I liked this a lot better than the last one, which made me feel like the series was starting to become aimless and no fun. It’s still not as purely fun here as it was in the first two volumes, but a lot of things were course corrected, and the last couple of pages were great. Suzie and Jon are both not doing so well post-breakup. Suzie is with the world’s most ‘meh’ man, and Jon is in an open relationship with a lovely woman […]
Well, I got my center square
Well, that was a book. I really wanted to like this. I like Craig Ferguson, even if for some damn reason my addled brain kept getting confused and thinking “this doesn’t read like it was written by Stephen Fry” when they’re really not terribly alike. I guess European men who vaguely remind me of my erudite and shameless father all just get lumped into one, so pay attention if I review anything by John Cleese to make sure it’s him, I guess. I bought this […]
The Wonky is Not the Donkey
I finally sat down and read The Wonky Donkey by the team of Craig Smith and Katz Cowley. And as I was assuming, the funniest part of this book is that video of the crazy lady unable to stop laughing as she reads it and the poor kid with her that has no clue what is going on! Maybe I would have liked it if I had not seen that infamous video. But, I am not sure. After all the “House that Jack Built” theme […]
My Six Hours Back
This is my Alabama Pink Bingo Square, chosen for being the cheapest book not about politics on the list. If I could get away with a musical review it would be the first three bars of “nobody but me” by the human beanz (a band name almost as stupid and ugly as this book) looped for ten straight minutes, just a cavalcade of NO. This book is so reductive I think it gives me negative credit for my underrepresented square. Handler is the worst kind […]
CBR Bingo(x4) Snubbed
“I lost a Tony award to Broadway legend Audra McDonald when I was twelve so I’ve been a bitter bitch since before my first period.” Anna Kendrick seems like the ideal author for “snubbed” because she has not only lost a Goodreads Choice award she has also lost a Tony, an Oscar, Golden Globe and SAG award. She did beat Ryan Reynolds for best Twitter personality at this year’s Kid’s Choice Awards so she is doing alright. I’d previously read Scrappy Little Nobody but for my reread I […]
CBR Bingo: (Grammy) Award Winner
If I could only read one category of book for the rest of my life it would probably be memoir. I’ve always been a fan of the genre whether they’re written by regular folks with a sense of humor, survivors of strange upbringings and of course celebrity memoirs. During Cannonball Ten I have been revisiting a few of these old favorites by listening to the audio-book to glean any additional insights narration may offer. I read and reviewed Carrie Fisher’s 2016 memoir The Princess Diarist last year for […]
