Alle Jahre nie mehr wieder
Alle Jahre nie mehr wieder | Laurie Notaro
7 posts | 15 read | 3 to read
Es ist die schnste und zugleich schrecklichste Zeit des Jahres, wenn der Genuss von Lebkuchen und Dominosteinen direkt zu Umfangszuwchsen an den Oberschenkeln fhrt. Alle Jahre wieder weihnachtet es sehr! Doch alle guten Vorstze, was man dieses Jahr zum Fest unbedingt anders, besser, frher oder berhaupt nicht mehr machen will, lassen sich - der Familie zuliebe - mal wieder nicht umsetzen.

I had the pleasure of sitting next to Laurie Notaro in our AP English class back in 1983. Her satirical voice was on display even way back then. I have followed and read her books ever since, and I reread my favorites. This is one of them. If you're from my era, you will laugh snot out of your nose at her and her family's antics around the holidays. She's the female Dave Barry, IMHO, and she never fails to lift my mood.

ShelleyBooksie This sounds so good! 3mo

dabbe @ShelleyBooksie It is! Her books are hilarious! 🤩 3mo
dabbe @TEArificbooks I do, too! She always cheers me up! 🤩 3mo
dabbe @jdiehr It was, though she hated it because all we wrote was literary analysis; her strength is the personal narrative. 😍 3mo
dabbe @Mimi28 😍 3mo
quietjenn Ah, how cool! I've really enjoyed her books in the past, and should hunt up this one and others that I've missed. 3mo
Hooked_on_books No way! That‘s so cool. 3mo
dabbe @quietjenn It was just the light-hearted fun I needed--with a sarcastic bent of course! 🤩🤩🤩 3mo

This collection of Christmas-themed essays was entertaining...I did laugh out loud in many places. And it‘s a super quick read. One of the essays really didn‘t have anything to do with Christmas, which made me wonder why it was included, but overall, enjoyable.

A lot of the stories feel like she's trying to hard to be funny but they were entertaining anyway, especially for randomly finding at the library.

First holiday book of the season. This is humorous essays by Notaro themed around the Christmas season. I laughed at a few, especially stories involving her mother. Some I skimmed. Overall enjoyable quick holiday read. #readwomen #holidayreads #libraryreads
