Uganda Be Kidding Me by Chelsea Handler

    Happy Easter to those celebrating today! I just finished Uganda Be Kidding Me by Chelsea Handler and I loved this book! I have read just about all of her books, I believe, but this one is my favorite. She is hilarious and a really great writer. Plus whoever titled the book deserves a bonus for it because it's clever and perfect for the book. Most of her books she is talking about some pretty sexual things but this one seemed a little more low key. I remember one time I was reading her book on my Kindle on a plane ride home with my dad. The page I was reading was talking about her giving her first blow job and of course that would be the time that my dad looks over and asks what I'm reading. I tried to get out the book as fast as I could to avoid awkwardness but then it was just on the home screen and I just tried to play it off like I was looking for something. Close call for sure but either way it was an awkward moment.

    This book talked about her trip to Africa to go on a safari as well as other trips and some incidents at home. She kept me interested the whole time and it even included some pretty great photos. I wish I could take a vacation with her it would be an awesome and probably alcohol filled time. I watched her on the Ellen DeGeneres Show the other day when she was talking about her book and life, she was just so blunt I love it. She is most certainly not afraid to say the first thing she thinks of. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for an entertaining read. It's a good one.

Citizen Girl by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus

    I was at Barnes and Noble trying to find a good book to read and I picked up a couple options but ended up going with Citizen Girl by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus. The back of the book doesn't really say what it's about but I loved The Nanny Diaries which is by the same authors so when I got home I went online and looked at the reviews which were terrible. People said it was "trashy" "confusing" and "terrible." Reading the reviews made me want to read it more because I wanted to know what people were talking about. I have to say I do agree with a bunch of the negative comments. I didn't love this book but I also didn't hate it. The idea of the story they were trying to tell was perfect and really relatable being a recent college graduate just joining the workforce. However maybe the way they did it wasn't quite right. Another thing is the book was a bit dirty and awkward. I would probably not recommend this book but I do like the idea behind the book.

   The main idea of the book is about a girl named Girl who is a college graduate who is trying to find her place in the workforce where she doesn't have to do things against her morals but also make money in order to have food, pay student loans and have a home. Plus throw in some relationship problems and that describes more than half the 24 year olds I know.

The Daughters Break the Rules by Joanna Philbin

    This is the second book in The Daughters series by Joanna Philbin. The first book was more about Lizzie Summers but the second one was concentrated on Carina Jurgensen and her story. Carina anonymously leaks to the press that her Dad is stealing money and her Dad find out it was her and therefore punishes her partly by cutting her off. She no longer has access to credit cards or anything but a very small allowance. Carina wants money so she lies to get the job of party planner for the big Silver Snowflake Ball at her school but things get complicated when the party committee wants her to get favors from her Dad's list of connections. Carina has to either tell them she can't do it or find a way to get everything done for free.

    The crazy ride Carina's life takes you on is both complicated and surprised filled. When I started to read this one I wasn't such a big fan of Carina because I thought she was just a spoiled brat but since she gets cut off she has to come down to reality and has a rough time but she becomes more likeable and by the end I was rooting for her. I liked this one better than the first one and interested in what the third one will hold which will obviously be about Hudson Jones.
