In light of Tina Fey's current popularity from her Emmy winning TV show, Third Rock, to her spot on Sarah Palin parodies, publishing houses were champing at the bit to capture Fey's book. Little, Brown
won the auction purpoted to be very good 7 figure deal. The book is "said to skew more toward humor than memoir." Given that Fey has been writing comedy for quite a long time, I imagine that this book will be hilarious. It's too bad that it's drop date couldn't be inauguration day along with Gwen Ifil's book.

Jane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. Jane also does not like to talk about herself in the third person, but apparently this is the way that this biography thing works (although in a true biography, someone else would be writing this blurb). Anyway, currently Jane loves urban fantasy authors Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews. She's really excited about this year's crop of historicals including Joanna Bourne's
The Spymaster's Lady and Sherry Thomas'
Private Arrangements and the upcoming Loretta Chase
Her Scandalous Ways.
She's looking for a good contemporary author. Email her with a recommendation!

I know Gawker claimed at one point the offers were over five million. Good for Tina! :-)
Little Brown seems to be cornering the female celebrity market. Not my thing but more power to them.
