365 Days of Books of Interest: Day #229: The Thinker's Guide to L.A. LaLand

I like to give self-published books a chance because being published by a big name publisher doesn't mean a book will be good or vise-versa. From the sample pages I read, this seems like an interesting book.

A graduate student takes a break from her studies and moves to Los Angeles most likely looking for some starry-eyed adventure. When I get a chance, I'm going to buy this.

Book: The Thinker's Guide to L.A. LaLand by Sanders Smith

Description:

Maya Sanders is an Ivy League educated biochemist with an affinity for designer shoes and reproducible data. She is young, talented…and at a major crossroads in her life! After yet another failed experiment, she takes a sabbatical from school and moves to L.A. to pursue her secret passion…script writing. Armed with her trusty DVD copy of The Hills, Maya navigates the fabulously treacherous terrain of Hollywood’s film industry as only a thoughtful academic could, while trying not to lose herself in the process.

A Thinker’s Guide to L.A.laland is a quick-witted novel that seamlessly blends the worlds of pop culture and academia, transforming the quirky girl next door into a well heeled “It” girl in the blink of a mink-lashed eye.
