The BookWoman BookGroup will meet to discuss Bossypants by Tina Fey. Come join us!!! Tina Fey's memoir of life behind the curtain is an adventure all its own. It's laugh out loud funny (No, seriously) and manages, between the laughs, to discuss how women are treated and how they treat each other. While keeping her home life out of the picture for the most part, Fey sheds light on what it is like to be a woman, leader, and writer in the TV and movie industry. This, of course, provides context for in depth social commentary and many astute jokes along the way. If you're not a Tina Fey fan yet, you just may well be after reading. The BookWoman BookGroup usually meets on the 4th Tuesday of each month. We read a variety of genres and we welcome new members! | 29

Wise Irish Women: A Journey of Love Honor and Friendship to Inspire the Irish Spirit is a collection of over 35 stories of real women from around the world with one common thread - a connection to Ireland. The Irish are known for their strength of character, sense of honor and love of family. These stories are a wonderful example of how the Irish embrace opportunity and tackle adversity with resilience and grace. Patricia Connorton Kagerer and her co-author Laura Prendergast Gordon are two women of Irish descent who have set out to capture amazing and uplifting stories that share the words of wise Irish women from around the world and from all walks of life. Tricia and Laura were moved to begin this project as a way to honor the wise Irish women who had such a meaningful and positive impact on their lives. We encourage you to visit Tricia and Laura’s website and blog at www.wiseirishwomen.com to learn more about their book, their journey to developing it and how they are celebrating the words and wisdom of Irish women everywhere. | 2
