Yay! The New Nasty Woman Datebook is here!

The reviewer below is a misogynist Trump Troll masquerading as a serious reviewer. If it's "insulting" or "sad" to know, for example, that Miss Babe Didrikson pitched a full inning for the Philadelphia Athletics against the Brooklyn Dodgers on March 6, 1934; or that April 27th is Arbor Day, with the accompanying fun fact that a large tree provides a day's worth of oxygen for up to 4 people, then by all means, stay away from this calendar. Like the datebook or don't like it, who cares, but if you actually penetrate the cover, it is clear that your "review" makes absolutely no sense.

Loved my 2017 Nasty Woman Datebook. Love this one.

I've read all four of Jen Lancaster's previous books and really loved the first two, but, by the time that I got to her third  and fourth ones, I felt like they weren't as funny as her first two had been.  Since I was able to get an advanced copy of Lancaster's new book, though, I couldn't pass by this opportunity -- and I have to say that this is great fun and feels fresh!  Jen is back to her hysterical antics in this new book, and I couldn't put it down once I started it.

The book opens with Candace Bushnell (writer of _Sex and the Series_) interviewing Jen and mentioning something about Baudelaire.  Jen realizes that she has no idea who Baudelaire is since she's spent so much time in front of the TV (watching reality shows) lately and not as much time "broadening her horizons," as she puts it.  The result of this realization?  Jen's quest to "discover it not being a dumb ass is the new black" (the sub-title of the book).

If you're familiar with Jen's previous books, you'll be happy to see that she still gets into her usual escapades with her familiar cast of characters -- patient husband Fletch, personal trainer Barbie, writer friend Stacey, and her personal menagerie of dogs and cats.  Also, I'm not familiar with many of the reality TV show references that pop up in the book (I'm not much of a TV watcher), but still found the humor to be fun, and found myself laughing out loud throughout the book.

I think you'll find this book funny if you're in the same age group as Jen:  late-thirties and early- to mid-forties.  As a child of the '80's, I found her references to things like Jon Hughes movies (especially the chapter about a party where discussion of Ryan Jake, a character from the film _Sixteen Candles_, comes up) to be funny and nostalgic.  You also don't need to have read any of her other books to enjoy this one since this new one will still give you a strong sense of Jen's personality.

If you need a good laugh and a fun read, I definitely recommend Lancaster's new book!

After a series of failed relationships, I lost hope of getting the boyfriend of my dreams. And then I chanced upon a book screaming - Be the best online BITCH - Advice from a flamboyant man! I wondered part-surprised part-astounded whether what I saw was indeed what I saw. Yes, this was an online dating book guide that sold for a little over $200 plus shipping. I thought - Heck, let's give the book and Prentice Prefontaine (the author) a chance.

I went ahead, bought book, got it delivered and skimmed through the contents and was pleased with my purchase! Yes - this book is a huge treasure for love lost women like me, in New York, Orleans, Montreal, Sydney or just about any place in the world, looking for a guy online.

Before you think I'm one of those affiliate marketers about to sell you the book, let me tell you - I hate that game. Moreover, I hate writing reviews online and don't trust half of those I read. But this product filled me with such delight and positivity that I decided it was sheer unfriendliness on my part to not honor this MAN with a proper review. So, here goes - my maiden review about a product I'm thrilled to bits about -

The Pros: It's got a catchy writing style, loads of good and well thought over advice from a guy's perspective (and he is flamboyant alright). The wife photo shoot deserved to take the cake and my girl friends loved the tips Prentice writes about snatching the right guy online before the others come (yes, it is a rat race there too).

The Cons: You cannot help annoyed at the `Bitch' clich - okay, the title is catchy. But hello? We've already bought your book - we don't need to (and like) being called BITCH a hundred times through the narrative. Moreover, the writer does appear chauvinistic (the wife photo shoot, for instance) in parts, and there are blotchy narrations in the text.

What I loved most in the book was how Prentice spoke at length about finding the Dudes with Husband Potential and how he asked us women not to go overboard and plastic impressing men online. Right! Men love it real - this is something that is going to get me a guy soon, I have `that' instinct - and I've followed the advice doled out in the book meticulously and know I'd land up a date real soon - online or offline!

Should you buy the book? I'd say yes! If you are a woman who wants to make the most of your online escapades, this book is a gold mine. You are sure to enjoy the advice and Prentice makes sure he doesn't preach so granted, you won't yawn!

Hi five Prentice - for the awesome product!

AWESOME! Every thing this woman writes is kiss ass! So there's never a need to ask if she wrote it, you should read it!

This is a great book for all women who date to read, whatever the age.  I especially was intrigued by the chapters about vetting dates by watching their behavior on early dates, and asking questions that might elucidate character traits to watch out for, both positive and negative.

I recommend this book highly!!  Fun, interesting, quick read.

