Authors on the Air: Kristin Chenoweth; Tori Spelling; I Will Teach You To Be Rich
Compiled by Diane Patrick -- Publishers Weekly, 4/15/2009
Today, Good Morning America featured Tony Award–winning singer-actress Kristin Chenoweth, whose memoir A Little Bit Wicked: Life, Love, and Faith in Stages (Touchstone, 978-1416580553, $25; SpringWater unabridged CD, $32.99) pubbed yesterday. PW wrote “Chenoweth has a frenzied, free-associative style; it's as if she's speaking breathlessly into a tape recorder between sitcom scenes. To use her phrase, this book is ‘a hoot and a holler’—a fast-paced frolic that her fans will appreciate.” Tomorrow, she appears on The View.
Both Today and The View hosted Tori Spelling, whose Mommywood (Simon Spotlight Entertainment, 978-1416599104, $25; S&S Audio unabridged CD, $29.99) pubbed yesterday.
On The Early Show, bestselling young personal finance guru Ramit Sethi promised I Will Teach You To Be Rich (Workman, 978-0761147480, $13.95).
The Diane Rehm Show interviewed journalist Alan Huffman, author of Sultana: Surviving the Civil War, Prison, and the Worst Maritime Disaster in American History (Collins, 978-0061470547, $26.99), which PW called an “engrossing survey of the many varieties of suffering in the Civil War. Huffman fits the climactic disaster into a meticulously researched, harrowing look at the sorrow and the pity that was the Civil War.”
Leonard Lopate got to chat with Kathie Lee Gifford, author of Just When I Thought I'd Dropped My Last Egg: Life and Other Calamities (Ballantine, 978-0345512062, $22).
Tonight, The Colbert Report consults psychotherapist Susie Orbach, author of Bodies (Picador, 978-0312427207, $14).
