The Tao of Martha: My Year of Living; Or, Why I'm Never Getting All That Glitter Off of the Dog
tbfoot says:
I found this hardcover copy at Dollar Tree recently. From the cover alone, I was drawn in. It looked fun and professional - a woman looking perfectly clean in a messy but beautiful kitchen. Being involved in the party world as a photographer for the past few years, this was a familiar image to me. I thought I knew what to expect from the use of Martha Stewart's name. It was an original concept - she gave herself the task of doing things more like Martha. It was not a how to or helpfu...l book, just a somewhat humorous look at how getting yourself organized and entertaining-ready is not an easy task. There were a few moments when I'd find myself skimming the pages - I almost feel guilty for admitting it, but when she wrote about her dogs, I was bored. This was a fun task that I would love to do on my own, but her version of it left me wanting more.

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. There was quite a bit of internet speak (The phrase “all the feels” does not need to belong in a book. Ever.), but Jen continues to be hilarious and likable. I will always have immense respect for her love of animals, and unapologetic sense of self. This book was a lot less organized than many of the stunt nonfiction I have read, but I still enjoyed it. Her “prepper” stuff got a little insane and borderline-hoarder, but, hey, if it makes her happy.MoreLess
