Congratulation!
So deserved!!!
So happy for you!!!!!
And some more of these !!!!!!!!! just for the hell of it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think you’re the only person who’s even the slightest bit surprised. The rest of us are calmly celebrating, smug in our knew-it-all-alongness. Congrats!
Well now you can claim to be a number one best selling author.
You’re SPECIAL!
Also, I got my copy in the mail yesterday. SQUEEEEEE! I’d come to a book signing but it was a reeaallllllyyyyy long drive. 13 hours was the closest I saw.
I was going to have you sign my boobs tonight, because I bought the Kindle version of your book and I left the Kindle at home accidentally. But now my boobs aren’t worthy.
So excited for you!
Oh my God! I’m so excited for you that I teared up a little! Of course, it could be the pregnancy hormones coursing through my body, but I think it’s mostly because I’m just so happy for you!
You should totally get a wallet-size version made and laminate it to carry it around in your pocket all the time. It’d be way more useful than the little laminated, pocket-size diplomas they gave my class when we graduated from high school. Still not sure what those were for…it’s not like I’ve ever needed to provide proof on the spot that I graduated from a little school in East Texas.
Sorry, off topic (I’m blaming the pregnancy again for my wandering baby brain)…Congratulations!!!!
Yay you! I checked your Amazon ranking yesterday, out of sheer curiosity, and saw you were #28 out of the entire books category. I figured, with those numbers, you’d make some bestseller list or another.
Congrats! It’s an awesome book and you should feel proud. π
I’m reading it right now and the fact that I wish my dad had thrown a bobcat at my fiance is a testament to your storytelling. Or, actually, to the fact that I don’t have a fiance but the last guy I dated was a douch and deserved to have a bobcat thrown on him.
Anyway, not surprised at all. Rock on, sister friend!
JUST finished reading my copy and was so disappointed that it was over. You are so fantastically random and inspiring all at the same time. The first page I go to when I get home at night is yours in anticipation of whatever new adventure/mishap you’ve gotten yourself into. Honestly not surprised your book is on top. Congratulations!
I just finished the Audiobook and now I must INSIST that everyone who bought the book (I got both) go buy the audiobook too. The bonus chapter and outtakes are sooooo worth it. … Not to mention listening to the words in your own voice.
You are awesome! Congratulations to a wonderful lady!
That’s the best news ever and I truly feel so happy for you. I would feel happy for me if people would read my story about pork chops. I was bawling my eyes out at the end, because I miss my stepdad.
I’m sure that at least 100 people have said this by now but…this makes me FURIOUSLY happy. And not surprised in the least. Even though I’m probably 10 years older than you, would you consent to be the voice of my generation? Because you are.
OMG that’s so exciting. I definitely did a happy dance when mine came in the mail on Monday. I also may have dreamed that you came to my office for a book signing, but I think that’s just because it was something fun to think about instead of the 20 events we had going on that week at work. Or maybe I’m crazy. Either way, so excited about the book and apparently event planning even in my dreams . . .
I wanted to write something really pithy so that you might acknowledge my presence, but all that comes to mind is a genuine “we are all so proud of you”. I have loved reading your book ( and since I was a VP in HR, you can just imagine which part was my favorite)!
I think this means I have bought a NYT bestseller for the first time in my entire life. It just arrived at my door yesterday and I can’t wait to read it!
Awesome. Amazing! And totally weird because I was just searching around for where your book was on the bestseller list (cause I knew it had to be up there) when this came through on Twitter.
I cannot think of anyone more deserving. All those years of procrastinating this paid off!
So furiously happy for you π I originally bought it on my Kindle, then I went out and bought a hard copy because my best friend can’t afford it and she needs to read it π you deserve this so much!!!!
That’s amazing and exciting! But… I notice the date in the corner of the screenshot is May 6, 2012. Are you time travelling again? Didn’t I tell you that wreaks havoc on your digestive system? π
Just finished the book ten minutes ago. Fabulous and hilarious! Definitely not a book to read when you’re at lunch alone in a restaurant. People will look at you strangely as you smile and quietly laugh to yourself.
Weasels! It’s all the dead weasels buying the book! They are unjustly discriminated against when trying to shop at their local bookstores, but these critters can point & click on Amazon.com like nobody’s business.
Congrats to The Bloggess! You are #1, and weasels everywhere are thankful that you’ve shown them that even though they are dead varmints, they can still dress up in spiffy clothing. It’s a win-win!
WOW. Ain’t that something SPECTACULAR. Congratulations to you!!! And I’m going to go buy a copy now (cause it seems like maybe it might be good or something?) I don’t know. Off to Barnes. Bye.
YAAAAYYYYY!!!! That’s SO SO cool. Like, on a scale of one to ten – about a trillion billion. You deserve it, truly. Are you running around the place, bump chesting and high fiving everyone you meet?
It’s not surprising with all the wonderful energy you’ve put out into the world, that some of it would find its way back to you! You deserve this! Congrats!
Because you’re fantastic, and so is the book! I finished it a few days ago, and I’ve been pestering everyone I know to read it as well. I would love to buy your second book, when can you get it to press, please?
Also.. now that you are #1, why not come to some states not bordered by oceans? The Tattered Cover in Denver is a rocking bookshop. And you can sign Oscar, the 60+ yr old deer head who doubles as our holiday tree!
Congratulaions, Jenny! You certainly deserve it. Seriously dude, that is the funniest book that I’ve ever read (but I did cry when Barnaby Jones died).
So I bought your book yesterday because your blog makes me laugh out loud and your book isn’t letting me down either. You go girl! Congrats on the number 1 spot!
Congratulations! I hope it’s everything you ever dreamed of. *raises a glass of good champagne in toast*
Also, towels. Victor must buy you lots and lots of towels.
So incredibly excited for you. I’m knee deep in your book now and loving every minute. This is well deserved! Thanks for bringing so much hilarity and general awesomeness to the lives of all your fans. You, Jenny Lawson, are amazing.
