In Why Not Me?,
Kaling shares her ongoing journey to find contentment and excitement in
her adult life, whether it’s falling in love at work, seeking new
friendships in lonely places, attempting to be the first person in
history to lose weight without any behavior modification whatsoever, or
most important, believing that you have a place in Hollywood when you’re
constantly reminded that no one looks like you.
(...)
Mindy turns the anxieties, the glamour, and the
celebrations of her second coming-of-age into a laugh-out-loud funny
collection of essays that anyone who’s ever been at a turning point in
their life or career can relate to. And those who’ve never been at a
turning point can skip to the parts where she talks about meeting
Bradley Cooper.

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.
(Includes
Special, Never-Before-Solicited Opinions on Breastfeeding, Princesses,
Photoshop, the Electoral Process, and Italian Rum Cake!)
(Synopsis from Goodreads)
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. =)

That Kevin
Smith? The guy who did “Clerks” a million years ago? Didn’t they bounce
his fat ass off a plane once? What could you possibly learn from the
director of “Cop Out”? How about this: he changed filmmaking forever
when he was twenty-three, and since then, he’s done whatever the hell he
wants. He makes movies, writes comics, owns a store, and now he’s built
a podcasting empire with his friends and family, including a wife who’s
way out of his league. So here’s some tough shit: Kevin Smith has
cracked the code. Or, he’s just cracked.
Tough Sh*t is the dirty business that Kevin has been digesting for 41 years and now, he’s ready to put it in your
hands. Smear this shit all over yourself, because this is your
blueprint (or brownprint) for success. Kev takes you through some big
moments in his life to help you live your days in as Gretzky a fashion as you can: going where the puck is gonna
be. Read all about how a zero like Smith managed to make ten movies
with no discernible talent, and how when he had everything he thought
he’d ever want, he decided to blow up his own career. Along the way, Kev
shares stories about folks who inspired him (like George Carlin), folks
who befuddled him (like Bruce Willis), and folks who let him jerk off
onto their legs (like his beloved wife, Jen). So make this your daily
reader. Hell, read it on the toilet if you want. Just make sure you grab
the bowl and push, because you’re about to take one Tough Sh*t
