Talking as Fast as I Can Lauren Graham




Lauren Graham is well known for her role as Lorelai Gilmore on Gilmore Girls. Although she starred and guess starred in many other shows, I most remember her as Lorelai Gilmore. I remember admiring Lorelai and thinking what an awesome mother she was to Rory aka Lorelai the third. Also  how strong Lorelai had to be in order to leave her parents home and raise Rory on her own without anything. For this character alone, is the reason I continue to follow Lauren and thank the lord I did or otherwise I would have not found this book "Talking as Fast as I can".  (Ps Sorry Lauren Graham for all the grammar Errors, if you ever read this.)


"Talking as Fast as I can" is now on my absolute favorites list of books because Lauren truly is a Lorelai in real life, minus the whole single mother aspect. As you read this book you will notice how much of Lauren as a person is put into Lorelai as a character. Lauren is funny, and bluntly honest about the role acting has played in her life. She makes a point of talking about being a female and how sexism in hollywood. She has a chapter where she points out that we as females can be happy about being single and love it because only when we love it will we find ourselves seeing more happy relationships in our lives. She also has a beautiful tribute to the Late Ms Carrie Fisher and her life as an amazing writer. She talks about the ending cliffhanger to Gilmore Girls revival without mentioning the last four words and how much those words are cliffhangers. She just really observes and gives her best opinions of life while being so funny.

When I first heard about this book, I thought oh Lauren Graham has written her autobiography and it will be a great read because I am a fan. I put her in the fan bias category, that I would say most autobiographies by famous people achieved. You know the category of I will love this because I am already a fan of theirs.But after reading this book, thats not the category for this book anymore. I rated this book five out of five stars because I will reread this book over and over again to learn more from Lauren and the lessons of life she has laid out for us. This is that kind of book where today you might feel one way but if you read it five years from now you might understand something she wrote better or differently, and for that reason I love this book. It is positively well written, very short for only 204 pages long( please Lauren if you ever read this, write a longer book next time. I love your lessons and need more) and wonderful for women who loving reading things on Feminism. While this book is not about the subject feminism, it does discuss it in the most simplest way which is awesome. I can't say enough about how much I love and would recommend this book to anyone


I hope you liked this review and I planned on writing more books reviews. As always I will have the link to this book and the author's social media along with my links. Please feel free to follow and subscribe to my links along with this Blog. Hope you have an awesome Gilmore Girl day.

SPLINTERED SERIES BY AG HOWARD

Splintered is a modern retelling of Alice In Wonderland. The summary of the story says that Alyssa Gardner is the great great great granddaughter of “Thee” Alice Liddell who met Lewis Carroll, and shared her story, then goes mad. After reading that Summary who would not want to read this book and see if Alyssa really is as Mad as the rest of her family? I know I sure did. So I pick up the first book, bought it home and wait till I had time to read it. I wasn’t sure I was going to even like it although I did like the summary. So finally I decided to read the book and here I am to share this wonderful review with you. On to the story or better yet off to the madness.

As I stated above, Alyssa wants to know why the women in her family, starting with her great great great grandmother Alice, has gone mad. Well, not just mad but absolutely bonkers, since Alice venture down the rabbit hole. So she ends up visiting her mom, who is actually in a mental Institution and finds out through her mom, about this supposed curse of the Liddell women bloodline. After the visit with her mother takes a disastrous turn, Allie ends up at home and finds more clues to the supposed curse. The curse leads Allie aka Alyssa to Wonderland and off to the real adventure waiting for her and her family legacy. As Allie enters Wonderland, she finds out her family real legacy and the reason it has been hidden for so long. But of course darling I can’t tell you that truth, it's up to you to go read Allie book and find the Legacy's truth. 


As for the book, it was an excellent read, I could not put it done. I devoured this series, in fact, I finish the entire series within a week. I would have finished it sooner if I had all of the books but I had to buy the last two and wait. I would recommend this series to anyone and everyone who wants a fresh retelling on an old fairy tale. These books were as exciting to read as the original two books by Lewis Carroll. They had the same sense of madness throughout them that you would find in Carroll’s book except with a more of Tim Burton imagination and description tone to them. They reminded me a lot of Alice In Wonderland meets Corpse Bride meets Nightmare before Christmas mix with a lot bit of Fairy dust. So if you love Tim Burton, you will for sure love these books and want to read them.The major thing that I did want to note is that I notice the first book is about Alyssa entire journey into Wonderland, and the other two books more or less show the actions and opinions of everyone else around her. So you get to see the journey through all of the main characters in a way. I give the entire series a five out of five stars. I definitely say you should buy these books and read them like right now. I can not wait for AG Howard next book Rose Blood about the phantom of the Opera. Below will be listed all links and I hope you find this Review helpful. Now I am off to find six impossible things to believe in before my next review on this amazing series. 

Tea, Love, and Books