Living the dream, baby. Living the fucking DREAM. Mazel tov! Loved every pixel of the e-book, now I might have to get the audio version since someone above mentioned “bonus chapter.” Yes please.
I’m listening to the audiobook version – had to pull off the side of the road during the diaper in the swimming pool chapter. Could not stop laughing. No, seriously. I could not stop laughing.
p.s. You’ve made me a better swearer.
p.p.s. Thanks.
Our fifteenth anniversary is coming up this year. My husband says he will LET me buy towels. Hee. I still bought a chicken on a stick to put in our front yard. Just to warn him.
Congrats the books is Fab-u-lous!!!!!!
Awesome! We just bought the Nook edition yesterday, and I’ve been reading it to my wife – when I’m able to speak, that is – there are parts that I’ve been laughing too hard to read out loud. π
We’re only about halfway through so far. Best book I’ve read in a while – well done, and well deserved!
My copy just arrived today in the mail (the pre-order shipping was a bit slow). I already slapped my signed bookplate inside of the book and love it so far! β€ Thanks for what will be a great read.
Well duh, woman! Give love to receive love, and you give a helluva a lot of love to your followers!! We are thrilled and #furiouslyhappy for you!!!! π
Mine just came in the mail, Jenny! Congratulations! I have had three friends (all unrelated contextually) talk about this book and how excited they were! I cannot WAIT to start reading this!
YAY! I knew you could do it. I made my family buy at least two copies. So does that make me a best selling author by proxy? I think so. You’re welcome.
Well deserved! I just finished the book and I have to say I don’t think I’ve laughed that hard in years! (Which is kind of sad, if you think about it – so I won’t!)
Congratulations! And even though I don’t know you personally, I’m still so very happy for you. You seem nice, and like we could be good friends.
Does that sound weird? Because I think it might sound weird.
That is WONDERFUL!!! And so well deserved!!! Your sense of humor and timing is incredible, your stories are fabulous, and you have MAD SKILLS with putting it all on paper/on screen!
I’m so glad that you are being recognized for your hard work and for your contributions to workplace reprimands, subway, bus and airplane stares, tardiness and hooky-ism everywhere, peed pants, marital squabbles over bedquakes, and injuries sustained while laughing by hundreds of thousands of loyal fans and new readers!! Kudos and many congratulations!!!
A woman on twitter bought your book and they sent her the audio version instead. She wanted the book so she’s sending me the audio version and buying another book.
OBVIOUSLY she’s a giant fan of yours who is luckily a fan of mine.
I was listening to the audio-book when I found this! Congratulations!!!!
Nathan Fillion HAS TO pose with twine now!
Canada is still waiting to meet you!!!
You completely deserve this. I just finished your book today and it was HYSTERICAL. I seriously snorted through the whole book, causing my husband to shoot me dirty looks. Yours is a rare (and fun) talent.
Congratulations Jenny!!! You deserve every bit of this rainbows and lollipops kind of good news. I’m doing the happy dance over here for you. Keep this shit up!
Jenny, you have NO IDEA how amazing and inspirational you are. It was because of YOUR writing of your struggle with depression and anxiety I finally got the courage to get treatment for my own depression/anxiety issues. I have been getting counseling and medication now for about 3 months, and it has made all the difference in the world.
You are an absolutely incredible — like Mother Teresa, only better.
PS My husband says to tell Victor, “I feel your pain dude.”
PPS I know you will back me on this, if I say a man who truly loves his family will buy grenade launchers to protect from the zombie apocolypse, right? I mean the CDC has a page on it. This shit is real, people!
PPPS Oh yeah your book was totally awesome and I have Facebooked it, Pinned it, and shoved it in all my friends faces telling them they must read it. Now.
I can’t afford to buy a copy right this second, but I am in the library queue to get it, and there are FIVE people left ahead of me. I have never checked the status of my library account so damn often.
While I’m a fast reader, I do usually try to savor new books over a few day time span.
Not yours! I flew through it (reading aloud to a friend while we were on a road trip, mind you) over the weekend and you literally had us laughing our asses off. We had to pull over at one point because we couldn’t see through the tears. Just when I’d start thinking “Okay, this is exaggerated,” you’d share a picture and I’d lose my shit again.
TEARS!
Absolutely the best book I’ve read yet this year.
Congratulations on a spot on that list that’s well-deserved, Jenny!

Congrats! That’s so great. I’m listening to it right now on audio (just started this morning), and haven’t done anything but pin things on Pinterest, and clean out my email and computer files, just so I could have an excuse to sit at the computer and listen. I’m laughing non-stop!!
So happy for you, but I’m not surprised in the least. I tried to make your book last, but I read it much to quickly and was sad when it was over. So I read it again. Then I bought a copy to give to my Mom for Mother’s Day because I love her that much. Way to Go Jenny!
Eeeee!!!! Way to go, Jenny! (And also, just got through the Jenkins chapter on the train on the way home and everyone in that car thinks I’m crazy because I couldn’t stop laughing. Now I have to change train cars.)
I started listening to the audio book today, and I was laughing out loud all day long. It is the fnniest book I have ever read. Thank you for writing it. It is great!!! Everyone needs to read this book, and I love all the sound effects in the audio book, but I may also buy the paper back just to see the photos! π
CONGRATULATIONS!! Now you have documentable proof of how truly amazing and gifted you are! Thank you for all the laughs online as well as the ones I enjoyed in your book!! π
And that is EXACTLY what I wish I would have said to you when I met you at the book reading/signing in San Francisco instead of the crazy babble about how your book was a parenting tool because when my son thought I was crazy or weird I could hand it to him so he could see that I wasn’t. WHICH CAME OUT COMPLETELY WRONG. What I meant was he could read some of the crazy situations that you had been through and realize that what he has had to deal with is pretty tame. Sorry that came out weird. I babble when I’m nervous….which I’m sure you understand. π
What a second, that list is from May 6th, 2012, that’s the future! So that may not happen. Because if there’s one thing that watching Doctor Who has taught me is that the future is unwritten. It also answers some questions. Mainly does Jenny Lawson have a time machine? Answer: Yes.
