Get Out of My Head, Guy!

My Life as a Goddess, a memoir through (un)popular culture by Guy Branum

April 30, 2019 by lumenatrix 1 Comment

I got this as an audiobook, as I almost always do when reading a celebrity memoir, especially if it’s a comic. If you are going to read this book I recommend the audiobook. So I spent a good 90% of this book thinking, “I know, right??!!” It is almost creepy how much Guy Branum and I think alike. He grew up in a town about an hour away from where I grew up and he’s only about 4 or so years older, which I think […]

My Life as a Goddess was recommended to me by my sister, the elusive badkittyuno, who told me I needed to get the audiobook in order to enjoy the full experience. I will echo her advice- you must read this book, you should also try and listen to the audio. I know Guy Branum from Chelsea Lately but I grew tired of Chelsea Handler before Guy did so I didn’t know they’d had a falling out. It does seem like Guy has managed to come out on top […]
