So I’ve done something a bit different with this Booktube review. I typically record 60 second(ish) book reviews, which is quite challenging. But because I was on vacation when I read these books, I let loose a little and extended my vlog to 4 minutes! (apologies to reading in bed for using the ‘vlog’ term-give me an alternative!) Unfortunately I say ‘um’ way too often in this video, and I’ll apologize for that before you watch it because it’s SUPER annoying and cringe-worthy; this is what happens when I don’t practice beforehand! I promise I won’t let it happen again.
Within these painful few minutes, I review Jen Agg’s memoir I Hear She’s a Real Bitch, Jerry Seinfeld’s hilarious book from way back when titled Seinlanguage, and a quick mention of Kevin Kwan’s Rich People Problems (full review here).Â
As you can tell from this video I highly enjoyed all three of these books, and can easily recommend them to most people, except for maybe Jen Agg’s book, just because I can see most men cringing at her rants, or awkwardly flipping past the pencil sketch of her vagina (yup, that’s in there!). The best thing about this video is probably the fact that you can hear the water gently lapping at the shore in the background, it serves as a nice distraction from my mindless ‘umming’ all the time. And yes, I still need to buy a nice camera to film these. Any suggestions?
Seinlanguage cracked me up way back when! I remember my mom had a copy of it and I loved it. You’re right, it’s a good vacation read 🙂 I’m happy to hear the jokes have held up over twenty years, I’ll have to give it another read. Great reviews!
Thanks! It’s a hilarious book isn’t it? I would re-read it in a heartbeat
Oh my goodness Seinlanguage, I read that way back when – maybe in high school? 🙂 I was a huge fan of his show. I still quote it all the time.
Right???? Seinfeld is still one of the best shows of all time
Ah I need to read Seinlanguage!!
EVERYONE needs to read this book 🙂
All I know about cameras is that Canon will always be the way to go hahah Nice review though, the setting is pretty sweet too! 😀
Right? Muskoka is always beautiful. I think I’m going to hit up best buy or something and ask for their opinion, but Canon seems like a safe bet.
From one blogger to another, I love your blog post banners! What program do you use to make them?
Oh thanks! Canva, it’s free!
Thanks!!!
