The Manic Bookadillos discussion

Hello Manic Fam!
We are very excited to be hosting the Bookadillos here on Goodreads. As this is the first month of the book club and we are talking about Gratitude, let us know who you are and what you think Furiously Happy might contribute to that theme.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hey everyone! I’m Tearsa Brown, from Lancaster, Pennsylvania..

I am really looking forward to this book. I’m thinking some good belly laughs with a fresh perspective on gratitude is what I’m hoping to get from Furiously Happy. I really can’t wait for the humor and to laugh out loud so my family can look at me oddly. At the same time, I think it’ll be nice to focus a bit on being thankful and what that provides me in my life (seeing it from Jenny Lawson’s perspective will hopefully give me insight to mine). Anyway, thank you Hanna!! I’m looking forward to seeing others’ ideas here!!

Hi y’all!
I’m Jenna from DeKalb, Illinois.

Gratitude is a big thing that I constantly struggle with. I try to tell at least one person a day that I am grateful for something they do, whether is be my partner or a coworker. I’m excited to read this book since I’ve had it in my possession for several years. It should give a great perspective on how to incorporate gratitude with our daily lives and hope make everyone smile.

I may not participate frequently, but I figured a book club would keep me motivated during the summer when I’m out of school.

Hi everyone,
My name is Julie and reading used to be one of my all time favourite things to do.
I haven’t read a book in a very long time and I am hoping this book and this group will catapult me back into reading!!

Hello. My name is Jolene. I’m from Las Vegas. I’m in a drought for intelligent conversation with grown ups. This book looks like it’s right up my alley in addressing serious topics with humor and sarcasm. I look forward to sharing space with all of you!

Hi everyone! Melissa Plante from Henniker (The Only one on Earth), NH reporting in. my wife's a librarian and brought me home the book so I'm looking forward to diving in. No idea what it's about so I'm not sure what to expect. Also not the biggest reader but I'll do my best! Never tried Goodreads and just added 77 books in our house I want to try to finally read. haha. Looking forward to chatting with you all!

Hi y'all, I'm Ky (24, they/them) from North Texas! (Could you tell by the "y'all??")

This is my first-ever book club! I'm a grad student and excited to return to reading for fun :)

Hey everyone, it's so nice to meet you! :) thanks for coming and reading with us! I can't wait to hear what you have to say about the book so far!!

Hi everyone! Seri from Kansas currently traveling for work in West VA. I’m so excited about this book club. I actually have this book on my shelf...at home. But will be back in less than a week! I’m excited because this cover makes me smile every time I look at it! Maybe that’s why I like our neighborhood raccoons so much.

Thanks everyone for introducing yourselves!
Looking forward to reading your responses and thoughts on the discussion threads!

Please feel free to comment and discuss outside of the set timetable, it is just to add structure to anyone who wants to read along at a given pace.

Now hop on over and lets get the discussion going!

Hey y’all, I’m Amber 33 from Houston, Texas. Sorry about the late introduction had a heck of a time trying to upload!

Hi everyone! I’m Christine and I’m a little late to the book club party but excited to start. I adore reading and hope to be an active part of this book club.

Hi Seri, Marisa, Amber, and Christine! I'm so excited to have you all here!
