It should come as no surprise that this author loves to read as well. Each month I’ll be posting the latest and greatest books that have had me laughing out loud, staying up all night, and shirking my chores to just keep reading.

Hilarious Must Reads

Sometimes, I just need to read something hysterical. Like, snorting with laughter hilarious. Like, laughing so hard and for so long that The Husband finally looks up from his computer screen to ask what the heck is so funny. I read two of those books this year. They are:

Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me (And Other Concerns). Confession: I have never really watched The Office. I had never heard of Mindy Kaling until rave reviews of this book kept popping up everywhere. I love this book. I kind of want to be friends with Mindy now. Mostly, I want to watch her TV show idea, Interspecies Friends. This book is super, super, super funny.

Bossypants. First, I love the title of this book. I am jealous because I would want my memoir to be titled Bossypants. Lord knows it would be apt. As I mentioned, this book had me lol-ing alot. But this is also the best self-help/advice book I have ever read because it doesn’t try to be preachy or self-helpy. It’s full of funny stories and cool, useful tips that Tina Fey learned along the way. Also, I have never really watched 30 Rock. But I think I should.
