I loved this book. The author is Elizabeth Smart's Uncle who reveals everything that went on behind the scenes in the Elizabeth Smart investigation. How the police did not investigate important leads because they just wanted to close the case. Their suspect was dead and they just wanted to wrap it up.
It was so interesting to learn about how the media influenced the investigation. I remember the day they found her because I was at work and she was found just down the street from my building! I love true stories and this one obviously hits close to home for me.

Mommywood by Tori Spelling
I just love Tori. I read her other book, sTori Telling, and loved it. I love her reality TV show "Tori & Dean - Home Sweet Hollywood".
She is seriously hilarious! I love how open she is on her show, you should check it out.

No Man Knows My History by Fawn M. Brodie
This is my second time reading this book but I thought it'd be a good end (hopefully) to my little polygamy kick. It's a pretty controversial book about Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormon church. Believe you me I've got a lot to say about the Mormon church but because most of my family is Mormon, I will keep my opinions to myself.
At least for now.
