Moranthology

Brilliant. I picked this book up on an accidental whim. I had extra time in town before work and ran into our local used bookstore to find something to read as I forgot my book at home. I happened upon this and since How To Be A Woman has been on my TBR list for ages, I decided to go ahead and take this home with me. I read it all in a couple of days, between jobs. Caitlin Moran is hilarious, intelligent, and relatable. This collection of essays is just personal enough to have not only made me laugh and cry, but made me feel like I know her. If I lived in the UK, I would buy newspapers just to read her column. Her interview with Lady Gaga is one of the best I've ever read, and when I read her review of Sherlock, I felt like I was hearing Moriarty say, “I will burn the heart out of you” again for the first time. I got chills.

I laughed, I cried, and I'm so looking forward to picking up her other work in the future.