Congratulations! You so deserve it! Thank you for making us laugh, cry and open our wallets to those in need!
So are you going to build out a fantastic spacious closet to hide in when you have a lapse in judgement and forget how fucking awesome you are! You should hang a picture of that to put in the closet. It would be like we were all hugging you without all the awkward.
I have a feeling this is going to be one of those posts that crashes your blog again. Congratulations! Well deserved, I’m sure. Can’t say I’m not jealous.
I was hoping you’d make the top 10 list and there you go, blowing my expectations all to hell. Seriously, wtf? And now you know that your obit will start with, “New York Times Bestseller Jenny Larson died…”
Woo Hoo!!! I hope you celebrate by buying something furry and Victor doesn’t complain. Well wait no he needs to say something because otherwise it won’t be funny!! Congrats! You deserve it! Maybe now you can extend your tour?
just be happy that we are all not so contrary that we refuse to read your book because it’s #1… it does make me happy to be reading about drugs and taxidermy in the room with all the uptight moms at state testing for my kid… π
WOOT! Way to go!
I bought a digital edition of your book…. then I needed a place to put my signed book plate, so I bought a print version, too! First time I’ve ever bought 2 copies of the same book… worth every penny!
Wow we finally found a way to make you speechless ;-). My book arrives from the US in about a week, can’t wait. See you in London once we get the word to Europe. You deserve it all, and Victor, I predict a stuffed hippo in your future.
You’re completely deserving of this. Don’t ever sell yourself short.
I didn’t just snort a few times while finishing the book on a flight today (confusing the people around me, i’m sure), but actually teared up at the larger message. Thank you for putting the idea of “normal” in perspective for so many of us who thought we weren’t doing it right.
Well, duh! I’ll be buying one for all my girlfriends if they don’t already have it. Love, Love, Love! You are brilliant and bring so much encouragement and joy to mine and so many other’s lives. Thanks! Power on sistah!
Jenny . . . I’m reading your book but it’s going to take me a while to finish. I have to schedule times where I’m able to sit on the toilet and read so I don’t pee my britches AGAIN. Love it, love it! I’ve had breadcrumbs between my toes, too . . . you are not alone.
Yay! I have it on my Kindle. Loved it so much I bought a hard copy too. It has earned a special spot on the shelf I used to reserve for only Tim Dorsey books. Congratulations!!!
I got the book today, thankyouAmazon. I’m hoping it takes the sting out of my daily commute to Brooklyn via mass transit. That may be setting the bar a little high though….part of my day is spent admiring the “Brooklyn Wishing Well,” where the filthy subway tracks are partially flooded and someone dropped a dime. Ah, it gives the resident rat a place to get a drink….
So excited for you! Your book – which I would’ve read in one instead of two sittings if I didn’t have a stupid job to go to – is fantastic. And it makes me happy and sometimes sad and sometimes disturbingly nauseous from laughing so hard in a really serious this-makes-me-feel-so-connected-to-others-in-the-universe kind of way.
Because you’re brilliant & it’s well deserved, luv. In the end, it wasn’t luck that paid off. It was just plain old hard-work. Congratulations, Ms. Bloggess.
Not to detract from your victory, but NO ONE reads nonfiction not written by awesome people like you. So that limits the list to about three books excluding yours. But you beat them! Good job!
Congratulations!! Not gonna lie, I also splurged and got the audiobook when I realized you narrate it yourself – brilliant ploy that has also resulted in multiple copies of David Sedaris books floating around my house & on my ipod. Thanks for making me giggle like a fucking loon when I should be working, it get’s me through.
I leave for Europe tomorrow and I haven’t even allowed myself to take your book out of the packaging it came in, or my complete and utter lack of willpower means that fucker will be read before they call “boarding row 32”. However, I DID finally receive the bookplate yesterday. And I’ve decided this means you and I are best friends. Thanks so much for your gift, bestie! You always get me!
YES!!!!!! Soooo celebrating the moment with you! : ) Doing a little dance, Juanita style. Thanks for all the late night laughs (book) and all the midday laughs (blog) and all the laughs in between (chatting with my girlfriends about your new posts). BUT, sad news: I didn’t win the lottery, so my girlfriend Jen & I cannot rent a private jet to stalk you on your book tour and pretend to take not such good care of your cat to justify our unexplained repeat appearances in every city. PLEASE COME TO WASHINGTON DC OR MIAMI!!!!!!
Congratulations!! Loved reading the book (I could not put it down and really really annoyed my significant other staying up all night reading it with a booklight and cracking up) and, I have purchased a few to give as gifts!!
Not surprised – not at all. I put my signed bookplate under the clear iSkin on my iPad so Ican show it off to all my friends. I think you definitely deserve something ethically taxedermied and a couple of wine slushies. CELEBRATE good times, c’mon!!!
I just bought the book (up to the arm condom incident, I live on a farm, I totally understand everything) You are awesome, you totally deserve this, and I understand you a little more.
I think this is the first NYT Bestseller that I’ve ever owned AND I am not even the least little bit miffed that I have to buy a copy (second copy) at the bookstore for tomorrow night’s signing. ( in 23 hours, 58 minutes and 39 seconds… if I were counting)
So very, very happy for you! You ABSOLUTELY deserve this (and all the good things I know that life holds for you)!
I don’t suppose I counted in that, well, count, since I bought the audiobook. It was a huge bonus and a pleasure to hear you, Jenny, reading your book. I work in a lab and there were a couple of Chinese chemsists in there with me, looking puzzled at me as I laughed to myself muttering things like “Ha ha, Franken-gina, oh my god that’s RICH!”
