My shelf is basically my bathroom windowsill and has:
Total Immersion, Brown Sugar Moisturizer, Hempz Moisturizer,
Insurance, Cappuccino, Sweet Brown Sugar, Iced Creme, Melon Frappe, Margarita Madness, Butter, and a crapload of packets. It's ridiculous, I should just buy packets because I rotate so much I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever finish any of these off while they're still good! Too much new stuff comes out, too fast!
On the book topic, I could give you a huge list of books like the Shopaholic books. I've read some hysterically funny ones recently. The most recent one was L.A. Woman by Cathy Yardley. My all-time fave so far is Jemima J by Jane Green (all of her books are a hoot though).
