Dumplin’ by Julie Murphy

My beautiful Dumplin’. This book was so wonderful I started a book club. Now, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that I’m a chubby bunny. I mention it whenever I read a book by or about chubby girls. So reading about this chubby teenager who is constantly crapped on for being fat broke my heartContinue reading “Dumplin’ by Julie Murphy”

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”

The Time of My Life–Cecelia Ahern

I always trust that when I pick up a Cecelia Ahern novel that I’m going to like it. There’s just so much magic in her stories that I really love them all.

Because part of my New Year Resolution is to make new goals every month. January goals went pretty well! I kicked my Tim Hortons habit! (Bye bye FrenchContinue reading “Work It Out”

Paddle Your Own Canoe–Nick Offerman

If Mindy Kaling is my spirit animal, Nick Offerman is my disgruntled guardian angel. He has a special way of speaking and writing that is so inviting I’m looking forward to his other works. This book is so chock-full of wisdom that you come away a better person. Or at the very least, with someContinue reading “Paddle Your Own Canoe–Nick Offerman”

Why Not Me?–Mindy Kaling

As I’ve said before: Mindy is my spirit animal. I had a theme going for a short time where I was reading books by thoughtful but filthy minded and mouthed women who tell it like it is and actually connected with me on a level some authors never reach with me. Mindy always gets throughContinue reading “Why Not Me?–Mindy Kaling”