I just finished your book this morning! Laughed my ass off. Congrats on being all famous-er and stuff. (Although, honestly, I pretty much think you were in as soon as you were BFFs with Neil Gaiman and Wil Wheaton.)
Well duh, of COURSE you’re a huge success—you ARE all-that-and-a-bag-of chips!! I couldn’t be happier for you if I tried!!! ENJOY the love every single one of us feel for you!
Oh CONGRATULATIONS! That is so wonderful. I am listening to your book during my drive to work and just love it. I’m to the part where you and Victor are about to marry. So sweet…. I love romantic nightmare comedy. Nightmare in a good way though.
What an amazing accomplishment, I don’t have anything eloquent or clever to say, just that I’m so happy for you and this is so well-deserved. Halfway through it, and know I’ll come back to it again and again. Congratulations! Yippee!!!
WOOHOO!!!!! I’m so happy for you! You completely deserve it. Your book is AWESOME. I tried desperatley to make it last, but I couldn’t put it down. I have loaned it to my sister and my niece to read. I so totally β€ you.
I’m so happy that I jumped on the “#1 best seller bandwagon” before the bandwagon was formed, since I had the Kindle version pre ordered since Christmas. You deserve a new taxidermy animal for this!
Does this mean that all of us that bought the book before you were a New York Times Bestselling Author get to be hipsters about your book?
“Yeah, I liked her even before she went mainstream”
NIIIIIICE! Congrats!!!! I know you must be so excited! I am tickled for you! And proud! And happy! We *heart* us some Bloggess at my house! Knock knock, mother fuckerβ¦You made it!!!!!
Yes, yes, congratulations and all that, but how is it that you have a copy of the May 6 NYT Book Review? It’s still April 25 where I live. You must be even more awesome than we realized!
Ok skeptics who are questioning the date … go to the NYT Bestseller website and read their procedure notes at the bottom of the list. Yes, it hasn’t come out yet in print and on the web, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t true. The lists are posted quite a while after the week of actually tallying. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Just be happy for her and quit questioning her! I would imagine if you are going to be at the top of the chart someone somewhere contacts you (or rather your people) to let you know it is happening.
Congratulations, Jenny. I came to your website just recently, and I love it, and LOVED the book. I use the past tense because I read it in one day. It is most excellent. I am so happy for you, you totally deserve this.
Long-time reader, first time poster…as someone who has struggled with anxiety and depression, let me just say THANK YOU for the thousands of laugh-cries as I’ve read (and re-read) your blog, and now your book. I literally savored every chapter of that book and had a serious withdrawal when I finished it. On behalf of the group of women with whom I regularly chat about your blog, THANK YOU for putting yourself out there for the world to enjoy. Thank you, Jenny Lawson!
You completely deserve it! The book is incredible. I tried to make it last (because I didn’t want it to end), but still managed to finish it in just a few days.
Well deserved. I’m halfway through the book and I am causing the other parents at my kid’s LAX practices to think I have some sort of voice tic, as I burst out intermittent snorts, guffaws, and out and out belly laughs while reading on the side of the field. The coaches have asked me to read in my car from now on.
Yay! Congratulations! You are amazing and totally deserve this! Your book is wonderfully hilarious and it was truly an honor to meet you, Juanita and Copernicus at your book signing in San Antonio!
I’m so happy! I found this blog last week, and bought the book on Monday. I loved it and I think you’re amazing! I’m buying another two copies for my friends when I get my paycheck this weekend.
I bought the ebook because I love reading books surreptitiously on my phone, but I couldn’t because I kept on laughing out loud.
It’s an amazing book and a laugh out loud one and thank you so much for writing it and being you. Because you rock.
Of course you don’t have the words. You used them up IN YOUR BESTSELLING BOOK. Now you have to leave tiny bottles of tequila under your pillow at night for the Word Fairy. She’ll replace them with words in your head the next morning.
Of course, if you try to help her by drinking the tiny tequila bottles in the middle of the night you might not like the words you end up with.
1.) You are a PR genius.
2.) Your minions are awesome.
3.I’m am proud to count myself among them.
4.) Congrats! I was anxiously waiting to see where your book would debut.
5.) I had no doubt. Really.
Your book is very good so far! But it makes me say the inappropriate things that are in my head to my girlfriends and then we laugh until it hurts. I think people think we’re drunk or insane.
So deserved! Just so you know, I bought it on the first day and told the cashier that he should put them out in a more prominent place because it was fucking hysterical. Maybe I left out the fucking part, but still. Then, today, I carried it to my son’s taekwondo class to start it. I looked like a lunatic in convulsions trying to suppress my laughter. Then I got to page 28 and fell over.
They really wanted to call an ambulance.
Congrats, Jenny. I’m so fucking proud to call you a friend! Well, I’m the disturbed friend that put a headless barbie in your cleavage 4 years ago, but that totally counts, right?
So excited for you! Your book is AMAZING – has me laughing with almost every page. Aaaand – my husband is from Slovakia, and the way you described your grandparents had me in stitches. You.Are.Fantastic.
So exciting! I finished reading your book on Monday and promptly loaned it to a friend. LOVED IT! I’ll be starting the audio book tomorrow. Congrats, Lady!
I knew you were going to blow through the roof when I saw the FULL PAGE spread they did on your book in People magazine this week. I just ordered the book today. Congrats on your success.
You deserve every bit of it! You earned every bit of it!
I was on the way to see you tonight when I got sidetracked by 5 in-laws arriving. I wish I was there to share your moment. Maybe we’ll have another romantic,-infested cruise someday. Cylon
Congrats! Now I’m even MORE upset that I haven’t read it yet. My husband works for a library wholesaler and he was SUPPOSED to get me the book on the DAY it came out, but here I am 8 days later with no book. I’m hoping he got it for me as an anniversary gift for our 1st anniversary on Friday (the paper anniversary after all), and I swear, if he didn’t, he’s getting a giant metal chicken at our front door. Which will be incredibly awkward, since we live in an apartment building, so it will likely block the stairs and he will not be able to get inside. Which is what he deserves if he didn’t buy me this book. Angry neighbours and a giant metal chicken.
