Now on Your Bookshelf

Today I became one of the first people to know about the next book all you ladies are sure to be coveting by the time it hits shelves early next year. And now I am sharing my wisdom with you.

The book (and subsequent blog - yay!) is called Your Big Fat Boyfriend. Intrigued? As was I. From what I gather, as I have not yet read more than what I'm offering right here, our boyfriends are making us fat. And writer and fitness guru Jenna Bergen is out to make sure it doesn't happen to one more girlfriend. The book has recipes, tips, tricks, and stories for an all-around healthier you - from a fairly fresh angle. I suppose time will tell if that angle can persist and thrive as did similar (yet not at all the same, as Bergen points out) Hungry Girl - the name in front of healthy hungry girl Lisa Lillien, already coming out with a second book. I think YBFB will be around for awhile, though, and totally worth checking out.

Now how I do know this inside scoop? As you may assume, no, magazine interns do not get farther than MediaBistro newsletters or eavesdropping on editors phone calls (kiddingggg) to hear about whats new in the industry, but I actually intern for Bergen herself. So yes, I'm doing a little ass-kissing shameless plugging. And she's really excited and very sweet. So check her out and kick your BFB's potato booty off the couch!
