LET'S PRETEND THIS NEVER HAPPENED by Jenny Lawson, aka The Bloggess

"Even when I was funny, I wasn't this funny." —Augusten Burroughs, author of Running With Scissors


For fans of Tina Fey and David Sedaris—Internet star Jenny Lawson, aka The Bloggess, makes her literary debut.

Jenny Lawson realized that the most mortifying moments of our lives—the ones we'd like to pretend never happened—are in fact the ones that define us. In Let's Pretend This Never Happened, Lawson takes readers on a hilarious journey recalling her bizarre upbringing in rural Texas, her devastatingly awkward high school years, and her relationship with her long-suffering husband, Victor. Chapters include: "Stanley the Magical, Talking Squirrel"; "A Series of Angry Post-It Notes to My Husband"; "My Vagina Is Fine. Thanks for Asking"; "And Then I Snuck a Dead Cuban Alligator on an Airplane." Pictures with captions (no one would believe these things without proof) accompany the text.

The problem with Jenny's website is that there is no "Events" link that I can find easily. How else am I going to get to see her live and in person? Any ideas? (or am I just not looking hard enough?!)

This is the one of the most entertaining, laugh-out-loud books I have ever read! I'm ordering my "Team Victor" t-shirt today... sorry Jenny!

Got my copy on the 16th and I'm about 1/2 done. It is one of the most astonishingly amusing books I've ever read.

All I can say is thank God for parents like Jenny's who cultivate a spectacular garden of neuroses in their children. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to sit on my front porch laughing like a raving lunatic while reading this book. Way to go Jenny! And Victor, you're a hero.

YAHHH JENNY!
