WWW Wednesday and a BOOK REVIEW of Hyberbole and a Half!

 dog add Daily Afternoon Randomness (50 Photos)
Today is one of those days where I don't think I will be able to get enough coffee into my system, which is weird because I actually had a really good solid sleep. Which I always get after yoga.

Anyways, I thought I'd do a booky type post. A book review and a little bit of WWW.

WWW is hosted by Should Be Reading and it is a weekly meme that asks these 3 questions:
1) What are you currently reading?
2) What did you recently finish reading?
3)What do you think you’ll read next?
 
1) I am currently reading the ever so stimulating The Fame Game by Lauren Conrad. It's been on my kindle for such a long time, I decided to finally start it. I feel like I'm reading Laguna Beach.
2) I just finished reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I feel like I needed a refresher before Catching Fire comes out.
3) Which is what my next book will be. I just am waiting for my mom to finish reading it.
 The Fame Game (Fame Game, #1)  The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games #1)  Catching Fire (The Hunger Games, #2)

Today's book review is going to be done on Hyperbole and a Half: Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayhem, and Other Things That Happened by Allie Brosh.
5 stars yo!

Hyperbole and a Half: Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayhem, and Other Things That Happened 
 
I love this comic. I've been checking out her blog for a long time now (well ever since my bff introduced me to it) and always chuckle hard at the comics, so when I saw thie book pop up on netgalley I requested it right away. And then I got approved for it! Best day ever! Well, no probably not the best day ever, but it was pretty sweet.
 
The book is a compliation of some her her best and favouritist blog posts. So if you are a fan of Hyperbole and a Half you probably have read them before. And if you haven't, go check it out.
 
Anyways, the illustrations look like a 5 year old could have drawn them, but that is the charm. Because not only could I have drawn them (well if I coulds draw) but this shows the majority of how I think,
 
Some of my favourite stories were: Letters to youngerself, The God of Cake,
 
 
 
 
and on the more serious side her description of depression.
 
 

And I realize you could just go and read most of the stories on line, but I seriously recommend you buy this book- I mean there are 10 completley new stories! What a great coffee table/bathroom reading book. It's easy, entertaining and for sure to make you laugh!
