In Old Age, Michael Kinsley writes with a great deal of humor about a subject that many people do not find very funny. It was a quick and enjoyable read and although I am not from the Boomer generation, it made me think a lot about illness, old age, and what the ultimate goals.in life should be.

I've read a lot of murder mysteries and this is one of the funniest ones I've ever read that was also still riveting and managed to surprise me. The constant breaks in the 4th wall were very well done.

Gary Soto, even when he is writing essays instead of poetry, has a wonderful way with words. This collection of essays containing various musings on his life is a joy to read. It had me laughing out loud in parts. Mostly though, it was just a very enjoyable read for someone who loves the written word. I would highly recommend it.

When I read the title and description of this book, I expected a comical take on what it means to be a man today. What I got was comical in parts, but was overall a more serious look on what being a man really is. Heimbuch speaks of his feelings freely and at times I even got choked up reading about his struggle to define his manhood when basing on the definitions of the men in his family. The book had a lot more heart than I was expecting, and that was nice surprise. I am recommending it to my husband and I would recommend it to any young husband/father who is a little unsure of his manhood.

Getting Over Mr. Right by Chrissie Manby is one of the funniest books I have read in a while. I found myself laughing out loud as the heroine Ashleigh went from one crazy scenario to the next even crazier one. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a light and funny read, and especially to anyone who has ever been through a rough break-up. Hilarious.

More Like Her, by Lisa Palmer grabbed me from the first sentence on the first page and didn't let me go until the very end. Even though a major plot point is revealed both on the back of the jacket in the description and in the Prologue, it still shocked me when it happened because of how well it was written. The story of what these friends go through before and after the event is at times gut-wrenching, and at times hilarious. Highly recommended.
