Book #12 and ___ -Done

Well, I just got finished laughing my butt off (I wish that statement was true) at the hilarious memoir Let's Pretend this Never Happened by Jenny Lawson. If you were Kenny, you'd hate this book. Why, you ask?  Because your wife wouldn't be able to pipe down her laughing enough so that you could get a wink of sleep before waking up at 4 a.m. Aaaaanyway, I generously deleted the book # for Ms. Lawson because she freakin' hates the number thirteen  after twelve. You're welcome Jenny. I read the Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls, and this is like a really funny version of the same type of terrible stuff that happened to Jeanette in her memoir. (I highly recommend it, by the way). She writes a blog, and if your an asshat conservative person, then you will hate this book, and her blog. Otherwise, you will laugh and be thankful that this IS NOT YOUR LIFE! I guess that's all....except this:

Oh, book #12 was this adorable book for young readers called One Crazy Summer by Rita Williams Garcia. It is great for young readers. I enjoyed reading it for our Book Talk at school. The parents enjoyed it as well, so I'd recommend it!

School's out for summer, so let the reading begin!

Book #11 of 2012-Done!


I finished this wonderful book a couple of days ago, and my internet went down. So, now I am posting to share with you another winner of a book for me. Another Piece of my Heart by Jane Green. I am a fan! This is the first piece of her work I have ever read, and I am impressed! Another Piece of my Heart is the story of Andi, stepmom to the worst behaved teenager, who has a problem. The story unfolds around this problem, and I kept wanting to read more, and more. I don't want to give too much away in case you readers decide to pick it up!  Anyone who enjoys chick lit books will love this one.

I would like to extend a huge thanks !!!! to chicklitisnotdead.com for this book. I have a profound love for Liz and Lisa on that site. Check them out. Most (if not all) of my book recs come from their site, as well as manicmommy.blogspot.com.

I am currently reading One Crazy Summer for a Book Talk at my school, but I think I am going to go to the dark side soon....I am talking about you, 50 Shades.  

Looking forward to the weekend! Be blessed!
