I just bought Kristin Chenoweth's new book "A Little Bit Wicked: Life, Love and Faith in Stages" at my Barnes & Noble store here in Fort Worth. I pre-ordered it and the store decided to buy their own copies, so they released it today instead of Tuesday. I have only read the first two chapters and seen the full-color photos and they look great. Who else is getting the book or has gotten it already?

I'm definitely planning on getting it as soon as I finish up my other books. Can't wait to read it.

I'm getting it on Thursday because I'm going to a book discussion/signing. :) It's the one at the Paley Center for Media. Is anyone else going?

POSSIBLE SPOILERS




So far, she has talked about the relationship with her grandparents and how she coped with their deaths and how she may not want to ever be in contact with her birth mother. She has gotten deep... and I've only read the first two chapters! She introduces the first chapter, not Overture prologue, by telling a story about when she had an unpleasant interaction with a flight-attendant and she ends the chapter with the final main point of the story. She asked her her name and the attendant wouldn't respond. She said she wanted to pray for her. Her response: I don't need your prayers. Cheno's response: ...I need your name... I am going to pray to God specifically about you.

This seems to be a really great book so far. I have had a "habit" of buying autobios this year. Besides "A Litle Bit Wicked", I have purchased and read "Here's the Story" by Maureen McCormick, "sTORI Telling" by Tori Spelling, and "Elvis and Me" by Priscilla Presley. Out of these four, Cheno's is at the top so far!

I got the book last week. It is a fun, quick read. I would have preferred more focus on the various Broadway experiences she has had, but that is probably just me.

I just bought it! I, too have only looked at the pictures, but I can't wait to sit down and read it. It looks a little short...

I read it in a week. I loved loved loved it.

Fun easy read but you can almost hear her just telling the stories. I actually would love to hear the Audio version just to hear her tell them.

I read it a couple months ago when I got an advanced reader's copy of it. Great book. She's really funny and it's a quick read. Overall, lots of fun. I liked the stuff about her and Aaron Sorkin. Their relationship is very interesting.

Oh my gosh, I'd love to hear an audio version. That would be great because she writes as if she were telling these stories.
