Shonda Rhimes, the creator of hit shows Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, and How to Get Away with Murder, revealed the cover of her forthcoming book, Year of Yes!

According to PEOPLE, the book explores a year in the writer's life when, as the title suggests, she decided to say “Yes” to everything. “Saying yes for an entire year turned out to be one of the most amazing decisions I have ever made,” Shonda said in a statement. “It was also a little insane, a lot terrifying and sometimes wildly embarrassing. So this is not a story I ever planned to share with anyone.”

Check out the cover below!

Year of Yes is set to be released November 10, and I definitely have to snag a copy! Shonda is a very creative and inspiring person, so I want to read her advice and get to know more of her story. This is her very first book, and I'm sure it will be a great read!

Read the brief summary of the book, which is a personal memoir on J-Hud's 80 pound transformation after the jump!

Soulful and sultry, Jennifer Hudson wowed the world with her powerful voice in American Idol’s third season, and then took Hollywood by storm with a star turn in Dreamgirls that won her an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. But before we knew her as an American Idol standout, Jennifer was singing in her church choir in the Southside of Chicago. This uplifting memoir tells the story of Jennifer’s meteoric rise from American Idol to Dreamgirls to her amazing weight loss on the megablockbuster Weight Watchers diet plan. With the Weight Watchers brand endorsing her, Jennifer gives her fans tips for embracing a healthy lifestyle in order to lose weight and reclaim their bodies. Full of stories from her American Idol days, her experience acting in Dreamgirls, and how her son inspired her to want to live healthfully, this book is a gift for her millions of fans and an inspiration for anyone struggling with weight issues.

The book is set for release on January 10, 2012. You can pre-order a copy on Amazon or Barnes & Noble.

She looks absolutely amazing! My friend and I have called her our "thinspiration" in our weight loss journeys. Glad to see that she's working hard to maintain her weight! I might just buy this book. Definitely seems like it will be a great read.
