Does This Beach Make Me Look Fat?
Does This Beach Make Me Look Fat?: True Stories and Confessions | Lisa Scottoline, Francesca Serritella
8 posts | 8 read | 16 to read
The unstoppable, irreverent mother-daughter team presents a new collection of funny stories and true confessions that every woman can relate to. From identity theft to the hazards of bicycling to college reunions and eating on the beach, Lisa and Francesca tackle the quirks, absurdities, and wonders of everyday life with wit and warmth. As Lisa says, "More and more, especially in the summertime when I'm sitting on the beach, I'm learning not to sweat it. To go back to the child that I used to be. To see myself through the loving eyes of my parents. To eat on the beach. And not to worry about whether every little thing makes me look fat. In fact, not to worry at all." So put aside your worries and join Lisa and Francesca as they navigate their way through the crazy world we live in, laughing along the way.

I've never read Scottoline's mysteries but I do enjoy her funny true to life short essays such as the book tagged.

I'm seriously addicted to their books. That is all. But seriously, they continue to make me laugh out loud writing about things that I often identify with and find myself nodding my head to and saying yes! Our dogs, Fitbit love, and dozens of other things! I sure hope these two keep writing together so I can keep listening to them 😁

So boring! I'm used to great humorists such as Laurie Notaro, this felt like it was from my own diary, just a regular chick trying to be funny. I only liked 2 stories in the whole book. Thankfully it was a short read.

A quick, funny read. A lighthearted change of pace if you're in a reading slump.

This was a fun, quick read. All the essays were short, just 3-4 pages each. Many were funny, some were sad, but all were interesting. A nice, summer read.

I have been trying not to buy any new books lately. I have so many unread books on my shelves and on my kindle. When the temptation gets too much, I buy a bookmark instead 😄📚💜

TheBookAddict I have the same problem!!! Have been eyeing the soft kitty bookmark for a while...😆🤓💕📚💕😻 8y
Notafraidofwords Good idea! 8y
SecretLivesOfFictionLovers Omg what an awesome idea! I should do the same lol as I have the same problem! PS: I love the soft kitty bookmark! 8y

Novelnerd88 Awesome idea! Love the Dr. Who bookmark 😀 8y
DivineDiana Now there's a solution for our "affliction". Went to Costco's today for three items. Two books fell in to my cart! 8y
ReadsInTheDark How awesome is that! My problem is that I tend to go digital and therefore I just keep downloading and downloading. Nothing can stop me, LOL! 8y
callunakeep LOVE the Whovian bookmark!! I want one that says "READ you clever boy and remember" ? 8y
Suzze @DivineDiana I hate (love) when that happens. 8y
bookishbunny Loving that soft kitty bookmark! I think I need to adopt this method. I've been really bad since I discovered Bookoutlet. 8y
ReadingMeagan What cute bookmarks! 8y
rynae I add things to my Amazon wish list and it helps. It feels kind of like buying them. 8y
Donna_sBookMinute Me too. I like having the security of knowing I can pluck a title from my shelves (or my phone or tablet) whenever I'm ready to immerse myself in it -- or experience a favorite author's offering. Or I just might want to make quality use of down time. Unapologetic bibliophile. 8y
Laura317 Love them all, but the DW is my favorite. And this weekend is free Doctor Who comic day! Yay!! 8y
LeahBergen I actually have a bookmark problem to go along with my compulsive book-buying. I buy a souvenir one whenever I travel. Hmm... maybe we need a #bookmark photo day?? @Liberty 😃 8y
SheReadsAndWrites I'm trying so hard to plow through books I have and not buy new ones but it's tough! The struggle is real. 😩 8y
PrezBookster Me too!! 8y
Mimi28 I could have gone to see the movie "the secret life of pets" with my mom too many times with the money I spent on books this month. I like the soft kitty bookmark ?? 8y
JPrecht I love them all, but I must know where you got the Dr. Who one! 8y
ShelfSpaceLimited This is a wonderful idea, since I'm currently on a self-imposed buying ban. 😳 it's a struggle 8y
ValerieAndBooks And yet no matter how many bookmarks we have, still end up using random slips of paper...true for me anyway 😊 8y
erzascarletbookgasm I like them all! I collect book marks but I keep using my one favourite bookmark only. 😄 8y
Mariposa_Bookworm I have bags full of bookmarks and still use a Walmart receipt as a bookmark. WOOO Hoooooooo another Doctor Who fan! 10 is my favorite! 8y
ReadingOver50 @JPrecht it is from Barnes and Noble 8y
Lizpixie I love bookmarks! bookdepository.com brings out a different range every year that you get for free when you buy a book, plus I love beading so I make those metal ones with beads and charms. I think I have about twenty or so bookmarks atm.Love the Doctor Who & soft kitty!😍 8y
adverse I am always in need of bookmarks! I'd love to know what happens to them; where do they go? Do they join all the single socks that I have lost while doing the laundry? 🤔 8y
OvyReadz Wooow!!!All the three are Awesome 😍 8y
