The daddy diaries : the year I grew up / by Cohen, Andy,1968-author.;
"Andy Cohen has taken on the most important job of his life--father--and boy (and girl!) does he have a lot to say about it! One of Andy Cohen's most momentous years starts off with a hangover the morning after an epic New Year's Eve broadcast. But Andy doesn't have time to dwell on the drama, as his role as media mogul is now matched with the responsibilities, joys, and growing pains of parenthood. This fast-paced, mile-a-minute look behind the scenes of living the so-called glamorous life in Manhattan now takes firm aim at life at home. With a three-year-old son, Ben, and a daughter, Lucy, born in May, stories of late-night parties are replaced by early mornings with Ben, drama at the play-ground, and the musings of a single dad trying to navigate having it all. All this is set against the backdrop of constant Housewives drama, hijinks behind the scenes at Watch What Happens Live, a revolving door of famous faces, and a worried mother (and newly minted grandmother) in St. Louis. Buckle up, bottle up, and get ready for a laugh-out-loud and surprisingly poignant look at the ways in which family changes everything and the superficial gets very real. Watch what happens!"--

Running down a dream : a memoir / by Palmater, Candy,author.;
"A powerful, often funny, always inspiring memoir from a beloved comedian, professional orator, actor, entertainer, gone all too soon. Candy Palmater loved to connect with people. She lived for the stage, her effervescent presence on television and radio ignited and inspired audiences, touching them with her warm, often spicy humour as well as her positive message about love and kindness. And she always believed that it is never too late to pursue our dreams and that we should never allow others to negatively influence our life's desires. Candy described herself as a queer Mi'kmaw lawyer-turned-comic raised by bikers in rural New Brunswick and on the surface, she met with enormous success--on leaving government and the practice of law, she started a career as a stand-up comedian, which led to starring in five successful seasons of her own national TV show, hosting many radio shows and co-guest hosting CTV's The Social, and landing a recurring role on a hot new sitcom in her fifties. But she is the first to tell you she made all kinds of mistakes and experienced all kinds of failure along the way. Running Down a Dream is Candy's story, in her own words, of the highs, the lows, the moments of doubt, the turning points when she listened to her gut and tuned out all the people saying no. It's also a tribute to her family and the love that always bolstered her, despite their own hard times. She shares her stories to inspire us to embrace our failures and to believe in ourselves. And most importantly, Running Down a Dream is a call to love ourselves for who we are. The world lost Candy in late 2021, and yet she left us with this gift--a memoir and a message that will inspire us for years to come."--

Everyone can be a ninja : find your inner warrior and achieve your dreams / by Gbajabiamila, Akbar,author.;
"The beloved host of the NBC hit show American Ninja Warrior draws inspiration from both the fierce competitors on his show and his own unlikely path to success to outline the essential steps to achieving your goals and becoming a modern-day ninja. Akbar Gbajabiamila, the host of NBC's hit Emmy-nominated show, American Ninja Warrior, did not have an easy path to success. One of seven children by Nigerian immigrant parents, he grew up in the Crenshaw district of South Central Los Angeles during the 1980s and '90s, a time when the neighborhood was fraught with riots and gang violence. With dreams of playing professional basketball, Gbajabiamila found success not in the sport he loved, but in football. Late in his high school career, Gbajabiamila suited up with pads for the first time and was thrown into the complex sport of football. He climbed major hurdles to play college football and then professional football. After playing in the NFL, it was only after years of hard work behind-the-scenes in radio and television that he was offered the job to be the host of American Ninja Warrior. Through his own inspirational underdog stories and interviews with modern-day ninjas who have accomplished extraordinary things in their own lives against the odds, Akbar proves in Everyone can be a ninja that it doesn't matter if you make it through every step of the obstacle course on the first try. Ninjas keep pushing themselves until they reach their goals, and they don't let anyone or anything stand in their way. It is easy to see greatness in others; it's hard to see it in ourselves. Everyone can be a ninja shows you that we can fulfill our potential and achieve our dreams by finding our inner warriors"--

How to be a boss b*tch : stop apologizing for who you are and get the life you want / by Quinn, Christine,author.; Holtzman, Rachel,author.;
"Part manifesto, part tell-all, Christine Quinn's How to Be a Boss Bitch brings readers all the details of her journey from high school dropout and Texas bartender to self-made millionaire, entrepreneur, and reality TV star. Quinn has been called everything from "the most-talked-about woman on TV" to "the villain 2020 needed." When competitive colleagues, ex-boyfriends, or cast mates call her a bitch, she says thank you. She doesn't apologize for any of the qualities that got her the success she has today: tenacity, outspoken confidence, and fearless authenticity, all while dressed in full glam and Balenciaga. When Christine talks about not apologizing she is not proposing that you treat others poorly or dismissively, but rather to stop wasting time feeling bad for youthful mistakes, for ambition, or for demanding that your partner steps up and does their fair share. It is this apologizing, she argues, that holds us back, and once we confront it and learn to acknowledge and then sidestep it, we can truly become the boss bitches that we are meant to be"--
