Books: P.D.James & Mindy Kaling
Aug. 2nd, 2015 11:02 pmDeath Comes to Pemberley by P.D. James
Pride and Prejudice was my only favourite Jane Austen books I read as a high school girl and still in my top ten list. Absolutely loved it. First I hurmpphhed over reading it because well, I was no Austen fan! OMG!?! HOw is that possible?! I know! I was a big Agatha Christie fan. I didn't like these "girly" literature. :P But oh so glad I was made to read this one! And I failed to pick up P.D. James, ever. So, I thought why not?! And picked up Death Comes to Pemberley by P.D.James. I wasn't obviously expecting Austen's style of writing. I don't think one could ever replicate that. So, I liked the book. It did seem to cater to those who didn't read Pride & Prejudice or been 20 years since? I figured because there was some rehash of the original story line. I liked the book. Not sure I would highly recommend it but it was still a nice read. It at least got me thinking to read some of her classics.
Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) by Mindy Kaling
I love her show The Mindy Project. Actually, I hated it in the begining. But I hung on. And grew to love the show. And was very bummed that her show got dropped. And Hulu Plus, here we come just for her show! (well, no. Not competely true. We are just cheap and it's $2 cheaper than Netflix!! ahem!) And I wondered what she was in real life. And was hoping this book would give a glimpse. It was hilarious no doubt. Some places it got me all excited like, "OMG! That's me too!! We could be best friends!!" And at the same time, I wasn't sure what if anything she tried divulging in the book. Kudos and respect to her to keeping her private life, private. But I kind of did get the feeling that she wrote the books because her friends/aquaintances Amy Poehler & Tina Fey wrote books too... And yet, I loved it because it was me in my twenties. Completely - well, what she did reveal! ha! I guess like the show, the book grew on me. I read a sample of her next book and seems a little more matured - maybe more like a book and not a collection of blog posts, which I felt the second half of the book was. And they would have made great fabulous blog posts! Ah but damnit, love her and will read her next book! :P
