Love Stories in This Town by Amanda Eyre Ward (book club)
Every Second Counts, by Lance Armstrong with Sally Jenkins (work)
Crazy Aunt Purl's Drunk, Divorced, and Covered in Cat Hair: The True-Life Misadventures of a 30-Something Who Learned to Knit After He Split by Laurie Perry. I read her blog so I wanted to check out her book.
Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout (book club). In progress. Really like the writing so far.

You'll have to tell me how Crazy Aunt Purl's book is...
It is almost exactly like her blog (a lot of the same stories with a little more detail) and a few extras like knitting patterns.
I love the Amanda Eyre Ward book. I love everything of hers I've read.
I'm currently reading Belinda Acosta's Damas, Dramas, and Ana Ruiz. She's got a reading/signing at Bookwoman tomorrow (Sunday). I'm thinking about going.
To me it seemed like short stories aren't Ward's natural form. I'm reading "Olive Kitteridge" and those short stories seem almost perfect whereas "Love Stories" was pleasant but sort of workmanlike in comparison.
Although having written a novel and in progress with another I feel like a huge asshole being critical of creative endeavors, knowing how much work goes into it.
