Shameless plug for my friend’s Zoe’s Book!


Tonight! Tuesday, August 15th at 7:00PM
at the Borders in the Time Warner Center at 10 Columbus Circle.

Meet NYC author and Blogger, Zoë Rice, reading from her new book, Pick Me Up.

From Booklist:

Pick Me Up. Rice, Zoe (author). June 2006. 288p.
NAL, paperback, $12.95

REVIEW. Chick-lit takes on the New York art scene in Rice’s enjoyable debut. Gallery director Izzy Duncan is beginning to make her mark at the Emerson Bond Gallery. When the gallery’s eccentric benefactor suddenly dies, Izzy’s life is thrown into a tailspin. She thinks her new boss may just be her Prince Charming, and her ardor overrides her concern over the direction he’s taking the gallery.

Meanwhile, she’s working overtime to get back in the good graces of a new artist she inadvertently offended. There’s a Sex in the City vibe to this novel that will attract some readers, and a sentimental side that will appeal to the true romantics. Izzy is entrenched in the glamorous world of artists and celebrities, but her own hopes and problems seem realistic. This book is bound to please young women seeking the same sort of fulfillment in their work and love lives that Izzy is.
