Book Bag - Bossypants by Tina Fey

I am not the kind of reader that reads a book in 3 days but I read Tina Fey's Bossypants in 3 days. The book is more like having a conversation then reading a book. It's like getting really good emails from your friend about what's going on in their lives. It's written in a playful way and reads quickly and easily.

It's interesting to read about Tina Fey's humble beginnings. It shared some great quirky childhood experiences and it was great to remember simpler times and those awkward childhood memories that only now we can look back at and laugh about.

It also shows how far women have come over the past 20 years as she references her former boss from Second City who believed that no one wanted to see two women on stage and to see that she would then  go on to become one of the biggest sensations on Saturday Night Live and shared the stage with Amy Poehler doing Hilary Clinton and Sarah Palin achieving one of the best ratings for SNL and was global hit.

Tina Fey is a great writer and this is truly a fun book. It's a great summer read and I highly recommend adding this to your summer book list.

Book Bag - Bossypants by Tina Fey

I have always liked Tina Fey. Her humor, her timing, her expressions are always on point and everything she does is funny. She's a writer, comedian, actress, author and oh yeah a boss. Her new book, Bossypants, is the perfect summer read. It is the next read in my book club and I just picked it up, from the library might I add. I have only read the first couple chapters but it is funny and an easy read. I guess it's not a big surprise that she's a great writer since she's been a comedy writer for years. Tina Fey is a great role model and here is another great woman that can do it all, her way. I'll give another update when I'm done and can't wait to finish.
