For this month's personal challenge, I made a blueberry pie from I Like You for my husband's birthday. Now the hard part is to wait for it to cool down. #monthlybookrecipechallenge

I Like You by Amy Sedaris

This is super fun. Great tips and funny suggestions. This book inspired me to have a "F*** It Bucket" in my house.

Post a book cover you love every day for a week!

#7days7covers #covercrush Day 1 @Susannah Tag, you're it! I'll just tag you every day, in fact ;)

Susannah Did you tag me every day? I want to do this challenge, but I need to line up the books in advance, so I don‘t miss a day. 5y
pigeonsandcrows @Susannah I didn't tag you every day because I finally decided that was maybe a little excessive! 5y

gradcat Omigod—gotta love this one! 😂 5y
madamereadsalot1 @gradcat I love Amy Sedaris! She's hilarious. She and her brother both are! 5y
gradcat I 100% agree. Have you seen her TV show? The one that is a parody of household management? 5y
madamereadsalot1 @gradcat I've only seen one episode! So funny! 5y

“Commit or decline. If you cannot come to the party, do not cancel at the last minute or give a message to a child to inform the host. And don‘t bother explaining why you can‘t attend because anything after “because” is bullshit.” 😆

This was pretty fun on #audio. It‘s a good mix of dark humor, which I love, and actual good tips. Plus, recipes. And I love that cover.

vivastory I love David's anecdotes about her 6y
britt_brooke @vivastory Me, too. And I love when she narrates parts in his audiobooks. 6y
vivastory BTW Happy Holidays! 🎄📚 6y

JacqMac I love this book. I read it while I was up for middle of the night feedings with my youngest. He‘s 11 now, but it still has warm place in my heart. 6y
britt_brooke @JacqMac Aw, I love those kinds of memories. 💚 6y
AvidReader25 I thought this one was funny on audio too. 6y

#TuneIntoNovember #AnotherNightOnMars 👽It's been ages since I've featured this book which never fails to make me giggle. I'm meant to be reading a review book for tomorrow but I'm binging Amy's TruTV show 'At Home with Amy Sedaris' which is like this book come to life. Amy sometimes seems like she is from another planet (in the best way) & an upcoming show has her befriending an alien👽with her famous cheeseball so it works for this prompt.😆💚👽

Don't leave a piece of jewelry at his house so you can go back and get it later; he may be with his real girlfriend.

Cookbooks on shelves instead of stacked up on a broken, red Rubbermaid bucket. I feel almost civilized.

Not that I need hospitality advice in my life at the moment, I just think Amy Sedaris is a riot and I had to see what this book was all about. One part useful, one part funny (in her sick humor sort of way), and I now want to make her recipe for blue balls for my next gathering.

#riotgrams #funnybooks I have other funny books & I've used this book for the same prompt but I can't help it-Amy Sedaris & her entertaining/crafts books never fail to make me laugh. I own 'I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence' but I probably should buy 'Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People" too-plus I just found out they're also audiobooks so all bets are off! I ? her blend of quirky earnestness & wacky mania & want to see her apartment?

Dolly She is off-the-wall funny. I listened to one or two of her books that she narrated. That voice!😂 7y
rabbitprincess I love that she has a bunny! 🐰 7y
lute Have you checked out her brother? 7y

What a lovely thing to wake up to - you like me!

I absolutely refused to get involved in social media for SO long, and then Litsy happened.
The rest of it is still not for me, but here? YES.

Thanks for all the book chat with strangers, Team Litten!

#Day20 #AugustPhotoChallenge #funnybooks A friend gave me this Amy Sedaris book & it never fails to crack me up. Tips, crafts & recipes for a variety of parties: Lumberjack Lunch, Blind Date, Ladies Night, Entertaining the Elderly (that chapter font is giant!) & even Rabbits. The photos & writing are hilarious especially her Gift Giving & Pantyhose Craft sections (w/ step-by-step pics as Amy demos putting on pantyhose). Quirky, bawdy fun! 👍😀🎉

MeganMarieWrites I freaking love Amy Sedaris!! 8y
BekahB I love her! 8y
