The Bloggers Book Club

This is the no pressure book club. If you have read a great book, blog about it, and if we are interested in it we will read it and comment about it. It's that simple. See, no pressure, no monthly meetings, ah!

I Love Everybody (and other Atrocious Lies): True Tales of A Loudmouth Girl by Laurie Notaro


This new collection of original essays from the bestselling author of “The Idiot Girls’ Action-Adventure Club,” “Autobiography of a Fat Bride,” and "We Thought You Would Be Prettier: True Tales of the Dorkiest Girl Alive" tells of life, work, family, friendship and love (or lack thereof).

I feel like I know Laurie, perhaps because there is a little bit of me in her stories...or perhaps it is that there is a little bit of my friends in her stories, whatever the case, she cracks me up.

Her first book was given to me as a gift. Reading it was like like witnessing a train wreck. You don't want to look but you can't turn away. Keep in mind when you read this book, that the chapter called "Swimming with the Fishes" is the story of my life. Don't ask! I'll admit it, I've had stuff happen to me that should not happen to anyone, ever...its proof that God has a sense of humor...or that he hates me...I haven't decided which.

Just check it our from the library and take a glance. It's humorous, not deep reading...just sit back and enjoy it. Atleast celebrate that you do not have days like Laurie has....that would not be good.