Congrats again π
That’s awesome news… I’m reading it at the moment and I have to limit myself to about 10 mins at a time… for several reasons.
1: I’m laughing so much my sides hurt
2: If I’m out and about, people are staring at me strangely
3: I want to make the book last as long as I possibly can.
SQUEEEE!!! I totally just did a happy dance for you!! Then I showed this post everyone in my house and said “Look how freakin’ AWESOME Jenny is!!!!!” for the record: they were all impressed!!!
I am almost finished reading it and I’m sad………don’t want it to come to send yet =
I am in love with your book! I should get a book sales fee lol – I’ve told everyone I know and even bought a few copies for friends. Laughing hysterically on the train, on my lunch break and before I go to bed. Everyone thinks I’m insane now
I’m a total lurker but read your blog everyday and could not be more excited for a blogger to have such success!! You deserve every bit of this and so much more! Obviously all of America was wanting some honest humor from a zombie, taxidermy, and metal chicken lover. Don’t be surprised when Stephen Spielberg is knocking on your door…
So my week has sucked – my one year old broke his arm and I got some nasty test results and the doctors are making me do this whole biopsy thing tomorrow….I thought my husband was going to explode from the stress of final exams, working a full time job, having a baby with a broken arm and a wife who apparently is grows suspicious cells – but last night he went out and bought me your book and we curled up in bed and laughed until our bellies hurt. And today at work when I wanted to cry – I just flipped through the titles of your chapters and it made me smirk. I’m bringing your book to my biopsy tomorrow. Thank you for the comic relief. P.S. – In my head, we are friends.
I literally read mine in one day, and it’s proudly sitting on my living room table right now. I can’t bring myself to put it away because everyone here needs to read it. lol Congratulations.
I’m really loving the book and sad I’m not in Austin anymore and couldn’t be there for the book tour. I’d have suggested my mother-in-law go see you on my behalf, but she’s really probably more concerned with protecting her sofa cushions for my next visit. She’s never gotten over how, on one visit, my dogs killed an armadillo in her yard and drooled its guts on her nice floors. I now know that your understand how that sort of thing goes. . .
Ok so my last comment was really all about me and YOU just hit number one on the New York Best Seller list so I should add…..you are freaking amazing and your book is made of awesome. Congratulations!
I never comment, but I just had to say: it has really been a joy witnessing all the great things that have happened for you in connection with this book. I am truly happy for you.
I know that I don’t know you, but I also have to say: I’m not sure all of this could have happened to a nicer person. Seriously, I know you have things you struggle with, but there really are few people out there who are so willing and intent on spreading joy and hope whenever possible. Congratulations on the book, everything connected with it, and for just being a truly awesome woman.
That’s wicked awesome, and I’ll have you know I bring your book around everywhere and laugh so hard I cry and then I have to find tissues, or napkins, or something, and people keep looking at me weird until a colleague busted out with a Beyonce keychain and now we’re instant friends because we both love your blog (and work–bc I love your book too)
Yay congrats! I almost never buy books, so if the library doesn’t have it I don’t read it. But when our library didn’t have your book I suggested it and the bought a couple copies. And when they arrive, I get to read it first!
I bought TWO copies! (I’m sure that was what put you over the top…either that or the tens of thousands of people who already know you are AMAZING and the millions who are just discovering it…could be that too).
Congrats! I love your book! I am going to suggest my book club reads it.
Your book needs to be shared! Plus you will sell more books. π
I already bought the hardcover and the ebook!
Was at your book signing tonight in Austin. Thank you so much for stepping out of your comfort zone and sharing yourself with us! Truly enjoyed it and loved be part of the your first of many #1 days!
Yay for you! Totally deserved. When my Kindle said I was 90% through the book, I started reading r…e…a..l.. slow because I don’t want it to end! Your life experiences are hilariously disturbing and/or disturbingly hilarious. I’m impressed with the level of sanity you have held onto. Allegedly.
Yay, YOU!!! *screaming right along with you*
Amazon delivered mine but my hubster snatched it quick and I guess he gets to read it first… he better read fast!
Congratulations! What an amazing accomplishment! I have two copies. I bought the second one at Book People tonight so you could sign it. Thanks for being so awesome.
As it should be! I started reading it this weekend while I was at the cabin with my in-laws. I just kept shaking because I was trying to laugh without making noise. I’m so glad I bought your book!
While I read multiple books a week, I never spend money on them. I splurged on your book, I’m halfway finished and I’m upset that I can’t do anything at work aside from think about reading your book, but I can’t, because I’d laugh too hard. Love it! Congratulations, well deserved!
It’s no suprise to me. That is one amazing book you’ve writen. I laughed, and cried… because I laughed so hard… and also because I woke my husband up laughing, and he pinched me.
So…tonight I cried a little because not only did I miss my normal small group Bible study, but your book signing…(you’re the real reason I cried a little …those other girls will forgive me and see me this weekend at the party.)
Either way, it is all due to my wedding reception that is this Saturday and while I thought I had planned a perfect amount of time to do it all (I totally did), what I didn’t plan for was a blown fuse, people calling me to buy my software (daytime job) every 10 mins (this is awesome!) and having to put together little gift baskets for guests attending our party this weekend…
Long story short…I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY wish that I had been able to come to your book signing tonight. I was saving buying your book for this. Now I just have to get it online and miss the chance to try and make you my best new friend. My partner (husband/whatever) already agrees that both of our lives would be more full if you were part of it…and not because he thinks I am lacking. It is because then he would not have to be my “Victor” and he would probably not have to give me crazy looks if you and I were friends.
Congrats on all that is so obviously deserved! I look forward to continue sharing you with everyone I know!
Kile (like a boy…but with really good doctors so I look like a girl…mostly cause I am, but makes a better story to say that “I have good doctors” while covering my throat.)
