Funny celebrity memoirs — definitely one of my favorite categories. I might be stretching the definition of “celebrity” with Harrison Scott Key, but his was my favorite so I’m grouping it in here. Also, god bless Amy Poehler — her birthday is September 16th and she’s my Birthday square! (five stars) Congratulations, Who Are You Again? by Harrison Scott Key Harrison Scott Key wrote this great book I read earlier this year — The World’s Largest Man. It won a lot of prizes. It also […]

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 […]

A really boring review about a really funny book.

Tina Fey, man. What even is there to say? It’s her memoir. It’s really, really weird that I picked it up at all because there’s not much on this planet that I’m less interested in than celebrity memoirs. I’m an ISTJ, I’m interested in a lot of things, but not that. I reluctantly read Leah Remini’s book Troublemaker because I was curious about Scientology and it seemed like an accessible book about it, but read the parts about her life and career and behind the […]

God, I love this book –even though the cover still really creeps me out. I have read it before — 2013, it looks like — but haven’t listened to the audio version. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE AUDIO VERSION. If the written copy deserves 5 stars, the audio (read by the author, of course) should get 6! 7! Give Tina all the stars! “Some people say, “Never let them see you cry.” I say, if you’re so mad you could just cry, then cry. It terrifies everyone.” […]

A real look into sexism through humor and real life – no fuss, no muss

Although I am a somewhat recent convert into the world of strong female celebrity memoirs, I have recently read had 3 of them read to me by the authors through the fascinating experience that are audiobooks, and I must admit I have been converted. It’s always a breath of fresh air to have an intelligent woman talk to/at you for 4-6 hours about funny little anecdotes that may or may not carry some underlying lesson about the world. In the spirit of full disclosure, I have […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.
Dixie on Track Her Down by Melinda LeighI am just starting Track Her Down and I have read them all in order till now and thought I...
Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
