Yet again, I’m really not sure why I picked this book, other than it kept getting recommended to me based on other things I’ve read.  I couldn’t really get into The Office,  Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, or Bridesmaids, and I really don’t know anything else about the author other than her roles.  That said, I was looking for a new audiobook and this became available and I went for it.

Cannonball gift exchange is one of my favorite Christmastime traditions and this year my not so secret Santa was our Bingo organizer extraordinaire emmalita! Thank you for Ellie Kemper’s My Squirrel Days (my library doesn’t have it!), a Michelle Obama coloring book and the Kindle edition of Snoop Dogg’s From Crook to Cook which I did not know I needed but am super excited about.