You shouldn’t have the words. They are all in that book you wrote. Which is apparently really good. And by apparently, I mean actually. Congratulations!!
This may also be the first ever time I have read a book on the NY Times list while it was still on the list.
Confession: I could have finished reading already, but two friends want to borrow the book when I’m done, so I’m trying to delay having to pass it along. I want it to go on forever.
Me and two friends were waiting outside Book People in Austin for it to be time for your appearance there when one friend got the tweet; we all screamed for you! It was simply amazing to meet you and we all just had an absolute blast! Thank you Jenny…seriously, this is so well deserved!
I truly believe that Nancy W. Kappes, Paralegal, is spraying Judy Garland Trail Mix throughout the afterlife in your honor. Very, very proud. And so grateful to have been part of this journey for so long. Belly shots, Giant Labias, Wolverines, Ninjas, Christmas miracles and discovering my very own red dress in many forms…oh, and Japanese boobie pudding. And that time we….. And that other time…and and and….and, well, thank you. For leading the way. And never stop. Never. Even when the dark parts crowd in…remember, the sparkly bits will come through…..usually with a spatula….
Just bought your book yesterday and I am facebooking and texting like crazy to tell EVERYONE I know to run out and buy it as soon as they can. I literally have never laughed so hard in my life and I am only on page 100!!! Seriously it is now my favorite book EVER!! I want everyone I know to read it or I might just never speak to them again. Write more books because I don’t want to stop reading them….EVER!!
Reading it, love it, thrilled for you…. And love the generic description on the list, a blogger recalls her unuul childhood … Wow that says sooooo much!
That is just how awesome you are (and how awesome/hilarious your book is). Now come to Seattle for a reading, for the love of GOD!!!! You have a huge following out here, and I would single-handedly make sure everyone I know attended. π Congratulations!
If I wasn’t busy with school, internship, work, homework / midterms, I’d be finished by now. I’ve only got about 60 pages left. I want to finish, but also if I finish, what else will I have to look forward to? Piles of ethnographies and boring archaeological articles. I’m looking forward to finishing, yet not at the same time. I’ve waited for this book for so long, I have nothing to look forward to now.
Yay! Jenny, you’re my hero and you’re so deserving! Congratulations! I LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog and your book is your blog times a billion fantabulous!!
This means that you’re absolutely a “novellist” now, right? So my kids can come to me in the next few years and tell me that the schools have replaced “The Red Badge of Courage” with “Let’s Pretend This Never Happened”. That’s obviously how it works, yeah?
Amazon “recommended” your book to me on my Kindle. They thought I’d like it. I’m totally spooked now because clearly they have me pegged. I can’t remember the last time I’ve laughed so hard. I read the chapter about Stanley out loud to my husband, but I had to take breaks because I was laughing so hard that I couldn’t see through my tears!!
There are small-medium-large-extra large & GIANT metal chickens proudly standing taller all over America now! On behalf of the Beyonces I own or have given as gifts, I say,
“Knock Knock””
“Who’s there?”
“Motherfucker”
“Motherfucker who?”
“Motherfucker, it is JENNY on top of the world famous NYT Best Seller list!”
Congratulations, Jenny …. and to Victor who loves you!
You will forever be “best-selling author Jenny Lawson” or, more formally, “New York Times best-selling author Jenny Lawson.” It sounds really good, whether it’s “best-selling author Jenny Lawson donates millions to charity” or “best-selling author Jenny Lawson spotted streaking in Mall of the Americas.” It dresses everything up. Yay you! Go streak!
Huge congrats from us over here in Spain still waiting for our copy to arrive (Kindle version wasn’t good enough, I wanted an actual touchable copy). Now I’m even more excited to get t!
Yay, Jenny! I’m hoping that I can at least half if not all of the personal/arts educatitional scholarship head your way regardless of talent… you guys and gals need to show us old fogeys what you’ve already got… Bazinga!
it is everything you deserve – and not the least of the everything. the kind of everything that grows and grows and grows until everyone you touch feels it deep in their hearts and touches you back (but not in the bad way).
it is gratitude and it is thankfulness and it is relief and it is understanding …. and it is endless!
Congratulations! I tell everyone who will listen that you are the funniest woman in the world.
My partner thinks I’m crazy because I often start crying reading your blogs…from laughing, not because they are sad. Then I try reading them to him and he can’t understand a word I’m saying because I’m laughing too hard so he says he will just read it himself but I won’t let him because I want to read it to him.
Anyway, I think you rock.
BTW….haven’t read the book yet but as soon as I have the money I will be getting it. I can’t wait….I might try to fit it into our food budget. π
Because the Amazon UK distributor sucks, I still haven’t recieved my hard copy. However I do have my Kindle copy and that’s even better, because instant gratification is kind of what I’m all about.
I’m really pleased for you, but not even the least bit surprised. Don’t you know by now how much you are adored?
Squeeeee!!!! How exciting!!!!! HUGE congratulations – I can’t wait for the book to come out in the UK! (You can never have too many exclamation marks, no matter what Terry Pratchett says…) J x
Definitely deserve it! Just finished your book last night and it was totally worth $45 lol. I was in tears at the end. My dh says flustrated all the time. Drives me crazy!! Thanks for being you!
I got my copy in the mail yesterday….and after the shoot me in the head three times, still alive but wishing I was dead kind of day I had….It was the BEST thing that could have ever happened. I do not think I have ever read a book that A. I didn’t want to put down and B. Laughed so hard I was having trouble reading because I kept losing my fuckin spot!
Thank you Jenny Lawson for totally fixing my fucked up day!
Things like this sometimes happen to people who deserve it.
I marched my ass to the bookstore this week – with kids AND Mother-in-Law in tow, mind you – to buy a copy at full price. This is how much I respect what you’re doing. What you’ve done.
Dammit, Jenny, you deserve to never stop screaming. You’ve done good.
