Book Review: bossypants Tina fey

BossypantsBossypants by Tina Fey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Read from April 15-16
Summary

Before Liz Lemon, before “Weekend Update,” before “Sarah Palin,” Tina Fey was just a young girl with a dream: a recurring stress dream that she was being chased through a local airport by her middle-school gym teacher. She also had a dream that one day she would be a comedian on TV.

She has seen both these dreams come true.

At last, Tina Fey’s story can be told. From her youthful days as a vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live; from her passionately halfhearted pursuit of physical beauty to her life as a mother eating things off the floor; from her one-sided college romance to her nearly fatal honeymoon — from the beginning of this paragraph to this final sentence.

Tina Fey reveals all, and proves what we’ve all suspected: you’re no one until someone calls you bossy.

(Includes Special, Never-Before-Solicited Opinions on Breastfeeding, Princesses, Photoshop, the Electoral Process, and Italian Rum Cake!)

Review – What I thought of this book was it was funny I read it with the audiobook and I was laughing crazy I just started watching 30 rock and I wanted to read this and I loved it it was funny and witty and I loved it go read it and Tina fey is awesome .

Fav quote“Right up until camera time, I was sweaty and green from having to touch my own eyeballs like that. If you’ve never had to do it, I’d say it’s not as quease-making as when you lose your first tampon string, but equally as queasish to a self-breast exam. If you are male, I would liken it to touching your own eyeball, and thank you for buying this book.”

Favorite quotes

Are you really going to make me admit that I have absolutely no life here ? I say page 31

Well your eighteen now . You’ve had enough of my dating advice for a lifetime , she says but I’ll provide you with a quick recap just in case . Don’t order anything with onion or garlic , never leave your drink unattended , and always use protection . Page 34
Ugh mom ! I roll my eyes you know I know rules and you know I don’t have to worry about the last one . Please don’t give will a recap of your rules . Promise ? I make her promise . Page 34
So tell me about will. Does he work ? Is he in college ? Is he a serial killer ? She says this with such sincerity . Page 34

“Does he treat you with respect at all times? That’s the first question. The second question is, if he is the exact same person twenty years from now that he is today, would you still want to marry him? And finally, does he inspire to be a better person? You find someone you can answer yes to all three, then you’ve found a good man

Book Review: Eleanor & park Rainbow Rowell

Eleanor & Park

Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Read from February 17- 26

Summary -Set over the course of one school year in 1986, ELEANOR AND PARK is the story of two star-crossed misfits – smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try. When Eleanor meets Park, you’ll remember your own first love – and just how hard it pulled you under.

Review – I had read fangirl last year and loved and I picked up Eleanor & park and fell in love with this romance but it didn’t start as a romance Eleanor is a big redhead and a little bit weird and wear’s men’s clothes but Eleanor has a tough life her stepdad kicked her out and she’s back a year later and she’s starting at a new school . Park the only Korean in omaha when he meets Eleanor he thinks she’s weird but lets her sit next to him there both misfits there different from everyone else I loved this book but I didn’t like Park at first I thought he was very judgmental to Eleanor I don’t like people who judge just cause of weight and looks but then things happen and I loved them Eleanor starts reading his comics over his shoulder I squeaked out of happiness and then he makes her mix tapes that’s adorable I thought this books was going to be adorable cause I did read fangirl and thought it was going to be this cute adorable romance I was so wrong I loved the mix point of view . they start talking about music and comics and I thought that was so sweet but Eleanor has problems he lives with his terrible step dad and siblings but there family’s are totally different park’s family his mom is a beautian everything changes between them they start dating and I loved there romance I loved that Park loved her even if she was curvy and had big red hair and I know how that feels I’m curvy I have big curly hair I loved when they had the first kiss and then allot of dates and I loved that Park’s mom is like I don’t like Eleanor and then as time goes on she sees allot things she relates to I loved that I loved the makeover scene I thought it was funny . I need a park in my life cause he’s adorable I love that he gets insecure to he tells eleanor there are no hot Asian guys I thought it was nice to see he didn’t see himself as hot and they had things in common in the end this is where shit gets real she comes home from a date with Park and she sees all the things with park everywhere and this message now through this book I thought the messages on the book was from Tina but no it was from her stepdad so she gets out and she’s running and there’s Tina saying like hey what’s wrong so she helps her and and her Tina and steve go to park and Eleanor says she has to leave so he takes her and they say there goodbyes and it was heartbreaking I loved this book so much I didn’t want it to end read it .

