text Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns), by Mindy Kaling

This book was everything I'd hoped it would be: funny, chiefly, but also warm, not what I'd call "inspirational" but definitely...reassuring? Comforting? Its content is eclectic, ranging from memoir-ish to lists and ruminations. I could hear her voice--I mean her actual, physical voice--as I read it...

I only recommend this book if your name is Mindy. I gave it 3 stars because I liked it better than Tina Fey's book, which I gave 2 stars, but maybe Mindys should really get 2.5. It wasn't THAT funny or THAT interesting and I didn't learn much more about her than how she portrays her character on the...

I am grateful to this book for being my relief reading while I was slogging through The People in the Trees, but a lot of it seemed really unnecessary, like her opinions on men's chest hair. Still, I like that she proudly talks about her parents solid marriage, and her mostly happy childhood. (I am...

This is the first book I read for the Bout of Books read-a-thon and unfortunately it was just meh as Tanya over at Mom's Small Victories put it. When I listed this book as one of my goals, Tanya commented on the post and I couldn't agree more. I think Mindy is funny but I wasn't laughing out loud at...
