Book Opinion - Me Talk Pretty One Day

Met Talk Pretty One Day is our book club pick for July in our work book club.  I've read David Sedaris a bunch of times, have seen in him person at least three times.  I highly recommend it.  His delivery of his written work is just everything.

I actually had this book already autographed.  I didn't remember much about it, but there are some really great stories.  His books, if you don't already read them, are a collection of essays of situations or people he knows - little slices of life.  Are they true?  Partly, I'm sure.  Are they entertaining?  Definitely.

This one is solid, but maybe not my favorite.  It's up there though.  I can't say it's a bad first outing if you've never read him before - good enough to be entertainment but leaves some of the great work still yet to come.

6. Rough Riders series by Lorelei James (NOTE: The order of the series can be found here.)

I actually have had A Wallflowers Christmas forever, and I thought it would be nice to read during the holidays. It was quite cute. A word of note that the last series listed is erotica so don't go checking it out if you're not into that type of thing. It's extremely graphic. If you do like that sort of thing, it was well done for the genre. There was an actual storyline with a touch of romance.