Quotes I love -She’d have to get up to let him have his spot by the window . Which would be akward . It was all akward . Every time the bus hit a pothole , Eleanor practically fell in the guy’s lap . Page 24
Eleanor was right : she looked like art , and art wasn’t supposed to look nice ; it was suppose to make you feel something . Page 165

Book Review: allegiant veronica Roth

Allegiant (Divergent, #3)Allegiant by Veronica Roth
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Read from December 20 – February 20

Summary – The faction-based society that Tris Prior once believed in is shattered—fractured by violence and power struggles and scarred by loss and betrayal. So when offered a chance to explore the world past the limits she’s known, Tris is ready. Perhaps beyond the fence, she and Tobias will find a simple new life together, free from complicated lies, tangled loyalties, and painful memories.

But Tris’s new reality is even more alarming than the one she left behind. Old discoveries are quickly rendered meaningless. Explosive new truths change the hearts of those she loves. And once again, Tris must battle to comprehend the complexities of human nature—and of herself—while facing impossible choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice, and love.

Review – The last book in the divergent series is told in tris and Tobias point of view I loved that it was in both point of view it was interesting to see the what was in both there heads so after insurgent we learned that they wiped people’s minds and there memories now Tobias mom is taking over they know they have to get out so they get out of the city and go to the buro where tris’s mom came from and we learn her mom went into dauntless when she was sixteen to learn Tobias also learns something about himself he’s not divergent there are two typeGD and GP genetically damaged and genetically pure and Tobias is GD and he thinks he’s broken and tris keeps telling him that he doesn’t need to lose to the the test that she loves him . Tris reads her mom journal when she was in the buro it was interesting I really loved this book it might be my favorite I know it’s sad but I loved it Tobias works with this girl Nita he thinks that she wants the truth serum but she really wants the death serum and Uriah gets hurt he may never wake up at this point I was already sobbing I love Uriah Tobias was arrested and tris is angry with him but eventually forgives him more happens in this book lots of work and this beautiful scene with Tobias and tris I loved that scene cause veronica Roth didn’t focus on the sex part more the emotion part and I loved it . David wants to do another reset and tris has an idea to reset them but she has to get to the weapons area well Caleb was sapose to do it , it went down very bad And I was sobbing I loved this book if you haven’t read this series do so it’s an amazing series I loved it .

Favorite quotes –

I sigh . it’s  not a perfect situation  but when you have to choose between two bad options , you pick the one that saves people you love and believe in most you just do okay ? Page 388

And  I know   ,  without  being  told   ,  that’s  what love does  ,   when  it’s  right  – it  makes  you more  than  you were  ,  more than  you  thought  you  could  be .  page  414

Where have you been lately ? Christina says she wiggles her eyebrows . With four ? Doing a little … Addition ? Multiplication ? I cover my face with my hands . That was the worst joke I’ve ever heard. Page 255

Book Review: shadow kiss Richelle mead

Shadow Kiss: The Graphic Novel (Vampire Academy: The Graphic Novel, #3)Shadow Kiss: The Graphic Novel by Richelle Mead
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Summary – What if following her heart means Rose could lose her best friend forever?

Rose Hathaway knows it is forbidden to love another guardian. Her best friend, Lissa – the last Dragomir princess – must always come first. Unfortunately, when it comes to gorgeous Dimitri Belikov, some rules are meant to be broken…

But since making her first Strigoi kills, Rose hasn’t been feeling right. Something dark has begun to grow in her mind, and ghostly shadows warn of a terrible evil drawing nearer to the Academy’s iron gates. And now that Lissa and Rose’s sworn enemy, Victor Dashkov, is on trial for his freedom, tensions in the Moroi world are higher than ever.

Lying to Lissa about Dimitri is one thing, but suddenly there’s way more than friendship at stake. The immortal undead are on the prowl, and they want vengeance for the lives that Rose has stolen. In a heart-stopping battle to rival her worst nightmares, Rose will have to choose between life, love, and the two people who matter most… but will her choice mean that only one can survive?

Review – the graphic novel of shadow kiss was my favorite cause it’s my favorite of the series it was still sad in the part and I love seeing the cabin scene it was a great graphic novel I loved it .

favorite quote – The words on the page are nothing but ink. Lines and curves and dots oranized in a most peculiar fashion . it’s not until you read them that they become something more . it is you who gives them life the characters of the book are only alive when a reader makes them so.

That was my goth stage where I decided I’d never get the girl of my dreams  because of my scars. Not to mention the hairstyle . But then she slammed a door handle into my gut. And when a girl does that to a boy, it means she likes him.
