September 2011: It Looked Different on the Model
HOSTESS: Monica
PAGES: 240 pages
PUBLISHED: 2011
REASON CHOSEN: "I picked this book because I wanted something humorous and light for summertime and the reviews all looked good."
MEETING DATE/TIME: September 15th @ 6:30PM
FIRST IMPRESSION RATING (AVERAGE): 4.8
Everyone’s favorite Idiot Girl, Laurie Notaro, is just trying to find the right fit, whether it’s in the adorable blouse that looks charming on the mannequin but leaves her in a literal bind or in her neighborhood after she’s shamefully exposed at a holiday party by delivering a low-quality rendition of “Jingle Bells.” Notaro makes misstep after riotous misstep as she shares tales of marriage and family, including stories about the dog-bark translator that deciphers Notaro’s and her husband’s own “woofs” a little too accurately, the emails from her mother with “FWD” in the subject line (“which in email code means Forecasting World Destruction”), and the dead-of-night shopping sprees and Devil Dog–devouring monkeyshines of a creature known as “Ambien Laurie.” At every turn, Notaro’s pluck and irresistible candor set the New York Times bestselling author on a journey that’s laugh-out-loud funny and utterly unforgettable.
Firefly Lane Recap
Thank you Michelle for hosting us! We had a small turnout for bookclub this month, but it was still a fun successful meeting! The book reminded us alot of one of the books we read last year Best Friends Forever.
Most of us cried at the end of this emotional story and felt that it was a great summer read.
Below are the ratings and pictures!
