Did you read Tina Fey’s hilarious memoir, Bossypants, last year? Are you looking for more laughs from female comediennes to help you get through the upcoming hot desert summer? Good news!

Looking forward to reading a couple of these-especially “Seriously…I’m kidding”. The only one I’ve finished on the list is “Girl walks into a bar…” I heard about it on Elaine’s The Book Report radio show, and the appeal was there for me immediately. Rachel narrates her own book, which is always a treat when the author is the narrator too. I found the book not only to be entertaining from a comedy perspective, but touching too. If you’ve experienced the ups and downs of motherhood, you’ll no doubt share the same sentiments. If you want to take a closer look at this, perhaps check it out in the archived section for this month at bookreportradio(dot)com. You’ll see the line up was just before Mother’s Day.
Love it when comediennes narrate their own memoirs! We’ve heard that Jenny Lawson’s book is also a great listen!
