Summer Reading List (Fat Girl Stories with HEART)
Here's a "fat girl" summer reading list, if anyone is interested. I always like to read books about characters who are larger. It always A) motivates me to work harder and B) reminds me that success and failure have nothing to do with clothing sizes.
1) "I'm Not the New Me," by Wendy McClure. This is a witty biography...totally hilarious. She has published another book and is the writer of a much-read blog at poundy.com (check it out!)
2) "The Next Big Thing," by Johanna Edwards. Reality TV meets plus-size women. I found it to be a fun read. Also author of a brand new (June 5) book called "How to Be Cool," (about a formerly heavy girl).
3) "Conversations with the Fat Girl," by Liza Palmer. This book isn't the BEST BOOK IN THE WORLD, but it has its moments. It's about a plus-sized girl that has a friend who had gastric-bypass surgery.
4) "Good in Bed," by Jennifer Weiner. First 2/3 of book was terrific, the last 1/3 didn't quite fit in.
Happy Reading!
