I continued my re-visiting of celebrity memoirs in audio-book form by listening to Tina Fey’s Bossypants and it was a delight. Tina Fey is one of my favorite humans and 30 Rock is one of my favorite TV shows. As I write this my husband and I are watching the series finale following what was most likely our 15th or 16th re-watch.* We probably couldn’t go a whole day without dropping at least one 30 Rock line.** I seriously considered having this whole review just being 30 Rock gifs but I […]
First I got up, then I had a piece of toast…
There’s a stand up comedian who had a bit about how boring it is to hear about other peoples’ dreams, how the description is always surreal to the teller but just illogical to the listener; the punch line being “there’s a reason you were asleep for this.” There’s a reason your books were inspired by rather than directly published from your diaries, sedaris. It kind of hurt to write that. I love David Sedaris, I love his writing. I often say of writers I love […]
Can I be friends with Tiffany Haddish plz?
Tiffany Haddish‘s memoir The Last Black Unicorn is a trip! I first came across her on Jimmy Kimmel retelling her now famous swamp tour Groupon story. She was hilarious and seemed like a ton of a fun. I’m so happy Groupon figured out what is up and has her doing commercials. I knew she was a comedian and starred in Girls Trip, but beyond that I didn’t know much about her. Thus, I was super pumped to read her book. And it did not disappoint! If you […]
faintingviolet gave me this book right before Carrie Fisher died, and I’m only now not too sad to read it.
I’ve really been trying to make an effort in 2018 to read books I already own. Currently the amount of books I own but haven’t read, including in audio and e-book, numbers around 221. faintingviolet gave me this book in the CBR book exchange in December 2016, two weeks before Carrie Fisher died. Even though I was beyond excited to finally have it in my possession, since it had been on my TBR for years and I’d never gotten around to it, I just couldn’t make myself read […]
Dino-Hockey
The Meat-Eaters take on the Veggiesaurs in a hockey match for the Jurassic Ages! History will be made! Fans of dinosaurs and hockey will love this book for young readers. Funny text that has a poetic, bouncy flow to it makes it a read aloud that adults and kids will love. With extremely full, vibrant, pop off the page colors and cartoonish characters, there is a lot to see. Do note that it could be hard to pronounce some of the names of the dinosaurs […]
A Couch for Llama
Some days you read a book and say, “OMG THIS IS THE BEST BOOK EVER!” And some days you read a book and say, “What was that all about?” A Couch for Llama is the second one. The whole story is simple: The family couch is loved only as a family can love a couch (it is all used and beat up). Family buys new one. An accident causes the llama to get the new couch. In llama fashion it treats it as only a […]
