From Bitter Is the New Black to The Tao of Martha, shes managed to document her (and her generations) attempts to shape up, grow up, and have it allsometimes with disastrous results Sure Jen has made mistakes. She spent all her money from a high-paying job on shoes, clothes, and spa treatments. She then carried a Prada bag to the unemployment office. She wrote a whole memoir about dietingbut didnt lose weight. She embarked on a quest for cultural enlightenment that only cemented her love for John Hughes movies and Kraft American Singles. She tried to embrace everything Martha Stewart, while living with a menagerie of rescue cats and dogs. (Glittereverywhere.) Mistakes are one thing; regrets are another. After a girls weekend in Savannah makes her realize that she isyikes!middle-aged (binge watching is so the new binge drinking), Jen decides to make a bucket list and seize the day, even if that means having her tattoo removed at one hundred times the cost of putting it on. From attempting a juice cleanse to studying Italian, from learning to ride a bike to starting a new business, and from sampling pasta in Rome to training for a 5K, Jen is turning a mid-life crisis into a mid-life opportunity, sharing her sometimes bumpybut always hilariousattempts to better her lifeagain.

Not sure if I‘m gonna make 24 hours - not much time left now. But I‘m gonna try for 24b4monday! This one was okay. There were some funny parts and interesting ideas about bucket lists and living life to its fullest, but in some ways I felt like it needed more of a revelation in the end. I didn‘t see what the impact of this was really, but I did laugh at a few parts. (My other reading buddy in the background, my cat, Bull).

BeansPage You're doing awesome sweetheart just keep it up! You have until midnight 😁🎉🎉🎉 6y

#TBRtemptation post 2! This is a memoir full of zany fun and humor. The NYT-bestselling author has a mid-life crisis and decide to re-invent herself, so she makes a bucket list to seize the day! She'll pay lots more to have a tattoo removed than she paid to have it; do a juice cleanse; study Italian & sample pasta in Rome; train for a 5K; learn to start a business; and much more. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

I have a love/hate relationship with this author but I have to say that this one was funnier than her last. Her first few books were hilarious.

It has been a very slow reading month for me. This is less then half of my usual number of books. It has been so busy around here. Breathing Under Water was the very best book I read this month. I also really enjoyed I Regret Nothing, which was a pleasant surprise. #bestofnovember #photoadaynov16

I'm enjoying this one. Maybe it's because I'm at that point in my life....

Texreader Pretty accurate about life. Wow. I also wonder where the "complete belief she can change the world" went so many years ago. I'm now content with the belief that my kids will change the world. 8y
JacqMac @Texreader Right? I have high hopes for my children. 😬 8y

Typical Saturday night. I'm curling up with a new ebook. I like Jen Lancaster, but I find her newer books can be hit or miss, so I usually borrow them from the library first. *fingers crossed* Hoping for a hit.

britt_brooke I agree with you 100%. I loved her first few memoirs. She's been hit or miss for me since she started writing fiction, too. 8y

A glass of unsweet tea, even though I am a Georgia girl. (I would rather eat my calories) Waiting on chicken enchiladas at my favorite restaurant and then back to work.

SusanInTiburon Out here in Cali for is we call that "iced tea" ? 8y
Kappadeemom @SusanInTiburon this is a Southern blasphemy 😃 8y

So this is the most boring book haul ever because I purposefully didn't buy a single book in August (although there is still one day left and I could blow the month's restraint tomorrow). #augustphotochallenge #augusthaul

Amanda here -- Jenn is hilarious and every time I hear "Fat Bottomed Girls" I will always think of her and her adult tricycle from now on.
