Bright Lights, Big Ass by Jen Lancaster

In preparation for this review, I wanted to see what I said about the author's first book. Um, apparently I was a tad short on words. Not that I didn't like it. . . I just didn't have much to say, apparently.

In any case, Bright Lights, Big Ass is Jen Lancaster's follow-up to her kick ass first book. And this one? Kicks just as much ass (which is good, since ass is in the title, although not in the same context).

Jen, is who I would be if I was a little less bitchy and a little more funny. She has her bitch moments, but the funny outweighs. The fact that she owns a gray cat is just a bonus. This second memoir (and we all know-memoirs are my fav!) is even better than the first. Better writing, funnier moments-all in all it takes the first book and changes her from a blogger with a book deal to a writer.

It can't get much better than that.

carry me down by M.J. Hyland

I finished this book about a month ago. It's been sitting on my desk, waiting for a review, but I haven't been able to muster up the strength to write one. Not because I am lazy. No, mostly because I can't think of anything to say about it.

carry me down by M.J. Hyland is one boring book. I can't even think of one redeeming quality. There was not even one sentence that touched me or made me think. It certainly didn't make me laugh. I was not invested in the characters.

This book, was a waste of trees.
