Wildflower | Drew Barrymore

pick

#nonfiction2019 #madeyoulaugh This was so refreshing and down to earth, with many comedic moments. The silly side of Drew shines through! Rather than a linear telling, this was snippets of experiences from Drew‘s life, that illustrate her coming of age into a beautiful grounded centered woman , wife, mother. I didn‘t realize her youth had been so difficult, she‘s come a long way, and tells her story with heart and humor! ❤️🌸 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Furiously Happy: A Funny Book about Horrible Things | Jenny Lawson

pan

This book is finally over!🎉🎉😳

Other than one or two essays, I was not a fan of Lawson‘s style. I usually don‘t like books by bloggers, and this definitely felt like a compilation of blog posts instead of a book. The rambling drove me nuts. But it was the only audiobook I had on hand, so I powered through.

Really happy with my walking mileage this week! Bike miles: 36.1 #LitsyWalkers #green

#nonfiction2019 #madeyoulaugh (it did, twice)

Riveted_Reader_Melissa, Kaye

alisiakae Also fulfills the #readingwomenchallenge prompt : book about a woman with a mental illness. (edited) 6y

Kaye Great job 💖. Green on your Bingo card. 6y

gradcat 😂😂😂 Love your sentiment there...at least you didn‘t bail, right? 6y

hermyknee I didn‘t like this one at all either 6y

alisiakae @gradcat I think the main reason I continued is because it fills a prompt for two challenges! @hermyknee good to know I‘m not the only one. It feels like a very #unpopularopinion 6y

hermyknee I don‘t even think I finished listening to it. I was annoyed. 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I love an “unpopular” review, I have a hard time giving them, but find them so refreshingly honest! 6y

alisiakae @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I also have a hard time giving negative reviews, esp with memoirs. I think it‘s great that her books are impactful and meaningful for a lot of readers, and as someone with anxiety, I could definitely relate. Her style is just not for me. 6y

Crazeedi Such pretty posies! Can't wait for spring flowers here! 6y

Reagan I really enjoyed her first book, but this one was not for me. I did not enjoy it either and I found it took forever to read. 6y

alisiakae @Reagan-reads I had to power through the last 1 1/2 hrs of the audiobook since It was due back on Overdrive. 6y

Kaye BINGO— are you using flower as your bingo item ? We‘re trying to track everyone‘s daily items. Thank you. 6y

alisiakae @kaye I‘m using green! 6y

DarcysMom Wow! You had awesome mileage this week! 6y

alisiakae @DarcysMom Thanks! And I‘m taking off completely today, I‘ve barely logged 2,000 steps. 6y

DarcysMom @4thhouseontheleft Days off are important! I commit to one day off a week - it really helps my overall performance. 6y

alisiakae @DarcysMom Friday was my scheduled day off, except for the walks to/from school, which I don‘t count. But I feel like I‘m fighting off a cold today, so I definitely am not getting on a bike or walking in the rain! 6y

Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: And Other Lessons from the Crematory | Caitlin Doughty

pick

Grab up this book if you want a frank discussion of the decisions family members must make when a loved one dies. Or if you‘d like some history about how funeral and mortuary services evolved in America. It‘s a plus if you‘ve been told you have a morbid sense of humor. Because the author does!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Yes, the video of the grandma reading this is really funny but the book itself is pretty funny too! Great rhyming book for the little ones. I can't imagine anyone reading this without having a twitch of the lips.

AlaMich OMG that video was hilarious!! My wife teaches first grade and ordered the book for her class. However, her principal nixed it, her reason being that it might encourage the kids to mock the disabled. 🙄🙄🙄 (edited) 6y

mrp27 @AlaMich That's a bummer! Such a silly joyful little book. 6y

vkois88 I've heard good things about this one!! I'll be keeping an eye out for it 6y

Elma My dad has this crazy idea that digital books are free, so he can't figure out why I still have an actual library and don't just get rid of all the books and convert them to digital. 6y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Elma I feel like I‘m not actually getting anything when I buy them digitally.. I‘m just old school!! Lol 6y

BooknerdsLife 😆😂😂😂👏👏 6y

BooknerdsLife @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I agree! 😂 Ebooks are convenient but nothing can compare with real books! @Elma your dad is cute! 😆 6y
