Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? by Mindy Kaling
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Mindy Kaling has lived many lives: the obedient child of immigrant professionals, a timid chubster afraid of her own bike, a Ben Affleck–impersonating Off-Broadway performer and playwright, and, finally, a comedy writer and actress prone to starting fights with her friends and coworkers with the sentence “Can I just say one last thing about this, and then I swear I’ll shut up about it?”
Perhaps you want to know what Mindy thinks makes a great best friend (someone who will fill your prescription in the middle of the night), or what makes a great guy (one who is aware of all elderly people in any room at any time and acts accordingly), or what is the perfect amount of fame (so famous you can never get convicted of murder in a court of law), or how to maintain a trim figure (you will not find that information in these pages). If so, you’ve come to the right book, mostly!
In Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, Mindy invites readers on a tour of her life and her unscientific observations on romance, friendship, and Hollywood, with several conveniently placed stopping points for you to run errands and make phone calls. Mindy Kaling really is just a Girl Next Door—not so much literally anywhere in the continental United States, but definitely if you live in India or Sri Lanka.
I don’t read books like this like ever but I love mindy as a person and her show the mindy project this book made me laugh I have so many lines highlighted they made me laugh I watch mindy’s show the mindy project and she is exactly as funny in written form I feel like I can relate to her being a curvy girl myself and being made fun of harsh right or when she hit her best friend in a production she was doing she gives you a great laugh I’d say if your going to read this read it with the audio book it’s so much better mindy is an awesome person she talks how she got to write for the tv show the office it’s one of those books you can read and say can I be best friends with her .
favorite quotes
“Teenage girls, please don’t worry about being super popular in high school, or being the best actress in high school, or the best athlete. Not only do people not care about any of that the second you graduate, but when you get older, if you reference your successes in high school too much, it actually makes you look kind of pitiful, like some babbling old Tennessee Williams character with nothing else going on in her current life. What I’ve noticed is that almost no one who was a big star in high school is also big star later in life. For us overlooked kids, it’s so wonderfully fair.”
There are many teenage vampire books you could have purchased instead. I’m grateful you made this choice.”
The Art of Letting Go by Anna Bloom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Summary When Lilah McCannon realises at the age of twenty-five that history is going to repeat itself and she is going to become her mother—bored, drunk and wearing a twinset—there is only one thing to do: take drastic action.
Turning her back on her old life, Lilah’s plan is to enrol at university, get a degree and prove she is a grown-up.
As plans go, it is a good one. There are rules to follow: no alcohol, no cigarettes, no boys and no going home. But when Lilah meets the lead singer of a local band and finds herself unexpectedly falling in love, she realises her rules are not going to be the only things hard to keep.
With the academic year slipping by too quickly, Lilah faces a barrage of new challenges: will she ever make it up the Library stairs without having a heart attack? Can she handle a day on campus without drinking vodka? Will she ever manage to read a history book without falling asleep? And most importantly, can she become the grown-up that she desperately wants to be.
With her head and her heart pulling her in different directions can Lilah learn the hardest lesson that her first year of university has to teach her: The Art of Letting Go

Grimm Fairy Tales Vol. 1 by Ralph Tedesco
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The Grimm fairy tale graphic novel was very interesting story wise but the art was very mature .red riding hood and you the know story but they all have a twist they all start with the main character and they end up finding this story book but red riding hood brining something to grandma she see’s this guy who she was apparently doing something that only married people do and then she see’s this other guy Chopping down a tree and he gives her this knife and ends seeing a wolf and she fallows the wolf back to her house she though is was the guy who gave her the knife but it was the other guy and she stabbed the other guy. The Cinderella story maybe my favorite it starts with this girl named Cindy and she is made fun by these girls she goes to this fairy tale lecture and then the story begins Cinderella has horrible step sisters and step mother and there is a ball and the step mother throws Cinderella into this cellar where Cinderella is surrounded by ghosts and she just wants it to stop so she sells her soul to a fairy godmother she wants to step mother and step sisters to pay for what they’ve done she goes to the ball and then she comes back the fair godmother tells her the prince is coming And what about the step sisters and mother well they are attacked and the prince and Cinderella live happy ever after. Hansel and gretel was an interesting story of a girl who runs away from her strict parents with her brother and they hitch a ride and they hear a very different story about hansel and gretel they run away and find this house and then Hasel is caged up and gretel has to do house work and as she tries to get the key she turns to this monster and well hansel ends up eaten the girl learns from they and goes home . Rumplstilsken is about a girl being pregnant and her boyfriend wants to get rid of it and she doesn’t know what to do a lady comes up to her to tell her a story when a girls father tells a king that his daughter can spin gold the girl doesn’t know what to do cause she can’t and he said he would have her killed a dwarf hears her cries and helps her but she has to give him her first born child she agrees the king ends up marring her and she has the baby boy rumplestilskin comes back and she doesn’t want to give it up so he tells her if she can guess his name she can keep her baby’s he searches high and low and finds it but on the boy’s thirteenth birthday he comes back looking different and curses the son so the girl learns children are important . Sleeping beauty this guy is told from this girl he likes to get some drugs from this guy this woman drops a story book and Brett reads it sleeping beauty is told about the curse and this servant likes her she is in a deep sleep but to be awaken the boy must truly love her or he will die so the servant goes to her and she wakes they are to be married but the princess is not into it and is with another guy and then this guy ends up dieing and the princess never is awoken again and Brett learns from that . The robber bridegroom two sisters fighting over a guy in the story is also about sisters but one sister is to get married and the other sister pushes her off the ledge and she ends up marring the prince and ends up being a meal . Legacy this one was my second favorite the story of the story book the girl finds it in this house when she is with her bother the book has power and it changes her town and finds this old guy who ends up being her brother wow .
All these stories were so cool but they were a little mature with the artwork alone all the girls breasts looked like balloons I don’t think I will be continuing with the rest of the novels
