My friend Elizabeth introduced me to this series of books. I didn't quite know what to expect. I must preface this story with....I am not a big reader. (A big joke between Eric and I is that when we first started dating, he gave me a book to read...it took me 5 months. In my defense - it was about 800 pages. Eric reads about a book a day and constantly has 5 books in progress).
Anywho, I opened the first in the seried, Bitter is the New Black by the fabulous author Jen Lancaster, and finished it in 4 days. I have never laughed so hard reading a book. In case you can't read the rest of the title, "Confessions of a condescending, egotistical, self-centered smartass, or, why you should never carry a Prada bag to the unemployment office." I think the title says it all.
I have now loaned out this book to my friend Robin, and she loves it too! I am almost done with the second book in the series, Bright Lights, Big Ass: A self-indulgent, surly, ex-sorority girl's guide to why it often sucks in the city, or Who are these idiots and why do they all live next door to me? Seriously - this one is even funnier!
Can I tell you the best part? Since it's a memoir, and the author is a big fan of blogging, I can follow her daily blog and laugh constantly! Okay, don't think I'm a stalker. Just very very entertained.
