Well I tell you what, this book. It was just unpleasant. I would not have picked this up if it weren’t for bingo, and none of the other choices looked at all appealing. I thought, well if you pick that one at least you won’t be bored! And that was true. But my version of not being bored mostly consisted of me yelling at my audiobook about how much I disliked almost everything that was going on. Maybe she is a different author now but […]
I wish this book had never come to me (or: I’ll take “Lazy, Unfunny Review Titles for Lazy, Unfunny Books” for $200, Alex)
CBR10Bingo: Alabama Pink (BINGO!) I chose Chelsea Handler’s My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands for my Alabama Pink square, thinking I could breeze through it, laughing a bit along the way and then completely forgetting it as soon as I finished, but man, this book was so bad that I couldn’t get past the fifth chapter. I’d already powered my way through some terrible books this year, and the world is just too crappy a place right now, so I gave myself permission […]
“Where did I go wrong in life?” Everywhere, Chelsea. Everywhere.
Right off the bat, I don’t like this. I wouldn’t have chosen it but for the fact it was the only book I could get other than Wicked, and I read that a while ago. And we start with a seven-year-old busting into her parents bedroom to photograph them having sex, based off a bet by her older sister? A seven-year-old who practices swearing and is proud of the fact. Nope. I don’t know how much of this is based on truth and how much […]
When does this woman have time for her comedy?
My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One Night Stands is my AlabamaPink cbr10bingo book. I figured it would be the most fun after reading the other titles descriptions. I also would never pick this book up on my own as I am not a fan of Ms. Handler. Chelsea Handler focuses on a few of her favorite, or at least interesting (to her), sexual encounters. If you are looking for porn, thankfully, this is not it. Considering her reputation, this is tame. Sure, she swears and talks […]
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 […]
I wanted to laugh more!
cbr10bingo… Alabama Pink I listened to this book, which I think is the optimal way to read it. It wasn’t narrated by Chelsea, but the narrator was good. I read this for cbr10bingo, and it was my Alabama Pink choice. I remember when CBR first started, and I thought “there’s no way I can read that many books”, and now I’m on my fourth CBR and kicking ass. I love it. Bingo is a new and exciting twist this year that’s just making me want […]
