BYL Reading Challenge discussion

So many celebrities write books!

Some recommendations:

My Brave Year of Firsts - Jamie Lee Curtis (children)
Nightmares! - Jason Segel (middle grade)
The Magic Misfits - Neil Patrick Harris (middle grade)
An Absolutely Remarkable Thing - Hank Green (teen/adult)
Yes Please! - Amy Poehler (adult)

My turn came up at the library for Full Disclosure by Stormy Daniels at the beginning of the year so I'm using this as my book by someone famous. I had followed the news fairly closely so most of the new content to me was about her family and I am amazed at what she has done to protect her family throughout the media storm.

I just finished Born a Crime by Trevor Noah (comedian) and it was excellent. It gave a good look at what life was like, not so long ago, in South Africa. It was touching and funny (at times). This also checks off my #ownvoices for Africa category.

I’ve been eyeballing Chasing Shadows by Tom Delong (previously) of Blink 182.

I also have Bird Box and Inspection by Josh Malerman since he is also a musician turned writer.

For the kiddos probably The Book with No Pictures could be fun!

I just got through listening to, "The pleasure of my company" by Steve Martin. It was one of those, I'm not sure what this book is about, but it is a short audiobook I can listen to on a car ride. I was pleasantly surprised!! It is read by Steve, which I feel lends that little something special. It is hilarious, despite the fact that the protagonist struggles with almost crippling OCD. I highly recommend this book :-D

OH! I love Tom Delong! Didn't even know this existed.

I’m listening to the audio version of Yes, Please by Amy Poehler.
