Welcome to Litsy!

One last review from my September reads. This was the first time in a long time I read an entire book in less than 24 hours, I was so entertained beginning to end. Certainly not everyone's cup of tea but if you're familiar with Haddish and her kind of humor and you're not easily offended and looking for a quick read to make you laugh, I highly recommend this 🦄🌈💕

An honest and hilarious account of Tiffany Haddish‘s life. She is incredibly talented and forth coming with her life experiences and less than perfect journey to fame. The audiobook is the bomb. Definitely something to catch and not miss.

The book I read called “The Last Black Unicorn” by Tiffany Haddish is what I chose to do my connotation and denotation. The denotation of the title is that there is only one black unicorn left. And the connotation for the title is Tiffany describing her self and what she has overcome.

This book was so funny and you could 100% tell that Tiffany had written this book. It wasn't clean or written perfectly it was messy and didn't always sound 100% PC, but it wasn't offensive either, it was just a woman writing how she felt and what she experienced. I loved it.

I think I'm going to make November biography month. I have a list of biographies and memoirs to read so Im going to get through some starting with this one since I love Tiffany Haddish.

After my third memoir by a famous person I‘ve since realized that I don‘t watch enough entertainment to really follow the shows and other people they talk about in their memoirs. No big deal, but just not apparently for me.

So, so funny! This book should definitely be experienced as the audio version read by Tiffany Haddish. I laughed through the whole thing. 😂 #bookspinbingo is going really, really well this month. @TheAromaofBooks

She is hilarious and a really beautiful person. I listened on audiobook and she was the one who read it and I honestly think that made it even funnier.

5⭐️ Let me start this by emphasizing that Tiffany Haddish is my girl. With that being said, this book was nothing like I expected it to be. Now that‘s not a bad thing, I‘m just saying that it wasn‘t anything like I was a expecting. If you‘re going into the story to just have a few laughs, it‘s not for you. But if you truly want to know who Tiffany is, and have a few laughs along the way, this is an amazing read.

I am loving memoirs and this one is narratored by Tiffany and I laughed so much! Definitely one everyone should check out! I loved learning more about her story and her life.

Memoir and comedy. Her story is full of hope even when dark.

Tiffany Haddish is hysterically funny, and I love when people narrate their own memoirs. I had no idea she's lived the kind of life she has. Everything about it is just... wild. And she somehow made even the most surreal things amusing. She keeps saying that she's using her bad situations to be funny, and it absolutely works.
However, this needs a domestic abuse/violence tw. A big one.

Crossstitching and audiobooks ❤️❤️❤️
This'll be a dragon with a hoard of teacups and saucers... eventually. Everything is tiny. I love it.

I appreciated Tiffany sharing the real raw parts of her life. I guess this just wasnt for me overall.

March 11, 2020 Ok. This book is not what I expected at all. When I saw this cover, it made me think that Tiffany Haddish was some kind of angel. She looks like she is part "angel" and part "unicorn". Obviously she is dressed up as a black unicorn (verbatim what thee title says). But once one reads what she says inside her book, she takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions of how she was treated by people when she grew up. So yes; just read

I admit I wasn't really a fan of Tiffany Haddish. I found her a bit obnoxious. BUT apparently I am a fan because I thought this book was HILARIOUS! And also tragic, as she has been through a lot of horrific stuff in her life. But even when she's telling you about some messed up s#&% you're still laughing. Another strong woman, who I need to give more credit to.

I was surprised by the amount of darkness in Tiffany's life. Her voice is so strong through all of this.

I asked for a hilarious book to listen to on a Facebook page and they did not let me down. Hoping to get the last bit listened to while I tackle the pantry. I decided to reorganize my bookshelf and love how it turned out. #alphabeticalbyauthor

Reading this book changed my opinion of Tiffany Haddish. I used to think she was loud and obnoxious, after reading her story I can understand why she is the way she is. Great Storyteller!!