My Astrocal Moon Diary 2017 daily book arrived and I'm absolutely thrilled! As soon as I looked through it, I quickly ordered a 2nd for my daughter before they sold all out. I wrote out a very long and descriptive review but got inturupted and lost it :-/ so I'll make this shorter and to the point! HURRAY!!! This day book is outstanding in everyway you could want! Easy to use, informative, well planned out, with good spacing, for your handwritten, personal daily notes or reminders. It's filled with great articles and beautiful artworks! And comes with easy to use time conversion charts! It has everything and and so much more! I've been hunting and waiting for years for just ' this daily MOON calendar book'. If you're like me and have been just getting by, year after year, with the very generalized daily Witch calendar notebooks, look no further! The others are okay but yet, just missing so much... And Yes they may cost a couple of dollars less, but do yourself a big favor and spend the extra couple bucks. You won't be disappointed!!! I finally found it and I'll never settle for the plain old generalized version of a day book again. No more bouncing from this almamac to that calendar to another source, to find the info and times etc and then to yet another book for the space to write my notes in. Its all here, at my fingertips, and all in one, well thought out, beautifully put together, sprial bound book. I'll  take 1 daily book that has it all, with original artwork to boot, over juggling my usual 3 to 4 separate calenders.  Both books arrived, very well packaged in a protected sleeve and very promptly too! I'm just bursting with excitement! Thank You... Thank You... Thank You!!!

I love, love, love, LOVE this book! i have spent my Saturday just re-reading the parts that I want to re-live and savor today. The plot is wonderful, the characters believable and the villain was evil in a most delicious manner! I really like hating her! Keep writing this steamy stuff with good stories and likeable and unlikeable characters, please!

I found this calendar at the mall by accident... I thought, "What the heck is THIS?!" and I'm telling you - a few pictures later... I was in a mini fit of hysterics. (oh my.. yes, that was me..)  This dog is so stinkin' cute I can't stand it.
I'll be adding the Mr. Winkle books to my Wish List soon... Oh my goodness.  If you need a very cute & funny calendar... it's gotta be this one.  Trust me on this one. =0)

I love this book!  The author (Christie Mellor) must have known that I needed a boost being of the middle aged persuasion.  It's funny, insightful, intelligent, cool, well written and I'm going to actually USE some of her ideas.  I can't wait to mix up a martini from her recipe as well as create the perfect hue of red lipstick.  I can't wait until she writes the next one.  She should be on Oprah!  I would love to see her talk about her ideas.

Watch out Jane Green and Helen Fielding; there is a new novelist from your side of the pond!  I know Jane Green left England to live in Connecticut, USA, but; her first batch of books ring true to Heather Hills writing style. English writers that stick to their British adjectives, verbs and nouns, make a story so much more fantastic to read, at least for me.  Solely, because I find things like sod-off more entertaining than our term for said statementthat I cannot write about without being bleeped!
The New Mrs. D was so much fun and quick-witted to read.there was hardly a page in this novel that I did not have laugh out loud or at least giggly moments.  This is my Call Sign to a great review, and recommendation for others to read this book.
Bernice and David Dando get married after being together for six years.  They are on the fourth day of their honeymoon in Greece, and have not had sex yet!  Bernice, nicknamed Binnie by her husband, have registered for various excursions from artwork to scuba diving while on their honeymoon.
Binnie discovers that her husband is still looking at porn, as she is dressing in serious Sex-David-Up lingerie; and flash forward, she seems to be on her way to a second divorce. After every excuse he can throw at her to explain is wonton need for pornshe kicks him out.  Will she go back to England, or stay in Greece to assert her independence.  Can she get through this muddled part of her life with any dignity?  How long will she have to hide behind cloudy Facebook posts, etc.?
This book is full of humor, humility, and self-love being unearthed.  Such a fun way to suggest, that we all may need a Honeymoon for One!
My flip-flop love will never be the same.  Who knew they could be weapons of mass destruction, or at least can be used as an attempt of mass destruction.
Perfect Beach Bag Book!

I am two chapters into this book,and I love it!!! I have read so many dating books with so many ideas, but this one actually makes sense!  It s broken into three main parts; find the guy, get the guy, keep the guy.  Pretty much exactly what I'm looking to do!!!! Fresh out of a long term relationship (guess I need to read keep the guy!) I am now working on filling the first funnel and I am loving his advice! I also love the clips that you have access to with the book! It's honesty just the best!! Get it!!! And if you're in OC, you can join my book club! We're so excited!!!

I am so thrilled with my new weekly planner.  I have made a commitment to get rid of all the notes I leave myself and now keep a planner of all the things I need to remember and/or do.  Each page is the full week  Monday thru Sunday with allotted spaces for each day. I keep it on my kitchen table so I can refer to it or add something to it when I think of it.  So far it's working out great for me!!
Also on the opposite page of the week there is a picture to color (which is a new hobby) and I have a week to finish it!
It does have plenty of space for each days activities and reminders.

This is the sickest, most disturbing, most obscene book upon which I have ever stumbled, and is the most offensive birthday gift I have ever received.

It's perfect.  I love it!

All kidding aside, this is a book very much about what it says it is about.  The smells inside include fesces, vomit, halitosis, the gas we pass ("Your farts aren't your own!  Your large intestine is full of millions of microscopic bacteria that live inside you... their tiny farts add up until... you produce a bottom burp yourself!"), and the book is full of fabulously scientific hilarity - all of it gross, of course.

Not for the faint of heart (or smell), but it's one heck of a conversation starter if you leave it out in the open.  My friend knew what he was doing when he bought this gem for my birthday.
