Love casual Amy! Highly recommend the audiobook. Sometime when I'm sitting around being lazy as hell, I think of Leslie embroidering pillows of her friends' faces in what seems like an evening. It should be inspiring, but usually it just makes me want to re-watch Parks & Rec. 😉 🌺

I listened to the audiobook on this one and would recommend it. I thought hearing her jokes was better. I also liked all the guest appearances. I think the best part of the book was her reading to a live audience at the end. The jokes were so much funnier with her interaction with the audience and the laughter. I would have preferred if the book was more linear, it jumped from different years and times, but that seems to match Amy‘s personality.

This is a re-read for me. I read it for the first time a few years ago and thought it was funny and heartfelt. It has funny stories of Amy's upbringing and career as well as heartfelt but still amusing life advice.

First finish (clocking about 4 hours) for the #20in4 readathon. I enjoyed this look at the life and career of Amy Poehler. She definitely strikes me as someone who is as hard-working and dedicated as she is funny.

I think this is the fifth bio of someone famous I‘ve read so far this year and I gotta say, I don‘t think it works for me. I just feel like there tends to be a lot of names they use that it feels like I should know who they‘re talking about, but I don‘t because I just don‘t follow anyone that closely. Interesting inside look at the person but I think I‘m not going to do famous people bios anymore.

I liked it! It was funny, as expected, but also had some serious bits. Not everything aged well. (Her glowing comments about Louis C.K. for example.) Overall I really liked her views on life interspersed with her own experiences. There were also guests that popped in throughout. It was a fun listen.

This was enjoyable, and I liked the mixed-media elements. But for some reason, I just wasn't feeling pulled to pick it back up after I would put it down. Some of the small things that were supposed to be funny just don't hit right anymore. I love Amy, but this felt like she was trying too hard.

This box of books is what I was able to clear out from my personal library using audiobooks through Libby. I‘m finding audiobooks are the best way for me to read lately because I‘m really bad about sitting still for too long and have the attention span the size of a flea.

rather_be_reading it always feels nice to clear some out 3y
IhoardBOOKS @rather_be_reading Absolutely, that picture was for what I‘d cleared out about mid-April, I‘ve since filled the box doing this and it‘s great. I love books and collecting books but even I start to feel like a hoarder after so much 😂 (edited) 3y
lazydaizee Books do take up a lot of room , so it is nice to have a clear out. I have some to go to the charity shop when things get back to normal. 3y

Some of the stories in here are hilarious, especially with the interactions on the audiobook, but I'm not a fan of celebrities giving life advice, and Poehler did a little more of that than I would have preferred. And there's SO MUCH name dropping. #lmpbc

@rjsthumbelina I hope to be sending this on to you soon.

 @Roary47 which of the goodies you included in the package am I meant to keep and which should I pass along?

Roary47 There should be one for each of you. Pick your favorite and pass on the rest. 4y
Roary47 I can‘t remember what I put 😅 if there is only one of stuff that‘s yours. 4y
ImperfectCJ @Roary47 :-) Well, there's one pen, two little notebooks, and three bookmarks. The bookmarks I was pretty sure about, but the other items I wasn't as confident. 4y

4✨ This is hilarious! She has a natural gift for humor and while there is some heavy content at times she doesn‘t throw people under the bus and owns up to when she is wrong. I think her advise is worth a look at. While I really enjoyed it I personally did not like the drugs and sex talks since I did the audible with kids around. So just be mindful it‘s there if you decide to go this route. #LMPBC #GroupV

An inspiring and funny collection of tales from across Amy Poehler's life. She reminded me of how the creative life is a series of projects, some of which also get to be our jobs, but all of which get to form our careers. I've been sharing this nugget of wisdom with my coaching clients for the past couple of weeks. ❤️ Loved it!

My Rating: 5/5
There was basically 0.5% chance that I wouldn't like this book - but I didn't like it; I loved it! Poehler managed to write a book that was, in my opinion, the perfect balance between funny and serious. It has the perfect amount of artfully described childhood and career experiences to give insight into who she is. I would highly recommend the audiobook.

I have been wanting to read this for years. It was exactly what I was hoping for and I adored it. Equal parts hilarious and heartwarming with some lovely messages mixed in.

I have always enjoyed Amy Poehler but I think I like her even more after reading this. It has a different tone to it than Tina Fey‘s Bossypants but just as amusing.

The first half, I was kinda disappointed: it was just ok, a lot about motherhood that seemed redundant with other working mom celebrities. The second half, she talks more about her career and Parks and Rec that makes sticking with the book worth it!

Before I started listening to audiobooks, I read this as an ebook and thought it was just okay.

Audio is a game-changer on this memoir! From Sir Patrick Stewart reading haikus to the lovely back and forth between her and Seth Meyers, it was pure fun! It made all my chores and errands so much more enjoyable. 4⭐️ #audiobook

obviateit Yes! Audiobook memoirs from actors are my favorite. Audiobook memoirs from authors are hit or miss, in my experience— I think because having a way with words on paper doesn‘t always translate to being an engaging speaker. 4y
Megabooks @obviateit that is so true. Actors know how to read it! I know there are people who always prefer to have a memoir author narrate their own book, but sometimes a good voice over artist makes for a better read. This memoir I‘m reading now has a VO artist and it‘s working out well so far. 4y

My husband and I joined Team Hope that helps feed children in Haiti and it makes me smile to know that we can even do a small part to help.

It's a great book for a laugh during these dark times. It‘s real in the way you want memoirs to be; it‘s funny in the way you hope a comic‘s memoir is; and it‘s raw in a way a strong woman who knows her own mind is. With cameos and advice, Poehler is funny and serious. She makes it clear she hates writing books, don't expext another one anytime soon. https://onthebl.org/2020/10/04/id-like-all-advice-to-be-as-friendly-as-amy-poehl...

I can‘t say I was a huge fan of Amy when I picked up this book, but I would have to say I am a bigger fan now. Yes, the book was hilarious and had me laughing the entire time, but Amy is a comedian so that was to be expected. I think it was her willingness to be vulnerable about her fears, her history of drug use, her openness about her divorce and her needing to find her-self again. I enjoyed it. #overbookedclub #monthofmemoirs

Y'all, this book was so good!! I listened to it (Amy reads it herself) and enjoyed every minute! She's a fantastic reader. It really just sounds like she's talking to you! It was funny, thoughtful, sweet and encouraging. I love SNL and Parks and Rec so it was cool to get some behind the scenes info. I loved how she spoke about her ex-husband but didn't give salacious details or put him down. Very classy. I want to be her best friend now!

Confession time: I haven't seen Parks and Recreation and we didn't get SNL in the UK when Poehler featured (or if we did it was on at a stupid time on a cable channel I did not have) but I loved hearing about how she rose to the top. She's not afraid to admit where she's made mistakes. I admire her reflective honesty and growth because of it.

100% recommended audiobook! I‘m stating this because Amy Poehler made it work, and I‘m not sure reading this would have the same reaction. Her giggles were adorable.

Amy Poehler shares life stories, advice and behind the scenes looks into her time on SNL and Parks and Recreation. It sounds like she is a genuine person, and the book left me feeling good.

And that‘s always a plus!
