I Want to Be Where the Normal People Are by Rachel Bloom

February 23, 2021 by Mobius_Walker 3 Comments

Rachel Bloom is a comedic force. In her memoir I Want to Be Where the Normal People Are, Bloom walks us through her life from childhood all the way through the birth of her first child. Bloom holds nothing back. I mean nothing. There are stories about learning how to poop in a toilet, learning about and enjoying masturbation, how she was bullied as a child, what living with obsessive-compulsive disorder was like, and more! Bloom frequently dips in and out of presenting her life factually […]

Crazy New BEST Friend?!

I Want to be Where the Normal People Are by Rachel Bloom

December 18, 2020 by andtheIToldYouSos 8 Comments

I must start by thanking ASKReviews for letting us all know that there was a SECRET MUSICAL in the middle of this audiobook! I heeded their recommendation to “Get the Audio Version”, and boy howdy am I glad I did! Not only do we get a musical adventure about Rachel Bloom’s desire to be a musical theater STAAAR, the musical is performed by her harmonizing with herself, herself, herself, herself, and maybe another Rachel Bloom or two. Bloom’s voice is so important here; her style, […]

Rachel Bloom is the Rachel Bloom-iest and I lurv her

I Want To Be Where the Normal People Are by Rachel Bloom

December 4, 2020 by ardaigle Leave a Comment

If you do not know who Rachel Bloom is, she is the creator/star of the CW TV Show “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.” If you don’t know what that TV show is, buckle up. It is a 45 minute musical comedy show wherein the titled “crazy ex-girlfriend” uproots her life and moves from New York to West Covina California NOT because she runs into her camp ex-boyfriend but because she wants a change of pace. (Except it’s totally because of Josh but also because she is on the […]

Get the Audio Version

I Want to Be Where the Normal People Are by Rachel Bloom

November 22, 2020 by ASKReviews 2 Comments

Best for: Fans of Rachel Bloom, fans of comedic but heartfelt autobiographies In a nutshell: Actor / Singer / Writer Rachel Bloom shares stories from growing up, dealing with bullies, creating her career, and just living her life. Worth quoting: Loads, but I listened to the audio version while running, so couldn’t exactly take notes. Why I chose it: I loved Crazy-Ex Girlfriend. I thought it was interesting and funny and I was genuinely blown away by the team’s ability to write multiple musical numbers […]

Cut and Run by Ben Acker, Ben Blacker

March 6, 2020 by scootsa1000 Leave a Comment

Cut and Run was one of my free Audible Originals last month. It is an absurd little story about a rag-tag team of organ harvesting good guys down in Mexico. Honestly, its best not to care too much about the plot, because, as I said, it is absurd. But this thing has a murderer’s row of a cast! It was a delight to listen to from start to finish. The performers really raised the quality of the material. We have D’Arcy Carden as Sam, the […]
