Navel Gazing: True Tales of Bodies, Mostly Mine (but also my mom's, which I know sounds weird) | 
pickI‘ve been a huge fan of MIB since his VH1 “I Love the XXs” days. He is so funny while being so eloquent. His “How to be Amazing” podcast is a great example of how he can be incredibly thoughtful and sincere while also making you laugh. This book is excellently paced, exploring some stories all throughout his (and his mother‘s) life. It is very well-written and absolutely worth a read.
First book I both started AND finished in 2018—and based on its strength alone, I think I‘m off to a good start on a promising reading year! 💙
Current audiobook loans (I have no idea how they‘re all men at once lol. I read mostly women!)
Here's a glimpse into the tippy top of my HUGE TBR pile. It is constantly evolving depending on the mood that strikes me, the buzz I see about a book, or just what I have on hand. I know many Littens can relate. Anyone read any of these? #tbrtuesday
pickSo funny!!
pickI just finished listening to this audio book written and read by Micheal Ian Black. It was pretty good, honest and heartfelt but also laugh out loud funny!😀⭐️👍
so-soThis was amusing enough to finish but not fantastic enough to recommend. It started out strong and then turned self-indulgent, and petty.
pickHilarious and oddly informative.
pickFittingly enough, finished this on Mother's Day. I'm a big fan of MIB, so for me, this was comfort food. This one took awhile to warm up to--however, Black's honest look at his relationship with his ailing mother as well as facing his own mortality managed to be both funny and heartbreaking.
pickCalling this a deftly woven tapestry of kinship, morbidity, sarcasm, and humor might make Michael Ian Black squirm-- mostly the "deftly woven tapestry" part-- but Navel Gazing is funny-because-it's-sad-and-true at its best. He tells it like it is.
