HOW (NOT) TO BE A DOMESTIC GODDESS by Deborah Ross


Award winning columnist, Deborah Ross, has a club, and I desperately want to be a member.
She calls her organization the NDGC (GB)… that is the Non-Domestic Goddess Club of Great Britain.







Assuming that you can get motivated enough to attend a meeting (a true Non-Domestic Goddess will shiver at this point at the thought of a meeting), you will be welcomed with a cup of Nescafe’ made from tap water and a store bought cake (if anyone bothered to buy one).






Fortunately for U.S. readers, Ms. Ross’ delightful anti-Martha Stewart approach to home making has crossed the shores and is now available:






How Not to be a Domestic Goddess: ...always go to bed on an argument






One could say that the Non-Domestic Goddess motto is encompassed in one simple statement, “Nature abhors a vacuum and so do we.”






Hey, I’m all for that! And apparently there are plenty of other women who agree.









I brought my copy of How not to be a Domestic Goddess to the doctor’s waiting room and had to fight my way out of a horde of Non-Domestic Goddess wannabes trying to pry the book from my hands.






Well, okay that really didn’t happen.






No one who aspires to be a true Non-Domestic Goddess would dare to make such a concentrated effort to obtain a “How To’ book on anything…






But, the office nurse thought the title was funny and told me so.






And I agreed with her.









The title is great and the book is even better.






ENJOY!

SILENT BUT DEADLY by Mark Tatulli


If you ever have had the experience of being caught off guard with the most hilarious moment and laughing so hard that you blew grape juice (or whatever you were drinking) through your nose , I can guarantee you that you will have a comparable repeat laughter outburst with Silent But Deadly: Another Lio Collection .

So…

You have been warned.

No fluids (or Cocoa Puffs) while reading this book.

Artist, Mark Tatulli, creates a silent world filled with the dark imagination of a little boy, Liō; a child that happens to love his pet squid, monsters, and a crabby little girl named Eva.

Tatulli’s creation is wonderfully original, yet reflects some of the bizarre humor of my personal favorites like: Gary Larson, Berkeley Breathed , and Charles Addams .

Although I am usually very generous about sharing books from my personal library, Silent But Deadly: Another Lio Collection, is staying right here with me.

Nope…

you can’t have my copy,

and I’ll send an undead bunny after you if you try to take it! Photobucket
