Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill @
Breaking the Spine. We post about all the books we are waiting to be published.
My pick this weeks is
Is Everybody Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns)
by Mindy Kaling.
Per Amazon:
Comedy's fastest-rising star takes to the page in a book of essays, personal anecdotes, and impassioned pleas.
Multi-hyphenate Mindy Kaling is an Emmy-nominated writer, the actress famous for playing the beloved Kelly Kapoor on The Office,
and the author of one of Twitter's most popular and quoted feeds. She
is a keen and witty observer of life, romance, and pop culture, whom the
New York Times recently called "an entirely original and of-the-moment"
performer and Entertainment Weekly deemed “one of the ten funniest actresses in Hollywood.”
In Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?,
Mindy shares her observations, fears, and opinions about a wide-ranging
list of the topics she thinks about the most: from her favorite types
of guys (including Sherlock Holmes, NBA players, Aaron Sorkin
characters, and 19th-century fictional hunks) to life in the Office
writers' room to her leisure pursuit of dieting (“I don’t travel, speak
other languages, do crafts, or enjoy sports, but I love reading about
new diets”) and how much she loves romantic comedies. Loaded with
personal stories and laugh-out-loud philosophies, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? is a must-read by one of the most original comedic voices working today.
I follow Mindy on Twitter and love her work. I can't wait. Luckily, there's a
27 page excerpt on her publisher's website.
I love Mindy Kaling. I think she is hilarious. I have not seeen this book before- thanks for posting about it. It looks like it would be a fun read.