You deserve it! The book is so funny I wet my pants…literally…while crying because I was laughing so hard I couldn’t contain myself….and it was only chapter 3!!!! Congratulations!
I am sure Ellen’s people will be calling you soon so you can continue your discussion of the zombie apocalypse, your birth canal and your lady garden on national TV! When you leave the house, you leave the house big time! Congratulations!
Well, it’s because your book is da bomb, duh. I was reading it last night in the tub and I was in there so long, not wanting to stop reading, that I got all pruney and my bathwater went cold. It’s that good! Ever read “A Girl Named Zippy”? Like that, except in Texas in stead of Indiana.
Congratulations! I’m enjoying your book on my commute. I need to find a more serious book to read because my fellow commuters keep edging away from me because I periodically break out in hysterical laughter.
I’m pretty sure there’s a law that states if you hit #1 on the NY Times Best Seller list you must book tour in Boston. Just sayin. Congratulations! So very well deserved.
I totally just burned my eggs because I couldn’t stop staring at that chart, laughing at all the other books that thought they had a chance. You owe me breakfast. These eggs are godawful.
Seriously, tears in my eyes for you. I’d scream too but I’d scare the dog (part of the downside of having living creatures, vs. stuffed ones, as friends).
And see? The guy who wrote “Heaven is For Real” (#6) was right! (minus the dying stuff)
I clapped, gave a little squeal and did the Lindy Hop! π I’m pretty sure by law that debuting #1, you have to extend your tour to Oklahoma. Contrary to popular belief, WE DO ACTUALLY READ. heee!
I could not be happier for you – and I never doubted for a second that #1 is where you’d end up. CONGRATS!!!
The only reason I haven’t gotten the book yet is I am letting son and hubby buy it for me for me for Mother’s Day. And it’s KILLING me to wait this long, but I have to give them SOME guidance on gifts or I’ll end up with another teddy bear on a three wheeled bike with fake flowers in the basket. Gawwwwwwwd.
Mother’s Day can’t come soon enough……
Congrats!! You are fucking awesome! I haven’t been able to put the book down (well my Nook, but you get the idea) and I successfully used Stabby in a sentence yesterday and that made me kind of awesome, but not to the level of your awesome and for that I thank you.
Woo hoo! I”m a few chapters into the book and our parents may be long lost cousins. My sister and I used to catch armadillos too! However I was not aware of this racing option for them. We spray painted letters on their backs to name them, and attempted to walk them on rope. Not an easy task!
Everyone is posting that this is a testament to your greatness, but I think that the REAL testament to your greatness is that my 9 year old son now routinely uses the term “stabby” . THAT is “trending”. You know you’ve achieved something when you can manipulate the American vernacular.
That’s because your book is a beautiful combination of everything wonderful about your usual blog posts in a griping memoir style that just begs you not to put it down! I’m only a handful of pages from the end and can’t wait until lunch today so I can finish. You are awesome!!
Who would have thunk it?? YOU SHOULD HAVE!!! You have done a wonderfull thing and bring joy to many by just being you. Congrats and I hope it seriously gives you the opportunity to change your life for the better. If not, you’ll have something else to write about!!
This is awesome!!! Congratulations future Jenny!!!!!
But I am a little perplexed as to how you time traveled to May 6 to know that you were going to be #1 then? Did you get your tardis up and running again?
Congratulations! I am not surprised in the least. I have been enjoying the book emensely, though I will admit all the giggling was a bit rough post laproscopic hysterectomy surgery I had on the 17th, but so worth it π
Completely deserved. The other day, I was sitting in bed reading your book and wishing that reading could be more of a group activity, just so I wouldn’t have to laugh like a lunatic all by myself. So I asked my husband if I could read him a chapter, and he said no, because he’s planning on reading the book after me and he didn’t want me to ruin it for him, but I did it anyway because that’s how I roll. And then I started laughing so hard while I was reading it that I was crying, and I couldn’t go on, so maybe reading it out loud was a bad idea. But then I realized my husband was TOTALLY enjoying it, which only proves that I’m always right and he should just defer to my wishes all the time.
ANYways. Point is, this book was already the best book I’d ever read EVER even after I’d only just read the first page. When it ends, I’ll be sad, because other books will pale in comparison. So many congratulations. π
It’s because you are so awesome! I read the book in 2 days because I could NOT put it down. Within the first 4 pages, I had laughed OUT LOUD 5 times & laughed so hard I was in tears & was getting worried looks from my daughter.
Wow! Congratulations! I’m about 3/4 of the way through the book and am already sad that it’s almost over….I am LOVING IT!
Victor must let you buy towels now….lots and lots of towels….and taxidermied weasels.
This news is not the least bit surprising to me at all! I pre-ordered two copies and have already finished reading mine and today, I’ll be purchasing two more when I come to the book signing. What’s really crazy is that it’s quite rare for me to purchase a book brand new….but I knew it’d be worth it and I was totally right!
One of the things I love the most about you (and your blog and your book) is that you are real, with everyone else and with yourself. That’s hard to come by these days – and to be so fucking hilarious at the same time? Near impossible to find!
Can’t wait to meet you tonight! We’re making it a family affair – myself, my sis, my boyfriend and the kiddo and we all so look forward to it! Congrats!
Congratulations! Although it shouldn’t be a surprise. Like KMarrs said -you presold over 6,000 copies, right!? I got my book on Tuesday and have laughed my ass off with damn near every page. You are one talented writer/story teller. You should be very proud.
Awesome people should be rewarded for their awesomeness, that’s why. I can’t wait until I can afford a copy. I am probably going to annoy everyone by reading it aloud.
This gave me goosebumps. I’m so happy for you! You deserve it. I can’t put the damn book down and have forced everyone I know to buy one. So… you’re welcome? π Kidding. You’re amazing!
So now when I come to the book signing tonight, I will be meeting a Best Selling Author, not just the funniest woman I never really knew. I don’t know if I should be seen with such high fallutin’ society types. But I’m still going to make the effort…for Jaunita. She hasn’t let fame go to her head.
