It took me less than a week to read Bossypants by Tina Fey. It's not a long book, but it is so worth the read. I always liked Tina Fey on Saturday Night Live, but once I fell in love with 30 Rock, I gained a new respect for her. She's hilarious! I think I love her because she has the same sarcastic and sometimes down-right nerdy humor that I also possess. I mean look at this cover...
On the back she quotes her dad saying "I hope that's not really the cover. That's going to really hurt sales."
The second book I read this past week is one I've been holding off on because [I'm cheap] it's a best-seller and therefore more expensive to get on my nook. The Help by Kathryn Stockett is absolutely now one of my favorite books.
I don't know why, but anything that has to do with the South and civil rights just gets me everytime. Naturally, I consider myself a southern girl...my Papa was from Alabama so occasionally that thick accent comes out. The Help takes place in Jackson Mississippi and tells the story from the perspective of Skeeter, Minny, and Aibileen. It's one of those heartfelt, sometimes sad, sometimes hilarious kind of stories that I am always a sucker for. Just last night I found out [while watching the previews at the movie theater] that there is going to be a movie made based on the book. I just about wet my pants with excitement. I seriously can not wait for it!
