“Women on fire!

Bored? Nothing to do? Tired of yet another weekend painting your toenails & renting videos? Get a copy of Wendy & Erin's elegant book & work your way through all the mayhem & mangled metaphors ~ even if you don't leave your apartment, you'll have had one helluva fun read!

Do catch my eInterview with this lively pair of hip chicks as they do more for the demise of marriage than a bus load of divorce lawyers. This book is packed with ideas for solo adventures ranging from the mild to the wild. Caution: just because one of these hip chicks is the daughter of a preacherman, does not mean the language is biblical, far from it! This dynamic duo have a keen & immodest sense of the absurd, the breathless & the energetic.

For anyone whose palette has been coated over with the monotony of bureaucracy & cramped city living. Go get 'em, girls!”

"A smile and a springboard of inspiration is guaranteed.

This is a fun book written by two witty thirty-something gals, Wendy Burt and
Erin Kindberg who appropriately have subtitled it 'The Hip Chick's guide to Fun for One.' I smiled when I saw the bright pink cover and snappy illustration, I smiled when I read the table of contents, and I just kept smiling as I read through it. Each of the 125 chapters, that are less than two pages long, includes an idea that a single woman can do alone. All of them encourage creativity and include such diverse activities as volunteering in an animal shelter, skydiving, learning to brew home-made beer, taking a road trip in a convertible, and even crashing a wedding reception. Each idea is presented with humor, followed by a short list of places to go for more information, including appropriate websites.

The book, of course, does more than just give ideas. It says something about the authors themselves. These are women who enjoy their lives and are always on the lookout for something interesting to do. And even though they often humorously refer to the possibility of meeting some hunky guy while learning to fly or going to a town meeting, this is somehow just a footnote to the idea of the activity itself. There's encouragement to take courses, learn a new skills, help the needy, and open your eyes to the pleasures of just plain living. It's upbeat all the way. I read the book all the way through but it can also be read byjust leafing though it or choosing a chapter at random.

But however you read it, I can guarantee it will make you smile as well as act as a springboard to further inspiration. Recommended."
