Sprinkle Glitter on My Grave
Sprinkle Glitter on My Grave: Essays, Observations, Rants | Jill Kargman
7 posts | 6 read | 3 to read
Imagine if New York A-lister Nora Ephron had a love child with America's most-loved comedic scribe, David Sedaris. Their spawn would be Jill Kargman, the bestselling novelist turned satirist and star of Bravo's break-out scripted comedy, Odd Mom Out. Now Kargman shares her razor-sharp wit and backhanded wisdom in a deeply observed and outrageously funny collection of musings, lists, essays, and outrages. From the life-affirming outlook she got from her death-obsessed family (including the antithesis to her Goth aesthetic, ray of sunshine sister-in-law Drew Barrymore) to the appreciation for land (and limbs) she got from swimming with sharks off the South African coast, to the adrenaline-pumping experience that is a Gay Pride parade, Sprinkle Glitter on My Grave is a book about life, death, and everything that happens in between, that will both entertain and inspire.

I found this book back in August in a LFL. I didn‘t know of the author, but the title was too perfect for me not to read as my kick-off to NF November. She‘s funny and also loves the people in her lifetime NYC world. The book is a quick read but I should add the hours I spent down the google- and Instragram- rabbit hole learning more about Jill and family. ↓

marleed This LFL is one of my favorites boxes from which to borrow and donate. But I do have to laugh because the owner is very serious about marking up the books. The end pages are documented in sharpie as a gift from the LFL, the edges, and now the even cover. 2y
Bookwormjillk We've had controversies in my town about used book store owners taking from LFLs and re-selling. I wonder if that was happning to them too. 2y
marleed @Bookwormjillk oh wow - I never thought of that. That‘s terrible! I check out LFLs on my walks all the time. Sometimes it‘s months before I read a book I borrowed from an LFL and might forget the LFL from which I borrowed. I was thinking this was so the books are returned to their LFL. I wrap back and donate at least two for any book I borrow because my own supply is daunting ;) 2y

Stick figure decals of your family on your car's back window: I thought they were the most depressing things in the universe (we don't care to know the exact makeup of your fucking family!)... until I saw a stick figure family with Mickey ears on it. See "Orlandon't" if you even have to ask.

Didn't have much time to read on my trip to Atlanta; however, found this super cute Little Free Library on my run this morning!

MrBook I like finding these 😊. 8y

Getting some reading done while Hubster drives me to #Atlanta to watch my beloved Georgia Bulldogs play. One more day of white pants. #LaborDay #Southernisms

KellyKate I asked hubby if he was ready to change into his fall wallet- he didn't see the humor there. 8y
