10 Favorites from the Founder of PopSugar

Iconic! I fell in love with the story of three women on their quest to make it big in the entertainment industry in NYC. Reading about the highs and lows of their journey was as addictive as the little pills they depended on. I read this book in the ’90s and couldn’t believe it was written 30 years earlier. I immediately read Jacqueline’s other two books as well.

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called, "The Hunger Games," a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the Games. The terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed.

Though it’s probably best known for the movie it inspired—a certain Kevin Costner flick that took place mainly in a cornfield and featured a voice whispering “If you build it, he will come”—W. P. Kinsella’s book is a wonder all on its own.

Some say she’s cold and unfeeling, calculating to a subhuman degree, and basically totally nutso. I say Amy Dunne is just a smart, sensitive woman in a man’s world, frustrated by patriarchy, down with to-do lists, and dedicated to the fine art of revenge! This powerhouse of a novel sees crime writer Gillian Flynn come into her own as a dramatic storyteller in full command of her many gifts.

Crazy like: A fox! Amy is a hottie!

Best crazy moment: The box cutter. ’Nuff said.

Forget the controversy surrounding whether this is fiction or semi-fiction; it’s still an intense look inside an addict’s time in rehab. I had to put it down sometimes because the descriptions were so painfully extreme that I could not even stomach it, but I was sucked in and felt emotionally and physically sick along with the author.

I’m a huge Steve Martin fan in anything he does and as an author. I enjoyed the love triangle story about a saleswoman in a high-end department store and her two totally different suitors. Quirky, smart, and cute, just like Steve.

When Dave Eggers was a college senior, in the space of five weeks, he lost both of his parents to cancer and became the guardian of his 8-year-old brother. His moving memoir manages to be a simultaneously hilarious and deeply heartfelt story of the love that holds a family together. How is this hot dude not ugly-crying on the train?

Since 1951, the story of Holden Caulfield's coming-of-age has rightfully mesmerized generations of readers - 65 million copies have been sold around the world.

I love when celebs give us an inside look at their lives distinct from social media or their regular press interviews. Being able to see how Chrissy eats and why she loves to create meals is a special treat for us all—and the recipes are amazing.

I love that she based these cards off her book and created a way to make conversations with friends. It’s a fun way to get to know people and let your guard down knowing that we all have times when we need to be called out, stop being so self-conscious, or just relate that we’ve all been there before.
