Before Liz Lemon,
before "Weekend Update," before "Sarah Palin," Tina Fey was just a young
girl with a dream: a recurring stress dream that she was being chased
through a local airport by her middle-school gym teacher. She also had a
dream that one day she would be a comedian on TV.
She has seen both these dreams come true.
At last, Tina Fey's story can be told. From her youthful days as a vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live;
from her passionately halfhearted pursuit of physical beauty to her
life as a mother eating things off the floor; from her one-sided college
romance to her nearly fatal honeymoon—from the beginning of this
paragraph to this final sentence.
Tina Fey reveals all, and proves what we've all suspected: you're no one until someone calls you bossy.

Special, Never-Before-Solicited Opinions on Breastfeeding, Princesses,
Photoshop, the Electoral Process, and Italian Rum Cake!)

If I said I don't like Tina Fey, that would be a freaking outright lie! I love this woman with all my heart and listening to her read her book, Bossypants made me sooooo happy the whole time.
I finished it awhile ago and totally thought I put up a review for it and then I check on here and see it's not so!
Bossypants is exactly what you want in a memoir: life lessons, awesome anecdotes, how to survive fires on a cruise boat, and how to be awesome (She doesn't explain that last one, the whole book is basically that because she is. Can you tell yet that I'm a Tina Fey fangirl? Can you?) She even goes into that whole Sarah Palin thing that happened. Which I found very enlightening!
I would go on about this book, but I'd be basically reciting the book verbatum. So I will leave you saying get the book (Audio version is awesome because she reads it to you!!!!) and dive in.
Or I could just fill this whole post with a TON of Tina Fey = Love. =)

This was supposed to be the best summer of Maggie's life. Now it's the one she'd do anything to forget.
Maggie
remembers hanging out at the gorge with her closest friends after a
blowout party. She remembers climbing the trail with her perfect
boyfriend, Joey. She remembers that last kiss, soft, lingering, and
meant to reassure her. So why can't she remember what happened in the
moment before they were supposed to dive? Why was she left cowering at
the top of the cliff, while Joey floated in the water below-dead?
As
Maggie's memories return in snatches, nothing seems to make sense. Why
was Joey acting so strangely at the party? Where did he go after taking
her home? And if Joey was keeping these secrets, what else was he
hiding?
The latest novel from the author of "The Tension of
Opposites," "One Moment" is a mysterious, searing look at how an instant

Tony Hooper stands in
shadow across the street, one amongst many in the crowd of
curiosity-hounds gathered to watch a monster's release. Seventeen years
after Mitchell Norton, "the devil," terrorized Algonquin, Illinois on a
spree of kidnapping, torture and murder, the authorities release the
butcher from psychiatric prison.
Tony longs to charge across the
street to destroy Norton—no remorse—as if stepping on a cockroach. Only
sheer force of will prevents his doing so.
"The devil" walks the world again. What shall Tony do about it? Aye, what indeed.
After
all, this is what Tony does. It's who he is. "The devil" himself long
ago made Tony into this hunter of monsters. What a sweet twist of fate
this is, that he may still, finally, administer justice.
Will FBI Special Agent Linda Monroe stop him? She owes him her life, so how can she possibly put an end to his?
Tony
Hooper and Mitchell Norton battle for supremacy, with law enforcement
always a step away, in this story of justice and vengeance, evil and
redemption, fear and courage, love and loss.
