Let’s not beat around the bush: I’m a sucker for a clever book cover and when I saw A Lady’s Guide to Selling Out I knew I wanted to read the book, even if the title didn’t wow me. I mean, please…her skirt is a book! I want it. Add to that this is a novel about a young woman who got an English degree because she loved books and reading so much, only to discover that ...

It’s not a non-fiction workout ... Read More...

Now, turn it into a campy musical, turn it back into a novel and you have Kate Racculia’s Bellweather Rhapsody.
