I haven’t always loved Busy Philipps. Or rather, her characters. I’m looking at whoever she played on Dawson’s Creek. But I was also like early teens when I was watching that show, so really, I had no stake in the game. BUT. I did love her in Freaks and Geeks. And Cougar Town was hilarious.Continue reading “This Will Only Hurt a Little–Busy Philipps”

Born a Crime–Trevor Noah
This man. Born in South Africa, raised by a loving but hardheaded faith-driven woman, his father a Swiss-man that he barely had a relationship with because he was white and it was legitimately a crime for them to be family. This was another book that I listened to on audiotape because I got into aContinue reading “Born a Crime–Trevor Noah”
Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things—Jenny Lawson
After reading the horror show that is ‘A Simple Favor’ I needed a HUGE laugh and a promise of no incest. Enter Jenny Lawson. I had read one of her other books so I knew what I was getting into. The issue I had with this one is simple: I listened to it on audiobookContinue reading “Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things—Jenny Lawson”
This is Me–Chrissy Metz
Classic. After I said I was going to write every day I immediately forgot and here we are four days later. But here we go. SPOILERS TO “THIS IS US” FIRST SEASON. Now, I knew I was going to like this book immediately because I really like Chrissy Metz as a human. (Not that IContinue reading “This is Me–Chrissy Metz”
Slaughterhouse-Five–Kurt Vonnegut
I’m notorious for not liking classics at this point, yes? This one also joins the 3-star club. I’m also notorious for just blindly walking into a book instead of reading the dust jacket. Let me tell you what I thought this book was about. Based off the title alone I thought this was about fiveContinue reading “Slaughterhouse-Five–Kurt Vonnegut”
The Bend in the Road–Nicholas Sparks
I needed this book after I read Marilyn Mansons book. I needed to scrub my brain for awhile. So this is (naturally) a romance about how a mans wife was ended in a hit and run, she was the love of his life and nothing will ever be the same. Insert: His kids hot teacher.Continue reading “The Bend in the Road–Nicholas Sparks”
Summers Read Part 2
I’m backed up. Not…not in the bowel department. I don’t know why I feel like I needed to clarify that when you’ll see in a minute that I mean book reviews. Either way. Here we are. In The Woods–Tana French This book was total trickery. In that I didn’t realize it was a series. IContinue reading “Summers Read Part 2”
Harry Potter and The Cursed Child–J.K. Rowling, John Thorne, Jack Tiffany
I wish I had seen this in play form. This was so interesting and cool! Even though JK Rowling didn’t write the play itself, she did approve of this and it’s based on a short story she wrote. I missed my people. This is the only universe that’s ever felt completely like home to me.Continue reading “Harry Potter and The Cursed Child–J.K. Rowling, John Thorne, Jack Tiffany”
Mr. Pip–Lloyd Jones
This. This book. Woof. This was a case of judging a book by it’s cover and then not getting what I thought. The cover is a fun looking mosaic of flowers, really colour popping look to it. The actual story is beautiful and colourful and genuine and heart breaking. Not to mention a fantastic story.Continue reading “Mr. Pip–Lloyd Jones”
Through the Storm–Lynne Spears
You read that right. I read Britney Spears’ moms book. The funny thing about that is: 1) I could care less about anything Lynne Spears has to say. and 2) I found this book in a thrift store (surprise surprise) and found a ticket stub for a flight somewhere with a girls name on itContinue reading “Through the Storm–Lynne Spears”
