I’m going to be the cheese that stands alone on this one, and I’m ok with that but I thought I should warn you. I know this is a much beloved book by many Cannonballers however, I find myself extremely underwhelmed by it. A large resounding meh is about all I can work up for it, and if I’m honest for The Bloggess and her blog. Which is probably an indication that this book really wasn’t for me in the first place. So yes, this […]
Really…is is just what it sounds like
I stumbled across Justin Valmassoi’s slightly emo tumblr a few years ago (if I remember correctly, the whole point of it initially was to get a girl, and maybe he did get the girl? I can’t remember). I read the whole thing in an afternoon, and promptly forgot about its existence until the book version popped up on my Overdrive. Reading the book version was basically the same experience: some of the caption/picture combinations made me laugh, some were kind of dumb, all of it will have evaporated […]
Read it for the puns, not the recipes
I have never watched Hannah Hart’s YouTube channel, in which she gets drunk and cooks things — although that does sound like fun. This book is not a cookbook, but rather a sort of rambling version of those videos (which presumably also ramble). She does include some recipes, but you’re not going to want to cook them, I promise. The puns are a lot of fun though, if you like your puns terrible and groan-worthy (as I do). “What do you call it when you drink […]
Now I just miss Pamie.com
My first exposure to Laurie Notaro was The Idiot Girls’ Action-Adventure Club: True Tales from a Magnificent and Clumsy Life — which I read on Pamie.com’s recommendation when I was a teenager. At the time, Notaro would have been in her 30s, and that book was full of silly stories about single girls in their 20s, battling hangovers at their minimum wage jobs. I loved it. Now, I’m 31, Notaro’s in her 50s, and her stories mostly revolve around making her husband crazy, and getting old and […]
“It sounds like I’m the Defense Minister of Ghosts and Goblins, but as long as the job is “all fairly self-explanatory…”
Y’all have been recommending this one forever, and I finally got a copy and read it, and LOVED IT. So thank you all for your excellent taste! The book opens with the line, “Dear You, The body you are wearing used to be mine.” And it just never slows down from there. “If you want to switch jobs, then you can come over here right now and balance the extermination budget in London while (shuffling through papers) figuring out why the hell a two-door wardrobe in […]
Thank You Cannonballers!
Rated 5 heart eyes I asked for recommendations on the Cannonball Read Facebook page for a romance with humor, good chemistry between the main characters, and a good plot. The Hating Game was described as “hilarious and quirky and perfect.” I read it and loved it so much. Definitely a book where I was staying up later than I should be reading because I wanted more. Lucy and Joshua are both assistants to the CEOs of two publishing companies that merged together. Lucy is sweet […]
