Day 17 – The most hilarious book you’ve ever read.
Well, since I already used The Confessions of Georgia Nicolson in an earlier post for this challenge, I'll go with my runner up answer: Bossypants by Tina Fey.
First off, I love the cover. Just seeing that makes me giggle like an idiot, so there's that. And I'm a huge Tina Fey fan, so I was excited to read this book just on principle.

Today’s post is going to be a little different because it’s assignment week here for me so everything’s due and I’m busy staring at the calendar, desperately wondering where all my time went.

Meet Shani – she’s 32, single and has a job to die for and is very happy with her life. So why does everyone insist on trying to convince her that the only way to the true happiness is meeting the perfect man?
When Shani’s horoscope miraculously reveals that now is the best time of her life for marriage, her mother decides to take control.
Perhaps better known as a poet, having published three collections of poetry in the last few years, and as MC of the monthly North Beach Poetry Nights in the Crane Bar, Galway, John Walsh is also a writer of short stories, and Border Lines, recently published by Doire Press, presents an excellent sampling of what he is capable of.
Kate Couric is one of my virtual mentors, even though initially her perkiness got on my nerves, I have always appreciated her hustle.
And I admire the way she has continued to work and write about her very personal experience of losing a husband and raising two girls by herself while also commanding respect for herself in the broadcast journalism industry, which can't be an easy feat.
