Who's Blogging  |
Blossom
By Queen Pen (Atria, $23.95)
The brazen rapper who caused a sensation with her 1997 debut album, "My Melody," takes another stab at popular fiction (she's published a short story collection) with this tale of a young girl's first love, a journey of equal parts euphoria and pain with an older, alluring street hustler. (F)
The Devil Wears Prada
By Lauren Weisberger (Broadway, $13.95)
The bestselling novel's newest incarnation is a soon to be released movie adaptation starring Meryl Streep. Weisberger's brief stint working for Anna Wintour at Vogue sparked this roman à clef in which a fashion magazine's imperious editor terrorizes her naive new assistant. (F)
Sex with the Queen
By Eleanor Herman (Morrow, $25.95)
It may be a man's world, but that didn't stop these women rulers from exercising shrewdness and sexual prowess to further their personal and political ambitions (and just as often, love and happiness), as Herman relates in this historical look at royal boudoirs. (NF)
