Read as my second #Roll100 December pick #73 Any Memoir/Biography & to fill a prompt in my Goodreads challenge. I wanted to like this book for it to be funnier & more about actual cults. I just didn‘t get it or like it, especially the audiobook. I didn‘t know this comedian so I tried watching her special on Netflix & it didn‘t help me find her less annoying. I sped through the last third for the sake of the prompt.

The Big Demise! Or Big Dumb Eyes. I have watched his specials and enjoyed them. This was in my want to read list and then it was on sale. I have struggled to read for fun lately so it was a good one to enter back in with. Enjoyable and quick read.

Best song ever. I married into a large family where this song is our song. We dance to it with all our celebrations. #ARichLife @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

What a powerful book and such an important topic… even though it was uncomfortable to read at times it had me hooked! Genova is a master of bringing hard topics to the forefront!

This memoir was a heartwarming and funny follow-up to my SNL-themed reading spree. Molly was on SNL from 1995-2002, clearly starting the trend for many more women writers and cast members, ultimately igniting the show‘s popularity to really explode. I think Mary Katherine Gallagher would agree that Molly‘s over-the-top energy and fierce love for making people laugh make her the perfect SSSSSUPERSTAR!

I‘ve been listening to Thatcher Stole My Trousers by Alexie Sayle and I‘m absolutely loving it. I like non-fiction that is not text book like. Alexie writes sometimes like he‘s setting up a literary game of Jenga. He builds this tower, with his artistry and excellent descriptive powers and then knocks it down with precise, well observed humour and self-depreciation. It‘s as if he‘s like a supreme comedian who‘s been doing it for decades
