The DOOL Summer Book Club

Ah Summer! Time to relax on the beach with a cool drink and a good book.

And let's face it if anyone needs a good self help book, it's the people who live in the capitol of dysfunction, yep, dear old Salem.

So here are my suggestions for books and who should be reading them.


Although there are some couples in Salem who seem to be hitting the sheets every chance they get lately , there are those who could stand to turn the heat up a might. So for Maggie and Mickey, John and Marlena, Abe and Lexi, and Bo and Hope -














Ah the kids of Salem. Most of whom wouldn't recognized their parents if they had to pick them out of a police line up, we feel your pain. So for Ciara, Johnny, Ali, Claire, Theo and the newest member of the "Moppets Without Moms & Dads" Club, Lil Joe -














Dr. Laura. Love her or hate her (there's no in-between it seems) you have to admit she tells it like it is. You may not want to hear what she has to say, and hate the way she says it, but sometimes the truth hurts. So for Chloe, Sami, Nicole, Stephanie, and Chelsea -














There are times when I truly believe the entire population of Salem could use this book, but I'll stick to the ones who need it the most. For Sami, Nick, Chelsea, Max, Stephanie, Lexi, Chloe, Nicole, Ava, and Lucas -














Then there are those who, no matter how hard they try, end up spending Valentine's day alone and miserable. Sometimes through their own fault, sometimes not. So for Nick, Victor, Ava, Chloe, Nicole and EJ -














If you don't know who needs this book, you either don't watch DOOL enough or you don't get it. For Kayla, Hope, Maggie, Marlena, Kate, Lexi and Sami -














What would we do without the Salem Psychos? As boring as DOOL can be, just think how much more boring it would be if we didn't have the stalkers, the freaks, and the obsessive! So for Ava, Chloe, Nicole, Sami and Chelsea -














There are times when I think the people of Salem wouldn't be happy if they weren't messing up their lives. So for pretty much EVERYONE in Salem -













LIES! Lies and deceit! Something tells me they are part of the Salem Charter. Although most of the population wouldn't know the truth if it slapped them up side the head, there are those who have turned it into an art form. So for the unfortunate people who end up involved with these masters of mendacity, specifically Roman, Abe, Nick, Kayla, Bo and Lucas, we recommend -













If you wanted to get rich you'd start an Anger Management class in Salem. It would be overflowing for every meeting! Even so, there are those who are worse than others in the short fuse department. For Lucas, John, Kate, Ava, Bo, Nicole and Abe -














What would DOOL be without feuds, vendettas, grudges, bones to pick, jealousies, and just plain old hard feelings. Some people handle it better than others, some never learn. For Sami, Nicole, Kate, Lucas, Chelsea and Anna -















Some girls get it when a guy doesn't call. Some girls don't And then there are the girls of Salem who take not getting it to a whole new level. For Chelsea, Nicole, Ava, Kate and Stephanie -

Even though we all danced our way through the 80's to "Addicted To Love" some of the Salem crowd took the song to heart a little too much. For Ava, Kate, Marlena, John, Sami, EJ, Lucas, Chelsea, Nicole and Chloe -

As much as men claim to be mystified as to why women always seem to fall for the "bad boys", we women are just as confused as to why the nastiest mean girls always ends up with the super nice guys. And the worst part is, they walk all over them, stomp on their hearts, dump them and leave them ruined for the rest of us. Although there is a noticeable lack of good girls in Salem, there are a few and I am sure they would love to read this book and get some answers.
For Kayla, Abby, Jennifer and Stephanie -














And last but not least. You've heard about it, you've joked about it, but until now, you never really believed it existed.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you,
THE GUY MANUAL -
