About "JennyLawson"

  1. JennyLawson

    Known for her sardonic wit and her hysterically skewed outlook on life, Jenny Lawson has made millions of people question their own sanity, as they found themselves admitting that they, too, often wondered why Jesus wasn t classified as a zombie, or laughed to the point of bladder failure when she accidentally forgot that she mailed herself a cobra Her blog thebloggess is award winning and extremely popular.

  1. Earlier this year, I was one of the lucky people Jenny sent an Advance Reading Copy of her newest book to.The simple upshot I loved it I loved it even than her first book, which I enjoyed so much that I bought multiple copies to give away as Christmas presents The bad news is that my life is such a bloody shambles that I didn t get back to her in time for a gushy blurb to make it onto the back of her book Not that she particularly needed one from me She s got Gaiman, Allie Brosh, and all manner [...]

  2. my love for jenny lawson is NOT AT ALL creepyjenny lawson, i wanna make you blts and braid your hair i am really shitty at braiding, and my fingers will be covered in mayonnaise after making you all those blts, so it will probably get a little messy and crazy, but it s the thought that counts and since your book is basically a manifesto of owning one s messy and crazy bits and alchemizing them into comedy gold, we should be all setis book is a little personal that Let s Pretend This Never Happe [...]

  3. Upfront I m not very objective about this book because Jenny is someone I consider a friend although we ve only met once I think and I m a huge fan of her blog, AND she blurbed my book But I wouldn t have asked her to blurb if I didn t love her stuff, ergo it doesn t feel weird to say I loved this book So take that how you will.This review is based on an ARC too, BTW Basically her original book is one of my faves I read it before I d met her or even read much of her blog, for the record and thes [...]

  4. Jenny talking about her mental illness was really impactful and well done, but the rest of this book didn t really work for me It felt like she was trying too hard to be funny by throwing together random words to make the most strange sentences possible This might just be how she always talks writes, but I have never experienced her in any way so I wasn t prepared for that I ll definitely give her first book a read listen, and I sincerely hope it doesn t include the word awesomeness as much as t [...]

  5. Audiobook 30 day trial with audible I had no intentions of reading this book I didn t request it from Netgalley as an early read , but then I read several positive reviews one said its a must read for everyone Plus, friends told me memoirs by the author themselves, are good audiobook choices So what the heck free trial read The very beginning was great out walking , I was ready to enjoy some laughs,wisdom, and inspirationBUT SOON.I became exhausted, or bored with exaggerated stories Jenny s high [...]

  6. I m having one of those rare days where I love people and all of the amazing wonder they re capable of and if someone fucks that up for me I will stab them right in the face Jenny LawsonI AM GOING TO BE FURIOUSLY HAPPY, OUT OF SHEER SPITE Jenny LawsonI ve shamelessly let Rocket Raccoon carry this review space since last year, and he garnered me 54 likes, so thanks Rocket I m sure he would approve of my blatant exploitation even though he s the one being exploited But enough is enough And really, [...]

  7. The manically happy raccoon amongst scattered glitter on the cover is the best part of this book I find very little humor in mental illness, even when it s offered up by someone who doesn t seem to mind using her chronic depression and crippling anxiety as a vehicle to what she says are ridiculous stories I agree with her word ridiculous I guess it s good she can enjoy her mental illness, I m quite sure most others would not find this possibility very doable Is it wrong to feel this book might b [...]

  8. I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.Jenny Lawson is a women I have never heard of, but by the end of the book I realized that she is famous because people loved her writing Her writing is extremely honest, funny and can be very inappropriate Jenny kept talking about dead animals, and from reading about her first book I realized that she was a daughter of a taxidermist and that was why There were moments in this book that I wish I had read her first book first because [...]

  9. This book is furiously awesome And I believe I m mildly shrieking right now because IT WAS JUST WHAT I NEEDED TO READ It s about anxiety and depression, written in a really random and crazy and hyperbolic way and it was perfect It was a very ME book Usually books about anxiety yes, I raise my hand as an anxietier that is a word trigger me offbut this actually calmed me in a way Because the author is so wonderfully messed up and yet still managing to be fabulous that it gave me a lot of hope.This [...]

  13. MY BLOG Melissa Martin s Reading ListI thought this book was I have to say I laughed a lot at her humor, I found that I say some of the things that she says I feel for her that she has all of these disorders because I have most of the same disorders that she has but I have a few , and not everyone feels the same when they have these disorders, they have different phobias But it s all scary and a suckfest And unfortunately, most people just think your having them on or you should just get over it [...]

  14. DNFI was so FURIOUSLY annoyed with this book If someone is interested in a free copy, you can have mine I got to Chapter 19 and said hell with it Ramble, ramble, ramble Maybe I was expecting too much, like her talking about her illness instead of shower curtains and her taxidermy animals or how she has every mental illness out there Everytime I thought there would be a serious discussion she went off and ranted about fainting at the site of white coats or germs or the airport She talked about no [...]

