Florida book reviews...

We just spent a lot of time in the car. A lot. This meant that between not feeling well and having been married for almost a decade, we needed something to do besides speak to each other. HA! :) We decided to listen to a couple of audiobooks courteously provided via free download from my local library (I love technology). We picked the books mainly based on which one was available for download that instant. 

Jackson's favorite book of the trip
Chelsea Handler was seriously funny and we laughed our butts off. There were some uncomfortable part of the books (she's really obsessed with little people), but overall this is a good read and I'd recommend it. Jackson thought it was just hilarious and deemed it great- that's a huge deal coming from a non-reader!
Was the author in prison or were we?!
We've all heard about this NetFlix series OITNB so we thought the book might be good, too. We were so wrong. We slugged our way through this novel with the hopes that eventually it would improve. It did not. I have no idea how someone read this and turned it into a successful television show, but bravo to them for making something from nothing. We could not have been happier when this book finally ended. Don't bother with this one. Zzzzz...
My favorite of the trip
Confession: I have been on a little comedy streak recently reading Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and Mindy Kaling's first book all in recent months. I was excited to see that Mindy had a new book out already even though her first book was my least favorite of this genre. This book was far better than her first and it made me laugh so hard quite a few times. It was more of a chick book than I had anticipated but Jackson still really enjoyed it. This one is certainly worth a read!
