Television personality RuPaul Andre Charles, known simply as RuPaul, gives us this serene take on being your best self. As the narrator of his own title, he sheds the flamboyant personality that made him famous. He speaks quietly, confidently, like the very guru mentioned in the title, touting meditation and prayer in a steady, sincere voice. This is a surprising listen because of the intimate way he pares back his stage persona and let us access his other self, a spiritual person. This comes through in the many aphorisms sprinkled throughout the book, including "You are God's gift to the world..." and "We are all surrounded by angels..." He assures listeners that Mama Ru loves us, and we believe him. M.R. � AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine

The growing legion of fans of RuPaul's Drag Race know that its Emmy-winning host is more than just a pretty face in a blonde wig. RuPaul is also Mama Ru, a mentor to the young drag queens competing for the crown, encouraging them to be true to themselves and to find their tribe. Here he shares some of that wisdom, gleaned from more than 35 years in show business, with us mere mortals. Readers looking for an in-depth exploration of spirituality should look elsewhere, but those who are enamored of RuPaul's biting wit and pithy axioms will find both on display here, along with, perhaps more important, about 80 full-color, full-Glamazon photos. He touches on interesting issues, including finding your authenticity in the artifice of drag and the way drag challenges traditional ideas of masculinity. He also offers general beauty advice (the best way to deploy three sets of fake eyelashes) and the occasional health tip ("Take care of your f***ing teeth"). This might not provide a concrete new life philosophy, but GuRu?, like its author, is empowering in its fierce beauty. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: RuPaul's varied and growing audience will clamor.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
