Wow, No Thank You. by Samantha Irby

4 stars A hilarious collection of essays ranging from the writing process to health problems to getting older to relationships and married life. This is the first book I’ve read from Irby (but won’t be the last!). I’ll admit it took me a bit to get into the flow of it. The audiobook is read…

Ghostopolis by Doug TenNapel

4 stars An engaging and fast-paced adventure through the afterlife. This story has a little bit of everything. A shadowy villain, a trusty sidekick, a side romance, an unsure hero, and a fascinating look at the world of the dead. I wasn’t sure what to expect with this one but was pulled in from nearly…

5 stars The grossest Captain Underpants adventure so far. Even in audio format, the descriptions are stomach churning, complete with disgusting sound effects. Absolutely hilarious and very entertaining. This far into the series and I am solidly enjoying the audio format. I loved these books as a kid and wasn’t sure how well they’d translate…

The Captain Underpants series is great for reluctant readers and book lovers alike and this audio version provides a fun listening experience. With different voice actors and voice changes for different characters, hilariously cheesy sound effects, and epic music, this is a fun book to listen…

Nice examples of ingenuity, creative problem solving, and doing what you love. Also has nice messages about not putting down other’s interests because of your own opinions and being open to…

The Adventures of Captain Underpants by Dav Pilkey

5 stars I loved this series growing up. It was probably the series I re-read the most after Harry Potter. Hilariously funny, great story, humorous characters. I just recently saw the movie adaptation and was pleasantly surprised. After much searching, I finally found my old copies of the books in my mom’s attic and thought…
