For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-CycleOverall, this was a funny book. It's not ground-breaking, it's not inspirational or enlightening, but it's good for a chuckle or two.I found a copy of this in the Little Free Lending Library by my house, was intrigued by the cover (and of course the in...
I'm just going to say it: I've been a huge fan of Celia Rivenbark since I picked up Bless Your Heart, Tramp: And Other Southern Endearments in a Palm Springs gift shop for a January poolside read (you can do that in January at Palm Springs). So, every time I run across a new-to-me title, I pick it u...
Rude Bitches Make Me Tired: Slightly Profane and Entirely Logical Answers to Modern Etiquette Dilemmas was my introduction to Celia Rivenbark's work. This modern etiquette guide was both hilarious and relatable, with a few tips for anyone in addition to a lot of laughs. I read this book while I was ...
"It's just that when you witness such acute douchery up close and personal, it shakes you to the core." ~ pg. 65In true Celia Rivenbark fashion, this is not your regular etiquette book. The author makes it clear in the Foreword that this book does not cover traditional etiquette tips like using the ...
I've been a Celia Rivenbark fan ever since I read Bless Your Heart, Tramp: And Other Southern Endearments some six years ago now.

There is something for everyone in this book as Celia hits upon many topics in this book from the TSA to marriage to the Snuggie. I found myself reading outloud to my husband in bed and the both of us laughing and totally relating to what she had to say. Just when I think I have my favorite topic ...
I love Celia Rivenbark's writing even though I don't live in the South, it is fun to travel there through her books. She covers such topics as Twitter and her take on menopause is worth the price of the book alone. My favorite term of hers is for her husband, who she lovingly calls "duh-hubby" -- ...
First, just take a look at the book cover. The lady is chilling on a floating device in all her ample proportioned glory. That is all.In her latest collection of essays, Celia Rivenbark tells it like it is, with her trademark funny southern snark. I've read a couple of her other works (Stop Dressing...
This is the fourth of Celia Rivenbark's books that I have read; suffice it to say that I'm a fan.Rivenbark takes no prisoners with her witty essays on topics ranging from Twitter to elementary school science fairs and the cultures associated with them. She pokes fun at Southern culture, sexual addi...
