Yay! You read Are you there vodka? It’s me Chelsea!! And apparently you liked it, 4 stars! I read Wicked also and DID NOT like it. Then I went and saw the musical and it still did not change my feelings about it : ( BLAH! I noticed the only book that got 5 stars was A Million Miles in a Thousand Years, what’s that one about??
Yes, I loved Are You There Vodka! It was hilarious. A Million Miles In A Thousand Years is a Christian non-fiction book about the author editing one of his previous books to be made into a movie. He talks about how to make your life be a better story, and how you should live life rather than just survive it. I love Donald Miller’s style of writing and humor. He’s my most-read author of 2009, and I went to one of his book readings in Orlando and got to meet him.
read em and weep.
