(This review can be found on my blog <a href="http://themisadventuresofatwentysomething.blogspot.com/">The (Mis)Adventures of a Twenty-Something Year Old Girl</a> at the beginning of December).
When I was asked if I would review this book, I said yes without even thinking about. This book has been on my to be read shelf for awhile, and while it wasn't laugh out loud funny all the time, it was still laugh worthy.
The cover shows that this is going to be a humorous book with funny illustrations. I, personally, like the cover, and it drew me in.
There is one sign that you're a Facebook addict on each page as well as a full page illustration on the other to go with the sign. Some of these are funny while others are mildly amusing. Some signs used in the book include "you've already created a page for your unborn child," your partner angrily claims they've become a Facebook widow," and "you've had a face-off with Facebook." There's also suggestions to detox from Facebook such as "get sent to jail," "join Google+ instead," and "fall in love."
I enjoyed the illustrations the most if I'm honest. Gemini Adams, not only wrote the book, but also illustrated it. While most of them are cutesy, there area few which are kinda crude. Mostly, they only show women's breasts. There's no illustrations of crotches so worry not.
I believe this book would be a perfect stocking stuffer or gag gift for someone who is on Facebook a lot. I'm thinking of getting this book for my dad who is obsessed with how many friends he has and how many likes he gets.
(I received a free paperback copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for a fair and honest review).

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2173 KP) rated Stork Raving Mad (Meg Langslow, #12) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Meg is eight and a half months pregnant with twins, but that doesn't stop her from investigating when a member of Michael's tenure committee is killed in their overcrowded house. This book wasn't as funny as some of the earlier books in the series, but it was still amusing. And the mystery was great as always.

Mar 9, 2018
Jaine is sure her ship has come in when her friend gets her a job writing a spec script for a sitcom. However, when the star is killed, Jaine finds her dream job turned into a nightmare. The book is very funny and the mystery is great. Plus it introduces the sub-plot involving Jaine's parents.

So this was the first self help book I've read and honestly it was amazing! It wasn't the typical wishy washy stuff i think people expect from these genres it was funny very inspiring and in some areas brutally honest! She explains many areas in such a way that it is relatable to everyone without it being to vague which i also like! Would definitely recommend this book especially if your getting into the whole self help idea.

This laugh out loud funny collection of essays from YouTuber Shane Dawson is incredible. I'm a huge, yet new, fan and the second I found out he had a book I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. Reading this felt like listening to a friend tell you stories. With his out there sense of humor you get just a small glimpse into his personal life and I was so grateful and entertained. Amazing book!

I have no idea if I've finished Book One of this mad-cap webcomic. It's different individual comics that have been put together in this book. A lot of them carry on from previous pages but are mixed in here and there to break them up. It's proper crazy at times, funny at others, and admittedly I didn't get some of them.
I'm sure I'll keep reading it at some point but my rating wont change.

A great coming of age story. Both serious and funny. The book is broken into two parts the first is about her upbringing and the difficulties of being seen as less than... The part two picks up in the same time that chapter one does and goes from there.
Although you're supposed to read this second as it is a prequel (to the Blue Sword) it is a good stand alone/read first book. I highly recommend.
