The Manayunk Book Club

Please join us on Saturday, July 27, beginning 1pm at Judy's house for a fun filled MBC summer get together! More details to follow. Stay tuned !

Please join us in July at the Spicy Belly (Manayunk) for our discussion of Let's Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir by Jenny Lawson! 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 the #1 New York Times bestseller, 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. Looking forward to seeing many of you in July! Justin
