Kissing books with varying degrees of actual kissing (Ayesha At Last might be the most chaste book I’ve read all year, but it’s still very romantic). Ordered vaguely from least favorite to most. (3 stars) Evidence of the Affair by Taylor Jenkins Reid I’m always on the lookout for new Taylor Jenkins Reid, and after I finished Daisy Jones I had a definite hankering. Luckily, Reid published a story I’d never come across before, and it was available free through Amazon. Unfortunately, it was a short […]

All right, we’re going to start with the cheesy fiction and move on to very serious non-fiction. (4 stars) Pandemic (The Extinction Files #1) by A.G. Riddle Holy exposition, Batman. I have NEVER read a book that did so much telling instead of showing. I swear, a good 50% of this novel is composed of flashbacks, recovered memories or letters discovered in secret hideouts. That being said, I found it wildly entertaining and now feel very nostalgic for the medical thriller books my best friend […]

Books that you nerds will love

Harry Potter: A History of Magic by British Library, J.K. Rowling

I’ve got three delightfully nerdy books for you to read: dinosaurs, Harry Potter, AND punctuation marks! A Grown-Up Guide to Dinosaurs by Ben Garrod I have a father who is very involved in the Dallas Paleontology Society, and two little boys under the age of nine, so you can imagine that dinosaurs play a big part in my life. Despite that, there is still so much about dinosaurs that I don’t know! This book is aimed at adults who loved dinosaurs as kids and sort […]

August 22, 2019 by badkittyuno Leave a Comment

Erin Gibson, Darrell Hammond and Nora McInerny Purmort have all been through some SHIT — and they’re going to share that with us served alongside some humor. Feminasty: The Complicated Woman’s Guide to Surviving the Patriarchy Without Drinking Herself to Death by Erin Gibson Based on her podcast Throwing Shade (which I’ve never listened to, but I imagine I would like), Feminasty is Erin Gibson’s excellent collection of essay that will make you laugh even if all you want to do is cry and rage at […]

Slightly More Serious Celebrity Memoirs

Too Much Is Not Enough by Andrew Rannells

Boys Keep Swinging: A Memoir by Jake Shears

Blowing the Bloody Doors Off: And Other Lessons in Life by Michael Caine

August 21, 2019 by badkittyuno Leave a Comment

I’ve got three more memoirs to review here, and then I’ll be caught up with this category! Thank god for CBR Bingo y’all — I’ve only got 33 books left to review… (4 stars) Too Much Is Not Enough by Andrew Rannells I’ll admit before starting this I didn’t have a clue who Rannells was. You might not either. It does not matter to enjoy this book — usually I like to read books by well-known actors because it gives a glimpse into behind the […]

Funny celebrity memoirs — definitely one of my favorite categories. I might be stretching the definition of “celebrity” with Harrison Scott Key, but his was my favorite so I’m grouping it in here. Also, god bless Amy Poehler — her birthday is September 16th and she’s my Birthday square! (five stars) Congratulations, Who Are You Again? by Harrison Scott Key Harrison Scott Key wrote this great book I read earlier this year — The World’s Largest Man. It won a lot of prizes. It also […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.
Dixie on Track Her Down by Melinda LeighI am just starting Track Her Down and I have read them all in order till now and thought I...
Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
