I can still vividly remember clicking onto Pajiba in March of 2009, to see Dustin’s post that AlabamaPink had died from leukemia. I know I gasped aloud and started reading thinking “no, no, no, no.” How could the death of this person I’d never met affect me so much? A young mother, whose witty, snarky comments had made me laugh was no longer on this Earth, and I was just sitting at a computer, expected to carry on the work of the day as usual. […]
I too did not like this. #CBRBingo #Blackout!?
Well I tell you what, this book. It was just unpleasant. I would not have picked this up if it weren’t for bingo, and none of the other choices looked at all appealing. I thought, well if you pick that one at least you won’t be bored! And that was true. But my version of not being bored mostly consisted of me yelling at my audiobook about how much I disliked almost everything that was going on. Maybe she is a different author now but […]
#CBR Bingo: #Cannonbookclub (Bingo #5)
#CBR10Bingo: #CannonBookclub I voted for this book in the most recent Book Club poll because Craig Ferguson’s autobiography is hugely enjoyable and one of the best ones I’ve read/listened to (I have the audiobook, narrated by Ferguson himself), and as a result, I was curious and excited at the chance to read a work of fiction by him. Unlike some who have already reviewed this book (by now quite a few, I’m yet again behind on my reviews), I didn’t really watch a lot of Ferguson’s stuff as a […]
When does this woman have time for her comedy?
My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One Night Stands is my AlabamaPink cbr10bingo book. I figured it would be the most fun after reading the other titles descriptions. I also would never pick this book up on my own as I am not a fan of Ms. Handler. Chelsea Handler focuses on a few of her favorite, or at least interesting (to her), sexual encounters. If you are looking for porn, thankfully, this is not it. Considering her reputation, this is tame. Sure, she swears and talks […]
