Book Review: Belly Laughs by Jenny McCarthy



So, I knew going into this book that I was going to more than likely dislike it, but I gave it a chance. I do not like Jenny McCarthy (the whole vaccine thing...don't get me started on her). Anyway, I wanted to see if she could redeem herself with this book. Well...she didn't. The book was not funny or informative. She also made sure to take every opportunity to point out that she's a celebrity (sorry, but Z-list is not celebrity). The only interesting part of the entire book was her birth story in the last chapter even though she's an idiot (which at least she admits here) and went to the hair salon while beginning labor. I would not recommend this book to anyone. Don't even read it just for a "funny" take on pregnancy. There are so many better pregnancy books out there. And if you want a real funny take on pregnancy check out: Sippy Cups are not for Chardonnay by Stefanie Wilder-Taylor.

Summer Reading




Since this is my first summer off in a long time, I've been catching up on all the books I've wanted to read for a while. In the first picture, most of those books that I've finished have been worth the read. Two other books not pictured that I read this summer and loved are Burnt Shadows by Kamila Shamsie and A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Husseini. I've read a few books recently about Afganistan, Pakistan, and India and I absolutely love them. I didn't know much about those countries' histories, but I'm learning. The second picture contains the baby books I recently purchased. So far, Baby Bargins is great (I haven't read the others yet).
So, when I haven't been blogging or stalking on Facebook I've been reading.
