I didn't think I could love @issarae even more but I do. Reading her book #TheMisadventuresOfAwkwardBlackGirl allowed me to learn more about her organically and why the show #Insecure felt like an accurate reflection of Black girls of my generation. – From her childhood struggles to stories of what makes her awkward, Issa is us and we are her. I'm so proud to have a beautiful, talented, and grounded Black woman representing us in Hollywood and beyond. – As a huge fan, Issa Rae is my biggest inspiration and we are both Capricorns! I would highly recommend this book for a great laugh and for a reminder of what makes us being a Black girl so magical! – Book available for N5,000.

Yes Please – Amy Poehler

We can always count on the Parks and Recreation star to make us laugh, and that’s certainly what she did with this bestselling memoir.

Poehler’s BFF and SNL co-star Tina Fey is also no stranger to writing hilarious memoirs, and this story of her incredible journey sold millions of copies since its debut.

Dear Girls – Ali Wong

Ali Wong’s Dear Girls differs from the rest of the books on this list because it’s not your classic celebrity memoir, but a collection of funny and touching letters she wrote for her daughters.

Dear Mindy,⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I loved you in The Mindy Project, I loved you in your commencement address to Dartmouth grads, I loved you in your review of Oreo flavors (have you tried the double chocolate?), and now I loved you in this book. Your witty, hyperbolic, and ironic comedy works well in written form. I feel like I get you; in turn, you made me laugh out loud so many times like a Canadian goose, that my toddler kept asking what was wrong. I’d like to think if we had crossed paths in high school, we might have hung out, and if we had met in college, I hope we’d have hung out. But, if we met now, it would presumably be in a noraebang in K-town, and we’d for sure have a helluva good time!⁣ ⁣⁣ Thank you for this gem of a book. I think it’s just as good as Tina Fey’s memoir, if not better. 😉⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Sincerely,⁣⁣ A fan⁣ who has become avid ⁣ ⁣⁣ ………….…………………………………………………………..⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #annaandthebooks2019 ⁣⁣ #bookstagram #bookstagramaz🌵 #bookstagrammers #readreadread #bookworm #bookphotography #bookphoto #nonfictionbooks #essaywriting #humorbooks #comedybooks #nonfictionnovember #celebritymemoir #mindykalingbook #mindykaling #iseveryonehangingoutwithoutme
