She covers everything from her childhood in Texas (sparking her lasting interest in taxidermied animals) to her battle with depression and anxiety. More recently, Jenny Lawson, known on the Internet as The Bloggess, draws on the same humor and sarcasm that has made her a hit online in her book, Let's Pretend This Never Happened (A Mostly True Memoir)(Berkley, $16). What had started as little more than a small corner of the Internet soon became a sensation, though Powell is by no means the only blogger to find her name gracing the cover of a gorgeous hardcover. The blog became a book in 2005 ( Julie and Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously, Little, Brown, $7.99) and was adapted for the big screen by Nora Ephron in 2009. In 2002, in the early days of blogging, Julie Powell started a blog called the Julie/Julia Project in which she catalogued her attempts to cook all of the recipes in Julia Child's wildly popular cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking.
