Book Beginning: Backwards in High Heels: The Impossible Art of Being Female by Tania Kindersley & Sarah Vine

BOOK BEGINNINGS ON FRIDAYS
THANKS FOR JOINING ME ON FRIDAYS FOR BOOK BEGINNING FUN!

MY BOOK BEGINNING

There are twenty-one dictionary definitions for the word love. Every woman (or Everywoman, the heroine of this book) may come to a point in her middle life when she suspects she doesn’t understand the first thing about any of these.

-- Backwards in High Heels: The Impossible Art of Being Female by British writers Tania Kindersley and Sarah Vine. I found this fun, pretty book of girlfriendly wisdom at the Boise friends of the library bookstore yesterday. I forgot to pack my book when I left for a work trip, but luckily this favorite book haunt of mine was open late.

Please join me every Friday to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you are reading, along with your initial thoughts about the sentence, impressions of the book, or anything else the opener inspires. Please remember to include the title of the book and the author’s name.

EARLY BIRDS & SLOWPOKES: This weekly post goes up Thursday evening for those who like to get their posts up and linked early on. But feel free to add a link all week.

SOCIAL MEDIA: If you are on Twitter, Instagram, or other social media, please post using the hash tag #BookBeginnings. I try to follow all Book Beginnings participants on whatever interweb sites you are on, so please let me know if I have missed any and I will catch up.

YOUR BOOK BEGINNING




TIE IN: The Friday 56 hosted by Freda's Voice is a natural tie in with this event and there is a lot of cross over, so many people combine the two. The idea is to post a teaser from page 56 of the book you are reading and share a link to your post. Find details and the Linky for your Friday 56 post on Freda’s Voice.

MY FRIDAY 56

This girlfriend, shrink, mother, sister, and guide to life all rolled into one is filled to the brim with smart and witty observations on life as a woman, beautifully illustrated throughout. In fifteen chapters, you’ll find clever banter on politics; romantic love; love lost and mourned; shopping for shoes; shopping for comfort; working-motherhood; money, and spending it; and the secrets of childbirth, among many other topics common to females of all ages.

From the back cover, not page 56, because I'm posting this from the mediation I'm in Boise for. I left the book in my hotel room and had to find something to post here from the amazon "look inside" material. Oh well! Backwards and in high heals, right?
