The once bitter, pretty fat, lazy Jen shares another journey of her life with readers in new memoir The Tao of Martha. She challenges herself to a yearlong quest of living life according to the advice of Martha Stewart.Sound boring? Did you crack a smile? Does the summary sound the least bit funny? ...
I always like reading Jen Lancaster's misadventures, but this one I sort of bored by. I don't care about Martha Stewart very much, and while I love the way Lancaster can tell a story so well that one second you want to strangle her and by the next page you are totally on her side, I didn't much ca...
