Freebie Friday: Jenny Sanford's 'Staying True'

staying%20true%20jenny%20sanford.jpg

Happy Friday, everybody! I hope you've been able to dig yourselves out and are enjoying the sunshine that's found it's way to Baltimore.

I spent most of the week catching up with the Percy Jackson series, as I mentioned last week, in preparation for today's opening of the movie. The reviews have been lukewarm and I'm a bit perturbed that they made Percy 17 instead of 12, but I'm excited to get out of the house and enjoy some special effects, nonetheless.

This week, I'll be enjoying "You Say Tomato, I Say Shut Up: A Love Story," by comedians Annabelle Gurwitch and Jeff Kahn. The book is a marriage memoir (of sorts) and seems like it'll be an eye-opener for me.

But on to the winner of "House Rules." Congratulations, Danielle, you've won! I just hope you can dig your way to the mailbox when the book arrives.

Next up: Jenny Sanford's new memoir on her marriage with South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, "Staying True."

So let us know what you're reading, and it could be yours!

I'm reading Eat the Document by Dana Spiotta.

Congratulations, Danielle! I swore I wouldn't read Staying True, but maybe I should as a SC resident. :( We did not live here when Sanford was elected governor, by the way. I'm currently reading Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh.

Ladies of the Lake by Haywood Smith. No thanks, on any political marriage tell all, though. (Bunch of attention 'hos.)

Just finished When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead. Now I'm reading Alcatraz Screw by George Gregory

I'm reading "The Tortilla Curtain" by T.C. Boyle, one of the titles being considered for the 2010 One Maryland, One Book community reading program.

Jenny is a stand up lady but she should not have done it in court. I mean you can watch the proceedings on Court TV's In session. That is a little too pulbic.... She should have settled it a different way, check out this article on settling marriage disputes among one,