  15. There will be moments when you have to act like a grown up Those moments are tricks Do not fall for them I won t say too much about Furiously Happy, because I really think the element of surprise is one of the best things about the book Most of the stories in this book are downright bizarre, and on than one occasion I thought to myself, There is no way that actually happened , and then BOOM, the author provides photographic evidence, and blew my mind once again my friend Laura asked if I d come [...]

  16. This book was really enjoyable I started it as a physical book and thought it was great, and I finished it with the audiobook and liked that as well Some of these stories were SO powerful and well written, and I was underlining them like crazy It s such a candid and unfiltered book about the experience of mental illness, and I could relate so much to parts of this However, in the middle of the book, Jenny starts getting really off topic and just begins telling random funny stories Don t get me w [...]

  17. Hilarious and heartfelt More serious than her first book, but still incredibly genuine and never lacking her sardonic wit If you are looking for a touching and uproariously funny memoir about what it means to be a human, you ve found it in this book.

  18. When my husband found out this book was coming out he says Is that by the same person who wrote that book you sat on the couch laughing while reading Yes, yes it is Ugh Much to his pleasure, this book had the same effect He s the Victor of my world but I suspect if a third book rolls around he ll make me vacate the room and read it elsewhere I truly have never laughed so much while reading as I have while reading both of her books Jenny is a magical unicorn of a human and I strongly encourage yo [...]

  19. Jenny Lawson may not appeal to all readers, but I love her stuff Her books are like open diaries and sometimes you just have to look away, but I always find myself looking back I loved her first book and this one was even better In addition to being, in my opinion, uproariously funny, Jenny is a poster child for the millions who suffer silently from mental illness and the social stigma that goes along with that She has than embraced her condition, she s transcended it into a weird alternate rea [...]

  20. So good Listened to the audiobook, which was narrated by Jenny herself.Jenny talks candidly and hilariously about her life and mental illnesses I have anxiety, and although my experiences and disorders aren t the same as Jenny s I found myself relating to the fears and emotion behind nearly all of the situations she described Her stories are outrageous and sometimes awful, but she always makes sure you know YOU AREN T ALONE I feel like I could listen to this audiobook forever and still get somet [...]

  23. I adore Jenny Lawson and her wit and humanity and bravery and just sheer weirdness This was one of the first memoirs I read when I decided to read non fiction which by the way, brilliant decision on my end and when I needed something fun and quick to read on my flight from hell back from holiday I just have the worst luck when it comes to flying, but this time really took the cake this seemed like the obvious pick And I am so glad to have decided to re read this Jenny Lawson is an absolute hero [...]

  24. I HATE THIS BOOK SO MUCH I ve never seen someone try so hard and fail so fantastically at being funny And I think it was made worse by my listening to the audio version She s got that dumb valley girl accent that makes it sound like every sentence is a question And words ending in d somehow all sounded like they ended in t It made my skin crawl I couldn t handle it But apparently 95% of the people that read it think it s sent from above, so don t take my word for it, I guess.

  25. Hilarious and meaningful at the same time Jenny Lawson doesn t shy away from sharing her every thought, no matter how random Even though she rambles through the whole book, I enjoyed it because that s how my brain talks to me too, especially when I m emotional rambling, off topic hypotheticals and non sequiturs.Jenny Lawson writes extensively about her mental illness, and offers advice for those struggling alongside her Since I ve never had any mental issues, I fear some of her advice and comfor [...]

  26. See this and the rest of the crap I write at my blogBark s Book Nonsense I liked this book It made me laugh Not all rolling on the floor and laughing my effing bum off but it made me laugh on the inside I knew it And that is all that counts.This Jenny person has a skewed sense of humor that I love and adored She is weird and she embraces it She s also mentally ill with a laundry list of disorders She suffers from depression and crushing anxiety and a host of other disorders but she still manages [...]

  27. Anyone who suffers from mental illness or loves someone who suffers should read this It s like Jenny lives inside my head her descriptions of anxiety and depression are so spot on I was practically cheering out loud I read this while traveling home from BEA, and I was laughing so hard six different people interrupted to say, Ok, I have to know what you re reading At one point I actually had to put it down for 5 minutes because I was legitimately afraid I was going to pee myself in the middle of [...]

  28. 4 Stars So I may end up changing this rating based on how I feel a little bit removed from the book, but if it s been than a month since being edited, it s just going to stay here I didn t know exactly what to expect going into this because making depression and the plethora of other interestingly named conditions that Jenny experiences don t seem to mix well with humor in my brain I was wrong It was extremely well done with a lot of heart and a very peculiar, if not amazing, sense of humor and [...]

  30. Last time Jenny Lawson wrote a book I had no idea who she was and I stumbled into her hilariously weird world by accident This time around I knew exactly who she was and exactly how fabulously darkly wonderful this would be It was one of only two books I wanted at BEA, and for the first time ever I went home with both.So the point is I really love Jenny Lawson She s bizarre and fun and motherfucking hilarious lolz, tears, choking, public snorting, all of it Here is a taste of how things go in he [...]
