If you need a Parks and Recreation fix and have already watched the series 5+ times, look no further than this beauty on audiobook. It's as if Ron Swanson is whispering life advice in your ears for 10 hours.

This kicks ass on audio. Pretty much burned through it this LBW. Slay, Schumer.

Hooked

“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”

This story is beautiful. Don't let the author's hesitancy scare you away - you can tell he was really nervous to release this into the wild. There are so many amazing characters in this book, only one of them human. Also, 8 pages about making a candle - my favorite part of the story.

Best. Foreward. Ever.

This man is a genius. After recently watching his new Netflix standup, I knew I had to give this a read. Patton Oswalt is also a fantastic writer, which I suppose I wasn't expecting? Not for any reason. But it's funny and touching and beautiful all at once.

I wasn't sure how I felt about the interview style way of storytelling, but it really managed to pack a lot of narrative into just 300 pages. Recommending to everyone I know. I can't wait for the sequel next year.

While I thoroughly enjoyed this read, I'm upset we couldn't see this story play out in the context of the Clone Wars television show, as it was originally intended.

As a fan of NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast and Monkey See blog, I was quick to pick this up. It's an informative, casual and endearing read that I would recommend to both Batman veterans and newbies (here!) alike. The last page even choked me up.
