Yes Please- NS

Hoycie · March 2015

My whole life I was a sporadic SNL viewer and never really appreciated Amy Poehler but holy crap she's hilarious. I'm listening to Yes Please now and I am absolutely in love with her!!

I see an SNL marathon in my future. Well, maybe not the last 40 years because that would take forever, but you know what I mean.

Confession:

Will Ferrell is pretty funny and likable during his time at SNL (from the few skits I have seen). Maybe had I watched him since then I wouldn't hate him so much.

I loved this book so much. I saw someone describe it as "the self-help book I didn't know I needed" and that's exactly how I felt about it. So funny and smart.

That sounds about right.

@Hoycie, have you not watched Parks & Recreation? If you haven't, you must! One can't watch that and not worship Amy Poehler. (Just don't give up after the first season -- it doesn't hit its stride until season 2.)

No, I haven't but I have added it to my list!

Leslie Knope is my hero, and the best friend we all deserve. *sigh* I love her so much.

This book is sitting on my desk. It's third in line behind two e-book checkouts I have but only because the e-books have a shorter checkout time. I'm looking forward to it.

Word. I (unintentionally) started watching with Season 2 and didn't know it wasn't the series opener. It didn't feel like anything was missing really, so I've never gone back to season 1. I love everything about Parks and Recreation. The whole cast with Amy at the helm is so funny.

I rarely ever watched SNL and still haven't gotten around to Parks either, but this book was amazing. Halfway through I almost bought the audiobook just to hear it in her voice!

I've been on hold for this book forever! Still 40 people ahead of me.

I listened to this, and while I already loved Amy Poehler, this made me love her even more. I love how candid she is, and she seems like someone I'd want to hang out with.

Hoycie · March 2015

I'm so happy I chose to listen to this book rather than read it. Having Amy narrate it gives it that something extra special.

I'm pushing Parks & Recreation up on my list!

The audio was so so good. The honesty was awesome and the cameos were fantastic.

This. I'm not a huge Amy Poehler fan. It's not that I dislike her, I never got into Parks and Rec and liked most of her SNL skits ok, so I was really surprised with how much I loved listening to this audiobook.

And eat waffles with @caseyandlizzie @hoycie

(This will make more sense after you watch Parks and Rec.)

I'm sure the audio is fantastic, but I have to tell you guys how BEAUTIFUL the actual book is! Reading it was a fun experience - thick, glossy pages, gorgeous endpapers, fun color photos. It was fun book to read.

And the best author photo of all time:

@Young_Love thank you for this! I'm debating whether to read the book first (I got it for Christmas) or listen to the audiobook.

It is seriously stunning! And, also an effective tool if you get mugged because it's a heavy thing!
