Carsick: John Waters Hitchhikes Across America | 
“Attending” this in about a half an hour. I went to one of John Waters book tours in DC and had a great time hearing his stories. Looking forward to more.
Okay, I‘ve got to wash that sticky sweet taste out of my mouth from that last audiobook, This Victorian Life. Bleh. This should do the trick, hahaha.
so-soI got the audiobook and I really enjoyed the story because John is the narrator. I‘m giving it a so-so since if I had read it myself I wouldn‘t have liked it as much. It‘s fun but isn‘t lingering in my thoughts. I do keep thinking that I drove 70 west to Iowa once right through the places he got stuck, and keep wishing it had been at the same time and could have picked him up.
panJohn Waters decides to write a book about hitchhiking across the United States. Sadly, only 1/4 of the book covered the actual rides he received. The rest of the book included fictional and outlandish stories of possible rides he might receive. He seemed to want to turn a magazine article into a book.
bailedThis review comes from my husband. I brought home this book on my TBR list and he got ten pages in before throwing it down with “who the f*ck is John Waters? He‘s so full of himself. Acting like people might recognize him. I‘m not reading this.” So I guess I‘ll cross it off my list.
pickA super fun jaunt through 3 hitchhiking trips with John Waters. Fictitious good rides and bad rides cross country and the actual trip, which was really very interesting. However, know what you're getting into!! Waters writes fof specific populations unashamedly and is famous for some of the trashiest movies out there! Overall, he was wonderful to listen to and even mentioned a new true crime story I never heard of! #Booked2020 #ArmchairTravel
This book is written in 3 parts. A fictitious good hitchhiking trip, a fictitious bad hitchhiking trip and the real account. If you know John Waters at all, you can only begin to imagine what the bad trip is like... I've had to skip 2 chapters already, simply because they're quite vulgar. I can only take so much of explicit descriptions of gay sex before noon. 😂😂😂
Of all the hobbies I'd expect John Waters to have, hitchhiking wouldn't be my first choice but... LOL, not sure if this is better #ArmchairTravel or #MadeYouLOL for #Booked2020 but I will tell you it's not for the faint of heart!! I've blushed several times already and that's totally unlike me!
**I missed the part in the prologue where the book starts with 2 imagined trips 😂**

I did manage a quick library stop yesterday to pick up a hold before I spent all day at my company picnic & made adash into the library bookstore for their 50% off sale. I scored these two books on my #TBR for just $1. 🤗I think the Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu & John Waters are a diverse group & Waters apparently meets #EveryKindaPeople on his cross country hitchhiking road trip.

pickIf you love John Waters, this book ( do the audiobook, he narrates!) will entertain you enormously! I‘m from Baltimore and I used to live in his neighborhood, and adore his quirky, trashy art. I highly recommend it and won‘t give it all away.

Another rainy day. The rain and wind really slowed me down. The rain stopped just as I got home. The clouds cleared and the foothills have snow! And today's book is really funny! 🙃

And more as I see fit.
Started listening to this #audiobook on #Libby yesterday. It's narrated by John Waters, I'm 2 hours in and we're still on his imagining the best case scenario for his hitchhiking trip across America... I can't even imagine what his idea of worst case scenario is going to look like. 😂
I DID NOT have a great day today and my night at work started off quite turbulent. After I finished Beautiful You ( I wasn't ready for the content however I couldn't put it down once I started) I started this on audio. I've been laughing ever since. Nothing like sarcasm and dark humor to turn your day ALL THE WAY AROUND!
Sorry!!!!!!🙁
I've been 🚗less so my #bookmail packages just went out today for #restingbookface to @AThousandLives87 and for the #buddyread @Tiffness83 #springbreakbookexchange
Hopefully they will be there soon.
I forgot to tell y'all that I got the opportunity to sell books for John Waters last weekend. Yeah, I love my job.
Carsick by John Waters was one of the books #boughtonvacation at Avid Books in Athens, GA a couple of years ago. I love hitting up local bookstores while traveling. 😍 #feistyfeb
pickJohn Waters hitchhikes from Baltimore to San Francisco...would've loved to have picked this man up...such genius! The last section of the book (his actual adventure) was the most enjoyable for me, though the first two novellas are Waters at his filthiest. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
I want to plan a road trip to visit all your bookstores. So many books, so many stores, so much love! (I'm not going to hitchhike. That could be dangerous. Or, it could be the beginning of an awesome book like this one.) #getindie
Just picked up this beauty on audiobook from the library. John Waters seems like a perfect road trip companion!
pickJohn Waters is a God. This book is a collection of real and imagined stories that take place while Waters' hitchhikes across the U.S. It's funny, ridiculous, strange, funny, charming and gross. Waters is beyond clever, a genuine artist who doesn't care what anyone thinks. His stories are refreshing.
pickI really enjoyed this book, adventurous and funny! Part fiction, part non fiction, the book is divided into three parts; the good rides that could happen, the bad rides that could happen, and the real rides that actually happened as he hitched his way cross country.
