Look at the cover of this book. Or Google it, if for some reason my book cover isn’t showing up (which they haven’t been doing lately and am I doing something wrong?). Anyway, examine the cover. Look at the handsome actor with his cleft chin, presumably standing in the rain in this black and white shot that somehow conveys angst, and art, and sacrifice. This book can absolutely be judged by its cover. You don’t need to know anything else about it. I would not […]
“You can have anything, once you admit you deserve it.”
I am on a new medication that apparently causes insomnia. Unfortunately, I discovered this at 1:30 on Saturday morning, while at a friend’s house. I woke up, on a strange couch, and could not fall back asleep for anything. Since I wasn’t home, I couldn’t just turn on the TV or grab a book or whatever. So I went on Overdrive, downloaded this book, and read the whole thing. “For as long as I could remember, I had been apologizing for existing, for trying to […]
“I’m proud to be a work in progress.”
I downloaded this audiobook because someone on here reviewed it favorably (I’m 5 reviews behind so I’m not going to take the time to look up who, but thanks!) and I needed something to listen to while I’m waiting for my next Audible credit to spend on Outlander. I had no idea that Hannah Hart was the Drunk Kitchen chick, despite having recently read the Drunk Kitchen cookbook. The cookbook was fun and all, but this autobiography was excellent. I’d highly recommend the audio version, read by the author […]
Not sure if it was a *good* book, but I definitely got hooked by it
Quite a few of y’all have reviewed this one already, so here I am to throw in my two cents. This is the book where the main couple, Anne and Marco, spend the evening at their neighbors’ house for a dinner party while leaving their six month old daughter behind in a crib with the baby monitor on. They agree to check on her every 30 minutes all night and everything seems fine. Then when they leave at the very end of the night she’s […]
National Treasure, Betty White
So I will admit that my first known exposure to Betty White was as the sassy old lady in Lake Placid (one of the greatest movies of all time, and I’ll fight you on that) who feeds her husband to the crocodile. She cracked me up with her foul mouth and her cute little face. I’ve always kind of been aware of Betty White, without ever having watched an episode of Golden Girls or any of the many, many sitcoms, game shows and late-night TV […]
“Human beings are not categorically bad because of their mistakes.”
So when I picked up In the Country We Love: My Family Divided, I thought for a second that the girl on the cover looked just like Lea Michele, but wasn’t. Then I started reading it. It took me about a quarter of the way into the book, looking at this girl’s pictures from growing up, to realize that she IS an actress, and I know her from Orange is the New Black. So everyone else is probably ahead of me on that, but I would […]
