Hilarious

I'm not one for non.fiction essays, but after having a Total knee replacement, I needed something light & fun to read. Gini is one of my favorite authors, and she didn't disappoint me. This was a fast read & had me laughing throughout the book.

I am a big fan of Gini Koch’s books, and in awe of her creativity and originality and I love her sense of humor. So when asked if I wanted to review this book, I jumped at the chance.
It is a collection of short stories about her personal life, her friends and family, her pets, things she did and survived, people she met. It is fun, and I could certainly recognize and identify with some stories.

Some examples:
- stories about the hotel from Hell she stayed in twice!
- a friend who cannot navigate at all
- a friend who is so very accident prone, and who lives in a house that is tilted
- her beloved dogs and their farts
- tax day woos
- some stories she wrote in the earlier years and were published in magazines
- her dating adventures before she married her wonderful husband
- her crush on Tom Cruise and Nathan Fillion and others
- adventures when in New York for Halloween
- and my favourite: how Patricia Briggs pranked her once.

If you are a fan of Gini Koch, this is a must read. The stories are all short and fun and easy to read, so you can take your time and reach one a day, or just binge like I did.

9 stars.

If you've ever had the pleasure of meeting Gini at one of the many cons she's a guest of, and if you've been able to hang out with her, then you will love this book, because this is just like sitting down with her and listening to the general wackiness that is her life.....if you've never been so lucky as to meet her, buy this book anyway....you won't believe a quarter of what goes on, but you'll be vastly entertained anyway...;-)

Loved it! I usually don't read nonfiction, and a book of essays didn't sound exciting, but Gini Koch is funny in any form. Highly recommended.
