Are you a fan of Jen Lancaster's series of memoirs? Have you laughed your way through her books including Bitter is the New Black and Pretty in Plaid?
Get ready for the latest in her memoir series "Jeneration X".
Review: Jeneration X - Jen Lancaster - May 2012
The last in her line of memoirs before the giant step towards the world of fiction writing, Jen Lancaster brings us her book "Jeneration X" . In all her previous books we have read and laughed , felt her pain through the crazy stunts and tales that Jen has encountered and now she has come to the conclusion that it's about time that she officially grew up and encountered the world known as "adultdom". As with Jen's previous books we know that alongside the title comes a tag line laced with sarcasm and a stab of humour at herself like her very first book "Bitter is the New Black " - Or Why you should never take a Prada bag to an Unemployment office. Jeneration X comes complete with a tagline reading "One Reluctant Adult's attempt to unarrest her Arrested Development ( a play on the TV Show) , or why it's never too late for her dumb ass to learn why Froot (Fruit) Loops are not for Dinner (tea). In Jeneration X , Jen goes through all her trials and triumphs as an adult from the gift of volunteering to her hate of Charity Tshirts and of course Parking Garages which came complete with this awesome quote which I shared on my Facebook Page
 " I never met a parking garage that didn't feel all CSI and like a sexual assault could happen any minute , but this? This was the rapiest rape garage that ever raped".
To her fun adventures of being stuck in a tornado like Dorothy from the HBO Wizard of Oz not the Judy Garland one and her trip to Banana Derby and being stuck with a family of Manson look-a-likes.
As always Jen's books prove to be a big laugh and I look forward to reading her two new fiction novels and her latest Non-fiction Memoir "The Tao of Martha' -taking a leaf out of Martha Stewart's book.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
