Book Review: What I read in OCTOBER - amyleighchandler on Review: An evening with Cassandra Clare – London 25.

The Century list includes brand-name novelists such as James Patterson, Karin Slaughter, Lisa Jewell and Katie Fforde, and we are also proud to be publishing compelling and powerful debut novels such as Wool by Hugh Howey and Until You? There were burst out laughing moments, eye rolling moments and heart breaking moments that spoke of loss that anyone who’s lost someone will know. I was initially encouraged by the opening of the book but it just turned a bit predictable and felt exaggerated and unbelievable. As someone who is entertained by ‘toilet’ humour, the use of poop and fart jokes was light-relief from the darker and emotive stories.Noh ja kui Penguin uuris, et äkki tahad ka raamatu kirjutada, siis võttis autor selle hea meelega vastu. Morris was named Content Creator of the Year at the Funny Women Awards, TikToker of the Year at the Blogosphere Awards, and featured in the Sunday Times Top Faces to Know 2022. Ich konnte mich in viele Situationen selbst hineinversetzen und der Wortwitz (habe es auf englisch gelesen) und der britische Humor haben mich oft zum Lachen gebracht.

It's not my kind of humour at all and when the author was trying to be funny I was just completely turned off. After that the novelty wears off and it's essentially a comedic autobiography that's more cringe than funny. Mulle mehena olid osad kohad eriti huvitavad teada saada, aga eks tegelikult olin näiteks "queef" tähenduse juba varem üles otsinud Hayley Morrise lühivideo tõttu.

Mulle jäi Hayley Morris millalgi Youtubes silma, tal on nimelt palju väga tabavaid elulisi lühivideosid.Kogu kõvakaanevaheline temaatika on vahel õudselt piinlik või siis väga meeldivalt elulik, oleneb vaatenurgast. Kuna autor on raamatu kirjutamise ajal minu vaatenurgast üsna noor (29), siis algul tekkis korraks tunne, et kas elu koosnebki pidudest ja pohmakatest.

Such as, if I let my child go into town on their own this weekend will someone hurt them, or take them? The stories that resonated the most with me was Hayley’s struggle with finding a career that makes her happy and as a graduate who is in the same position of not knowing what career they want – this was a relatable and comforting element of the book. Me vs Brain incorporates the humour and creativity of her videos into written form making for an easy-read.I can see why her content is popular in Instagram format, but as a book it was just too much and I wasn’t sold on it. Auch die tiefgründigeren Gedanken gefielen mir sehr gut und wirkten in dem sonst insgesamt humorvollen Buch überhaupt nicht fehl am Platz. So liest man hier verschiedene Situationen von ihrem Leben, aus unterschiedlichen Altersphasen und wie ihr Hirn ihr Dinge vermasselt, sie in absurde Situationen bringt und zum zerdenken von nahezu allem bewegt. Da ich selbst ja eine Sorgenmaus vor dem Herrn bin, hat mich der Klappentext aber sofort angesprochen und ich habe mich sehr gefreut, das Buch dieses Jahr unter dem Weihnachtsbaum zu finden.
