Book recommendation for you-all

Book recommendation for you-all was created by eklein
I recently read this memoir - Let's Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson. It is a mostly funny (lot of laugh at loud, embarass yourself with tears from laughing) memoir of an odd life but the relevant fact is in the course of the memoir she discovers she has APS and then later, RA. She takes methotrexate. It is a small part of the story but interesting to see her journey. Plus lot of funny stuff.

I got it from the library.

Ha ha - I was wondering what you were doing in the other section!

Well, now I want to read this book too. I just ordered Proof of Heaven and want to order the other book recommended by Mark, now this one. I also have five other books stacked up that I want to read. I guess I'll have something to do this winter. Daytime TV sucks.

I know the library would be a good option, but since I let them sit so long, I need Amazon!

Okay, just ordered both of those plus one....The Divinity of Dogs. It popped up when I searched for the other ones and had a five star review. If only I had a fire place....
