Book: I'd Rather Be Reading
Author: Anne Bogel Publisher: Baker Books Rating: ***** I loved every word in this book from the Dedication on. I felt like Anne was speaking directly to me and every reader out there. I am that reader that used to hide a flashlight and use it to read with when I was supposed to be sleeping. Anne really made me feel like I was talking to a friend the whole time I was reading her book. I added several of the books she mentioned to my TBR and I can't wait to read them to see if I feel the same way she does about them I received this book and finished it in one sitting. Just a delightful book every reader should pick up and read. I will be giving it as a gift to all of my favorite readers! I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Book: Dear Fahrenheit 451 Author: Annie Spence Publisher: Flatiron Books Rating: **** I picked this book up because I just read a book in the similar style and loved it. This book did not disappoint. I found myself laughing out loud at some of her letters. I also found myself googling some of the books she wrote about and adding them to my TBR. By the end of the book I felt like I had laughed with a friend over books. I found myself giggling over several breakup letters. Like why didn't the child bring Twilight to college? Who decided it was a good idea to stock a book on pleasure for one at the library? Pick up this book if you love books. Pick up this book if you want to think your local librarian is as witty as Annie. Pick up this book if you want to laugh and feel like you just finished a great day with a girlfriend. Do you like books about books? Do you have any books about books that you would recommend?

Book: Hey Ladies!
Author: Michelle Markowitz and Caroline Moss Publisher: Abrams Image Stars: ** .25 I wish we could give 1/2 or quarter stars. I just wasn't a fan of this book. someone else further down the line compared this to the Girls of fiction and I whole heartedly agree. You have to know that I am not a fan of Girls (I tried to like it I promise!). So this is going to be another unpopular review from me. I know this book is supposed to be a satire but I just couldn't get into it. I finished the book because I waited so long to get it from the library. I skimmed a lot of the book because I just couldn't find anything I liked about most of the girls. I did find a few parts funny and I could relate to a little bit of Morgan's situation because I have definitely been there. But man the rest of them were just a little too extra for me. Yes, I know that is what the authors were going for. This book gets 2.25 stars because it was funny in parts and a fast read. Have you read Hey Ladies!? If so what is your opinion? Also if you haven't read the book have you ever been on a Hey Ladies text chain that will never end!? I am way behind on my reading for August but I hope to finish each of these lovelies before the End of the Month plus all the NetGalley reads on my iPad!
