Fifty Things That Aren't My Fault: Essays from the Grown-up Years | Cathy Guisewite

pick

If you lived by the wisdom of Cathy‘s comic strip & you happen to have 90-year-old parents like the author, this book is a hoot! The stories about moms who save every plastic container, use newspaper bags for storage, ignore expiration dates on food and shun any digital upgrades, made me laugh out loud...and really appreciate my own Mom all the more.
P.S. Check out latest Cathy humor on Instagram/Cathygwite

so-so

I am not sure about this one. I was expecting more humor, less sermonizing, and more epiphanies than what existed in this collection of essays by Cathy Guisewite, the creator of Cathy comics, which I enjoyed ages ago. I agree on most of the demise sections and relationships with children and aging parents. This might be for an older audience or something just felt off.

MemoirsForMe I‘m probably one of those older people that may get this book. 😆 I really do want to read it. I loved her comic strip for ages. 5y

NeedsMoreBooks @UwannaPublishme I liked her comics too but she seemed whiny in this 🤦🏻‍♀️ I hope you like it 😄 5y

MemoirsForMe 😁 I‘ll keep you posted! 5y

NeedsMoreBooks @UwannaPublishme yes, please 😊 5y

Cathy is in a very different phase of life than I and I had a hard time relating. Her sense of humor also just wasn‘t clicking for me. A great book for my mom, but less so for me. #netgalley

I am in a reading funk; tried both of these books and just can't get into them. l think they'd be good books to read. I might have to try again someday, but just not right now.

I‘m giving this a pick because I do think it‘s good, but it honestly wasn‘t for me right now. I loved the comic strip and thought I would really relate to this, but instead I ended up seeing more of my mother. I love mom, but I wasn‘t looking for her version of neurotic privilege at the moment. I have a feeling she‘ll love it, though.

Growing up I was huge fan of the Cathy comic strip.
Creator Cathy Guisewite just released a book of essays, it is insightful, relatable and funny.
It first chapter I laughed out loud 5 times.
Highly recommend
