It's been awhile, so here's a book review!

It's been a crazy few weeks at our house as we've been dealing with a lot of sickness and we've been shopping for a new vehicle. First of all, Landen is on her second double-ear infection in less than two weeks. I was incapacitated with a nasty sinus infection while Scott hurt his back shoveling snow. We were the definition of a hot mess. We're on the mend now and trying to get back to normal.  :)
Along with the sickness, we were searching for a new car/SUV for me. We were lucky enough to find an awesome deal and a new ride for us to accommodate the entire family plus some. I feel like I really got my "mom card" now that I have an SUV. A Buick Rendezvous to be exact. The thing I love the most is that the name of my car is a vocab word for my sophomores. Gotta love that! 
Now on to my main topic. Over the past six months or so I've been reading books written by my favorite late-night comedienne, Chelsea Handler. I started watching Chelsea's show, Chelsea Lately on E! when I was doing late-night feedings with Landen. After watching a few shows, I decided to read her books: My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands, Are You There Vodka, It's Me, Chelsea?, and Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang
I must say that her books are NOT for everyone. You must be able to take her sarcastic and often crude sense of humor. If you're easily offended, I wouldn't recommend reading her books. I enjoyed reading them as they were fun and often times hilarious. Chelsea's crazy, real-life experiences (as she claimed on her show just this week) will leave you in disbelief and a smile on your face. As I was reading I could just hear Chelsea telling the stories, so if you don't know Chelsea from her TV show, you may not get the full effect of these books. If you like Chelsea's show, you'll love her books. If I had to choose a favorite, I think it would be her second book, Are You There Vodka, It's Me, Chelsea. Her new book, Lies that Chelsea Handler Told Me, is released on May 10th. I will definitely be adding it to my collection.