Hilarious, of course, but so painful at times I had to set it aside for a bit. I listened to the audiobook and hearing her read some of these anecdotes in her own voice really cranked up the emotional impact. In any case, gives you a new appreciation for how Haddish got where she is in the comedy world, and yes! Lots of laughs too.

Intensely dark in places but I finished it - after a LOT of yelling at the audio. There‘s also a crazy song at the end. Definitely do the audio version if you read this one.

I can‘t stop listening to this but it‘s really dark. 😟

currently listening to: The Last Black Unicorn. Love that it‘s read by Tiffany Haddish; I think I‘m enjoying the book much more because it‘s read by the author!

(I‘m behind in updating and will catch up all at once!)

I listened to the audio of this and I think Tiffany has a great sense of humor and has overcome a lot. I didn‘t LOVE this but I appreciated parts of it very much.

Funny and edgy. I don‘t usually like to listen to audio but listening to someone tell their own story is impactful. Be warned. It is a sad, uplifting and raunchy memoir.

Trying to decide my next read. Typically don‘t read a lot of non-fiction but it‘s nice to break up my usual reading with different things. #Thelastblackunicorn or #thesoundofgravel, I‘m sure I‘ll change my mind multiple times in between now and me starting to read 😂

I just finished her Audiobook (read by the author herself). And I must say, I liked her before but now I love her and respect her so much. She had some tuff times growing up, and trying to become a comedian as a black woman was also hard. But she did it and she just has an amazing personality!

Picture says it all. 1:49am. 16% Batt. Just started the audiobook because I can't sleep.

If you need a good laugh please check this book out!!! I loved the audiobook💕I was laughing so hard listening to this one. I always like to learn about people‘s backgrounds!

Not sure I should be listening to this while at work. 😳

I got to pick out my own Mother's Day gift last night. I choose a book, duh.
I'm excited to read it but can we discuss why some cranky Walmart employee put the price sticker right on Ms. Haddish's face? 😆

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Struggled to read this one. Heard it was good as an audiobook, but I don‘t think it works in written form.

An amazing example of growing, fighting fierce, and overcoming lifes obstacles through laughter and a whole lot of sass.

I had never even heard of Tiffany Haddish before I read this, but the title and cover intrigued me. The stuff about her childhood was incredible - she has overcome so much trauma and horrible circumstances. But then she gets to her 20s, and I couldn't stand her. I couldn't care less about swearing or anything like that, but she's mean and clueless about how she effects other people. It became a one-star book for me in that section.

I LOVED this book. Obviously it was hilarious, but it was also honest and raw. She has the ability to insert humor into every story of her life, even at times when she shouldn‘t. Highly, highly recommended!

Another book done for #bookishbingo!

Tiffany Haddish had one heck of a life. While she's able to bring a lot of humor to her stories, there is also a realness and seriousness to them. She has gone through so much from having an abusive mom, going through the foster system, marrying an abusive husband... Through all that she has kept a positive attitude and become incredibly successful. She is an inspiring woman! #girlpower #humor #funny #serious #rolemodel #love #audiobook

I almost bailed on this one around the middle. It was an ok book by the end, except for a couple of chapters that I could have lived without hearing.

I remember this getting a lot of hype when it first came out, so I‘m sure there are tons of readers out there who this book really speaks to. Sadly I wasn‘t one of them. Moving on to new material.

Catching up on some #LitsyWalkers posts from last week, when I was in a brain fog reeling from life events. I had 10,000+ steps every day, which I‘m very happy about! For LW Bingo: #stampedinconcrete #red (the flower the statue is holding), and #flower.

And I bailed on this #audiobook after the chapter where she makes fun of a disabled man. 👎

My 3-mile #audiowalk this morning took me past this really cool graveyard, home to two signers of the Declaration of Independence. #LitsyWalkers #tombstone

Hilarious! After watching Girls Trip, I was an instant fan of Tiffany Haddish. And her book did not disappoint.

I‘ve only listened to 3 audiobooks in my life, but it was for sure the right call to listen to this book; Tiffany‘s narration is the cherry on top.

Be warned though there are problematic bits, which is pretty typical with comedians.

Quick fun read.
