OMG I Won a copy, I'm so excited!!!Update: the review copy is in the works, so, yay! and thank you Flatiron!
I preordered You Are Here. I am a fan of Jenny Lawson, her candidness about her own mental health challenges and her sense of humor. I started with her book Furiously Happy with the glittery cover complete with a smiling raccoon! I also have followed her a blog a little, and her first book is on my shelf as well. I have dabbled in adult coloring, but more coloring equaled less reading...Well, this book combines both. Filled with affirmations and beautiful illustrations, this is one engaging colo...
I. Adore. Jenny Lawson. That is all.
I loved this book! I also read it at the perfect time. My copy was from the library and other readers had written and colored in it. It made the book that much better. I'll be buying my own copy but I definitely recommend checking out your library copy and writing something for others to see.
I don't know why I never marked this as "read" since I actually wrote it but since I never did it keeps showing up in my recommended "readers like" suggestions like, "HEY HAVE YOU HEARD OF JENNY LAWSON?" and yes, I have. She's a mess and she's left a bunch of dirty dishes in my sink.
This book is dedicated to my chronic anxiety.You are literally always there for me, and you accidentally forced me to make this book to help save me from you. You deserve a vacation.No, really. Go. We're fine here.And more importantly, it's dedicated to the people on the Internet who sit with me (in spirit) while I hide away from the world. You have the key to my pillow fort. Always.I recently told a friend that I have been struggling with depression for two years. (I mean, I've always had depre...
EDITED TO INCLUDE ANOTHER FUN STORY!Nov. 2017: EDITED AGAIN TO INCLUDE AN UPDATE! SCROLL DOWN, DOWN, DOWN TO THE END OF THIS LONG REVIEW!I have SO MANY cool stories surrounding this book.I've bought 6 copies and still don't own one. I haven't even read it yet.However, the joy this thing has brought me since the pre-order date went live is worth those 5 stars and then some.Most of the stories are only cool to me but two of them are cool beyond my borders!STORY 1:One lunchtime, I was scrolling thr...
FINAL UPDATE: As promised from the publisher, I received a complete book and the final copy is impressive. I had received a sample book that was about 8 pages. The complete, finished and published copy is 150 pages. It is available for pre-order at Amazon and will release on March 7, 2017.Now, what I have read and the artwork has had me laughing, and yes, there was some inspiration and humor in those lines. It is sometimes raw, edgy, emotional, a chance to express feelings, and the artwork is im...
I wasn't sure when I started this if I would like it. It's not really like her other two books, which were more memoir-ish. At first glance, this looks a bit like an adult coloring book, as there are pictures on almost every other page that are black-and-white, and yes, they can be colored in by the reader. There's some text by the author, mostly some of her musings, but sometimes just a sentence or two. Very self-help-y. Which seems at odds with an author who yells and swears at her loving husb...
This was a quick read, which makes sense since it's half colouring book and have inspirational quotes! Very good though! I love the illustrations, which are beautifully drawn and have quotes running through them! The pages are perforated for easy tearing an colouring! Also arranged in such a way that there is a quote on the back of the art, so if the ink bleeds through when you are colouring you won't care. Some favourite quotes from the book:Sometimes people come into your life just to teach yo...
This book is beautiful. I don't think I've ever read anything that has hit so close to home or made me so emotional. The words inside are ones I didn't know I needed to hear (or read, I suppose), and the illustrations are ones I didn't know I needed to see. From now on, whenever I feel depressed or worthless, I know what book I'll be using as my anchor. I will look at this book and be reminded that I am still here.
Sometimes people come into your life just to teach you how not to become them.only jenny lawson could pull off a book like this.if someone had said to me, “here, why don’t you read this coloring book that is full of affirmations about the importance of embracing your damage and finding inner strength and realizing you are not alone in the world, which features snippets of empowering phrases woven throughout the line drawings and opportunities to share personal experiences to better understand yo...
Yet another book that is spectacular to have on hand when I need a lift.
Really great! Combination of humor, coloring, sarcasm, and inspiration. This book definitely would not be for everyone due to language, but it made me laugh! An adult coloring book at its finest! :)
This book is like a really funny, compassionate friend who comes over to your house to cheer you up. Filled with advice and reassurance, not to mention lovely drawings to color, it's sure to be of help when your world goes pear shaped.
This was the perfect first book for the New Year, and one of the more useful mental health books I've ever read. Jenny Lawson, aka The Bloggess, is upfront about her struggles against her own mind and the blessings and curses along the way. I can relate. What I appreciate about this is that it feels like anecdotes and conversation with a friend who gets it--this isn't some preachy doctor telling you think this or do this and you'll be "normal." Nope. What the heck is normal, anyway? The books fe...
Awesomely perfect. I kept thinking, "This is the exact right time in my life to read this book," but the beauty of it is, I have a feeling that when I re-read and re-re-read and re-re-re-read it, I'll think the same thing. I want to buy at least 3 more to give as gifts.***2017 Popsugar Challenge - Book you've read before and makes you smile (okay, I haven't read it before, but let's just look into the future a bit.)
Thank you to my Wine Camp girls for this book! Lawson’s nuggets of inspiration and wisdom and corresponding sketches/doodles were such fun to read and helped me to remember that I Am Here. And that’s all that matters. ❤️
What a brilliant compilation of inspiring quotes, witty stories and the invitation to create by coloring in the beautiful designs scattered throughout this book. Jenny keeps it real yet hilarious. She has such good words for people at any stage of their life journey whether it's in dealing with mental heath struggles, being creative or just getting through the day. Here are some of my favorite quotes from the book;"Surviving the darkest moments will make you stronger in will, character, empathy,...
This is exactly what I needed today. Quick, inspiring read.
