Of course upon getting to the book section, I snatched up Chelsea's book only to be greeted by this... A new book by another one of my favorite Jewish, Female comedians - Sarah Silverman. Seriously, I love her more than I could even tell you.

No sooner had I squealed with excitement about this book, Mike was pulling a book off the front shelf and flashing it over to me. ZOMG, are you serious?!?!? I yelled. Then my hands were full with three books. The last being the much anticipated (at least for me)... The Carrie Diaries.

I sat in the isle talking to Mike trying to think of a way to put just one of these books down. NO WAY was I dropping Chelea's book I've been wanting it for too long. And I didn't want to drop my girl Sarah. While I was trying to decide between Sarah and Candace I used my free hand to flip over Kate GROSSlin's book - face down because no one wants to look at her, at least I don't. I gave Chuy a shout out from the cover of his new mini book and told him I'd be back for him later, and then I decided with a nudge from Mike to go ahead and buy all three. *Guilty*
Needless to say, it's 10:40 pm here in Alabama and I've already finished Sarah's book and I loved it. It was raining and falling a flood all day today, so it was the best way to spend a lazy Sunday. The book is not as funny as I thought it was going to be initially (I think I was expecting funny stories like Chelsea tells or more of Sarah's comedy, but it was very informative about the woman she was when she was younger and how she became to be the comedy power house she is today. If you love Sarah, you'll love her book. It's a bit more serious but there are definitely jokes through out that made me chuckle and laugh loudly.
I started Chelsea's book earlier this evening and was already laughing through the first chapter well into the third. I had to slow down, it's past my bed time and there is plenty of time to read the rest of these books.
I hope you all had a great weekend!!!

Sounds like you made some solid choices!!! I loved Chelsea's book and finished it on a flight from Boston to Chicago...she's effing hilarious.
Sounds like some great books!
Love the book choices! Sarah Silverman is pretty hilarious.
Sounds like a great day! I spent my Sunday reading most of the day as well! I've not read any of Chelsea's books yet, but they are on my "To Read List".
Okay, I need to go get the Carrie Diaries AND the new Chelsea book. I know I'd love both of those. Not to mention I just cleaned out my bookshelf and have space for a few more new ones... :)
The whole time I was reading your post I was thinking "You have to buy all three." I have a serious book problem. I buy books like most women buy shoes. It's a sickness. I bought a nook so I can stop taking up so much valuable storage space with my books. I'm glad you bought all three and can't wait to hear what you think of The Carrie Diaries.
OMG i LOOOOOVE sarah silverman! she's freaking HILARIOUS!!!! i had no idea she wrote a book. look at her!
and yes chelsea's book is funny too. i still love horizontal life better. let me know how you like the carrie diaries book. i have to say, i'm not a huge fan of the author. i tried reading one of her other books twice (5+ years apart) and i could never get sucked in.
ps. YOU TOTALLY GET ME re: the couples issue. oh how i wish you were my neighbor :)
Stumbled across your blog and LOVE it!
I am so happy to hear a review on this book - I'm dying to buy it ASAP! Thanks for posting!

All three of those books are on my "must-read" list...especially Candace Bushnell's newest! Have a lovely Monday (or what's left of it, anyway!)
okay - good to know. I've been leaning towards getting Chelsea's book, and then just today, I heard about Sarah's. I might have to join you.
Cher - I really liked seeing the other side of Sarah so if you're into that it's a great read.
Mayra - Girl I WISH we were neighbors! I'd be all up in yo' house trying to hang out :) And I have never read any of Candace's work. I only ever watched SATC on tv. I hope that I enjoy this look at Carrie in her younger years.
I MUST get Sarah's book. I adore her too!
If you like funny books you have to check out Jen lancaster's books. Start with Bitter is the new Black. You will pee your pants with laughter.
i think i like/love sarah silverman more than chelsea handler....
i had no idea she even had a book! if it wasnt close to midnight i'd go and get it right now!
.....okay ive just decided that i like/love sarah silverman more than chelsea handler.
thanks for the heads up!
Great choices!!! I love me some good Chelsea reading!!!
Sarah Silverma's "I'm F*&% Matt Damon" Is hysterical! The hubs watched this loke 10 times in a row!. Definetly going to look for The Carrie Diary...great choices!
ooohh, i want to read the sarah silverman book!
and i've probably already said this before, but i'm really blasphemous and don't like sex and the city. i know, i'm a terrible person.
haha
This is why Mer Bear and I love each other. I'm also not a SITC fan. Which is crazy, because it's my cup of tea.
I need to get Sarah's book next. And I CRIED through the first chapter of CCBangBang. It was HILAIR. Though I think of all three of her books this one is my least favorite.
I'm not a Silverman fan, but I do love me some Chelsea. Ooh... ooh. ooh! I need to pick up The Carrie Diaries.
Monique I was losing it the whole time through chapter 1!!!
i loved every second of chelsea's book.
i need to get my hands on sarah's book!!
and the amazon man brought me my carrie diaries today!
yipee!
Sarah Silverman is definitely my girl. However, it seems like I need to snag Chelsea's book as well! Thanks for the great recommendations.
