Booking is fun.
Some people have been spending the past (and will spend the coming) sunny Summer days in an office with nary a window or even a cheery plant.
I’m fortunate enough to have a large-windowed office in an old building and a cute little money tree on my desk (which looks like it needs watering…must get to that). And what have I been doing during these alternating stifling and soppy days? Reading the mounds of book catalogs that publishers send our way in preparation for booking the upcoming season.
And I’ve found a lot of interesting themes. One being the spiritual memoir (be sure to check out feminist Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg reading from Surprised By God at CNW on Thursday, September 4 at 7pm) and another being Ida B. Wells.
Having worked within the publishing industry, I know that these things come in waves. What’s your favorite recent publishing fad?

There's another new spiritual memoir you might enjoy...of course, I happen to be the author, but...it's the humorous 30-year account of my utter failure to be enlightened, entitled:
THE 99th MONKEY:
A Spiritual Journalist's MIsadventures
With Gurus, Messiahs, Sex, Psychedelics and Other Consciousness Raising Adventures
You can check out the prologue at this link to see if you might like it:

OOPS! I apologize--I guess my book doesn't really qualify as "women's words," although I've done a lot of work on my "inner feminine," if that helps!
