A few years ago I tried but couldn’t finish this. Just listened to it the whole way through to confirm it’s a rare Sedaris dud. #25wordbookreviews (link)

Sorry I’m Late, I Didn’t Want to Come by Jessica Pan
This very relatable author commits to overcoming her introversion over a year’s time. It’s basically my life — except I’m NEVER taking improv. Useful and entertaining. #25wordbookreviews (link)
Mrs. Everything by Jennifer Weiner
GREAT summer read. Lots of juicy stuff taking place over several generations of women, providing a good view into the aftereffects of some tough choices. #25wordbookreviews (link)
Everybody Died, So I Got a Dog by Emily Dean
Slow start but once everyone did in fact start dying, it was a wonderful book. Perhaps I should stop reading memoirs about death and grief. #25wordbookreviews (link)
Rules for Visiting by Jessica Francis Kane
Sweet story of a woman trying to understand the complexities of friendship. I mistakenly thought it was a memoir, but it’s actually a novel. Blerg. #25wordbookreviews (link)
It’s Okay to Laugh (Crying is Cool Too) by Nora McIrney Purmort
This might not be for you. But if it is, if this is that kind of time for you? This is one of the best. #25wordbookreviews (link)
Little by Edward Carey
I love Edward Carey but this book description did not sound like something I’d love. But I did. I really did. Delightfully odd and beautiful. #25wordbookreviews (link)
Hey, Kiddo by Jarrett J Krosoczka
This beautiful graphic novel memoir is about growing up with a drug-addicted mom, being raised by loving imperfect grandparents, and surviving it all with grace. #25wordbookreviews (link)
Life Will Be the Death of Me by Chelsea Handler
Normally not a Handler fan but I really enjoyed this audiobook where she discusses the death of her young brother and her introduction to therapy. #25wordbookreviews (link)
Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb
Incredibly thoughtful and immensely readable memoir about talk therapy from both sides of the couch. Reminded me of the best parts of Tiny Beautiful Things. #25wordbookreviews (link)
