And Other Things I Still Have to Explain - You Can't Touch My Hair
And Other Things I Still Have to Explain - You Can't Touch My Hair

Review:Just finished this book. As a Black woman, I found the subject matter fairly interesting, but the writing style was a little too wordy for me. Also, a lot of the material was not funny where the author's intent was clearly meant to convey funny. Being much older than the author, I found that many of her references in this book were people/things I could relate too. But overall a decent read. Read more

Review:I read this book as a part of a committee and wasn't crazy about it. I'm far from a prude but the obscene language was a bit much and overdone. She could have told the same story without excessive use of some of the chosen words. Overall topic of women's body image and the impact life experiences have had on her was good. She seems to have made an impact on other comedians and social media being used as a venue for bullying and speaking negatively about women. Read more

Stone Mattress: Nine Wicked Tales
Stone Mattress: Nine Wicked Tales

Review:Once upon a time, I joked that Margaret Atwood could write about a walk to the grocery store in such a way that it became a dangerous, harrowing, terrifying experience that prompted readers to question every aspect of the universe. Such a walk could lead to a deep examination of every facet of the human experience, and in analyzing our collected data, we would find ourselves severely lacking. Anyone we passed on the three block walk to the store would make us hyper aware of our flaws, our shortc... Read more

The Heart Goes Last: A Novel
The Heart Goes Last: A Novel

Review:In my late teens and early twenties Margaret Atwood was one of my favorite writers.... and then she got weird. I just finished reading her new book The Heart Goes Last. How disappointing. None of the characters were likeable and the story was both far fetched and kind of raunchy in a "gross-why-am-i-reading-this?" sort of way. Don't waste your time or money. Read more

William Shakespeare's The Tempest Retold - A Novel (Hogarth Shakespeare)
William Shakespeare's The Tempest Retold - A Novel (Hogarth Shakespeare)

Review:Margaret Atwood's story woven around Shakespeare's The Tempest, is a unique, entertaining tale. It is the story of a play, within a story, within a play, within a story. It is an enjoyable read, and great choice for the Hogarth Shakespeare series. Read more

Review:My mother-in-law is a big fan of Margaret Atwood and she passed this book along to me. We don't have the same taste in books, so I was a little wary at first. I shouldn't have been! This is a great story for anyone that likes to read interesting, intriguing stories.

Atwood starts you off in the present and introduces you to the four main characters of the story. Then you are taken back in the past to lean of each characters history. Then the book comes back to the present. It is not... Read more

You Know I Love You Because You're Still Alive - Confessions of a Middle Aged Working Mom

Review:I really found very little humor in this book. To be honest I couldn't get past the second chapter. I have raised 5 of my own children and the pride I have in them is in my heart and my mind. If I speak of it, it is to them. I really can't abide someone who bores everyone around her with "my son is better than yours" tales. Sorry, its just not my kind of book. Read more

Tales of the Jazz Age (A Penguin Classics Hardcover)

Review:This was a waste of ten dollars. Amazon should not list this as a book. It is a pamphlet that was 26 pages long. I wanted to read a novel after seeing the movie. I cannot believe that Amazon would rip off a good customer like that. Read more

Swear Word Coloring Book - 50 Shades Of Bullsh*t
Swear Word Coloring Book - 50 Shades Of Bullsh*t

Review:This swear word adult coloring book is my favourite coloring book I've gotten so far. Right off the bat the title is funny, usually a good sign and I really like the books with the black backgrounds because they make your finished work look great, the color really pops from the page. I'm new to the swear coloring books and I'm loving them so far, they are silly and funny and different to give you a change of pace from the normal books like mandala books or animas, nature etc. Well actually now y...
