being concerning the tech business when the creator isn’t a technical skilled, however I believed her “outsider’s perspective” was precious. As soon as I began studying this, I couldn’t put it down.

Brat: An 80’s Story by Andrew McCarthy – I used to be in love with Andrew McCarthy circa St. Elmo’s Hearth and Fairly in Pink so this was a enjoyable learn, though he doesn’t embrace very a lot juice about what occurred on the the film units, and so on. Extra about how he grew to become an actor, what it was like being mega-famous as a really younger grownup, and so on. He has a peaceful, participating writing fashion. The ebook was a fast learn and did include some good gossipy bits, which I gained’t spoil.

Please share out your suggestions (fiction or nonfiction, whichever!)!
