Give Elaine Lui credit. She could have been lazy and made her first book a spinoff of her outrageously successful Lainey Gossip blog, but instead she decided to write a memoir. Actually, Listen To The Squawking Chicken: When Mother Knows Best, What’s A Daughter To Do? A Memoir (Sort Of), from Random House ($27.95) is a tribute to her Hong Kong-born mom, who was one tough cookie. Fortunately, Lui’s as funny on the page as she is online. She talks about the book at Indigo Manulife on May 4. See book listings.