Still love you more than my luggage, (and I have FABULOUS luggage, honey!).
Your #1 fan who is still not your friend on Facebook,
Leatrice
If this doesn’t make you furiously happy, sweetheart, then perhaps you need to go get some bobcat urine.
Congratulations. Your book was phenomenal. I’m recommending it to all my like-minded friends. And by “like-minded” I mean as equally beautiful and fucked up as I am.
Totally worth sticking your arm in a cow’s vagina for a #1 best seller. Read the book last week and LOVED it. I’m so inspired by your tenacity to do what you do with an anxiety disorder. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
I bought your book on Monday and I am thoroughly enjoying it! I just burst out laughing and can’t control it! I look forward to reading your blogs and am hoping there is another book in my future!
WOOHOO! i bet mother teresa never made the NYT Bestsellers Li-what? she did? well, crap.
CONGRATS!! SO AWESOME. I bet Juanita Weasel looked VERY excited to see the news:)
i laughed so hard reading your book last night I cried. the cat was not amused. (only because she can’t read…if she could she TOTALLY would have been laughing too)
So psyched for you, Jenny. And for me, too … because now I get to spend the weekend telling everyone that I’m friends with the author of the #1 book on the New York Times bestseller list. π
Congratulations!! You totally deserve it. I read the whole book in two days. I just couldn’t put it down. I laughed and cried and laughed UNTIL I cried. I have bipolar disorder as well as crazy anxiety; you perfectly describe what it’s like to live with a mind you can’t always control (I actually circled the section where you describe an anxiety attack before I handed the book off to my boyfriend to read) and it made me feel good to know there really are other people out there who understand it all.
And also – my grandma had those exact same gross plastic mats in her house and my brother and I used to flip them over and walk on them ALL. THE. TIME. Kids are weird.
I’m halfway through the book – laughing out loud on my lunch break at work – then kinda hoping no one will ask what is so funny because hwo can I say that HOBOS eating a pet is funny? You are so amazing. I’m so happy for your success!
You so deserve this. I read your book and thought it was amazing. I laughed (a lot), I cried (a little) and finally came to the conclusion that I am not so strange after all.
Thank you for your book. It’s one of the BEST I’ve ever read.
i can’t imagine how awesome that must be for you. heck i am feeling pretty damn good that i read a # 1 best seller and before it was:) thank you. i loved your book and on many occasion laughed until i cried and had to stop reading. i did not not pee my pants laughing so hard.
I purchased said book. By page 17, I peed myself. I literally urinated. Right the fuck. IN MY PANTS. So I should charge you for an upholstery cleaning, since I was sitting on my couch when the piss went down. But I won’t because you are made of awesome. And I feel bad because your fucked up childhood was the reason I was laughing.
Just returned from jumping up and down like an excited 6yo girl–in the public restroom at my workplace, because it seemed like the most appropriate spot to celebrate your achievement……
Dah-yum! You go girl! Of course, WE all knew you were this good, because you’ve been making us pee our pants laughing for YEARS now. So this was NOT unexpected by any stretch of the imagination. You rock, Jenny! Thanks for just being who you are, and doing what you do. The highs and lows you share make me feel like I’m not alone in struggling through this roller coaster called life, and when you can make the journey funny, you do. And the lows don’t seem as low, and the highs get higher. So rock on, sister.
Congratulations Jenny! We knew it would reach number one! I’m sure this won’t be the only list that you’re on. So happy for you. Enjoy this time of your life. Can’t wait for the sequel. β€
I think you can now sufficiently justify that Harry Potter collection of dead animals to Victor. Great seeing you in San Antonio. Love reading the book [and intermittently losing all bladder control]. Keep going, Girl!
Congrats! This is super exciting news. I haven’t had a chance to get your book yet but it seems like it is you in book form. Since you are awesome it thus makes sense that everyone would love it. I’m glad that everything is going according to the master plan that I’m sure you have in place.
1) Conquer the internet by being amazing
2) Write a book
3) Become super popular in the “real” world
4) ?
5) Cage match with JK Rowling
6) ?
7) World Domination
I personally am looking forward to the various well dressed dead animals that will soon be watching over all of us and keeping us safe.
Congratulations again. We’re all super proud of you obviously.
SOO happy for you! I got the book on Friday, finished it last night and LOVED IT. I laughed so much, I recognized myself and my family…I instantly went on to my facebook and announced it was one of the top 3 books i’ve EVER read (and I read A LOT). You are such an amazing inspiring woman Jenny. For real.
Just to point it out-I identify so much with you and you inspire me with your braveness, wit, sense of humor and courage. My Dad, to whom I am close, moved away when I was 18. He recently moved back home and I’m 32 now. He’s been saying he needs to “re-learn” who I’ve become as a woman: my dry wit, sarcasm, what I find funny, my likes and dis-likes, etc. I knew right away, the best way to show him- I’m going to make him read the book.
Congratulations! You deserve all the kudos you get. It’s an awesome book. I laughed so hard the dogs came to see if I was okay.
And congratulations on being able to meet and greet all those people.
So, about 10 people have mentioned the May 6 date or that this post is from the future. That’s 1.3% and I’m upping that to 1.4%.
Jenny, I’m glad you found a working TARDIS. That may deserve as many accolades as your #1 ranking. Please help us prevent the coming zombie apocalypse.
Your book is awesome and your blog has me in tears regularly. This is very well deserved. I can’t wait to see what you do next… If you feel like coming to Boston for a book signing, I’d be first in line.
Keep the laughs coming, if you can laugh about it, it lessens the chance it’ll kill you.
May I please have some of the bags of money you (I assume) now use to decorate Beyonce? I want to buy an ethically taxidermied animal and also maybe pay mortgage.
What I love most about commenting on this post is that I had to scroll WAAAAAYYY down the page because so many people are here professing their love for you. Awesomeness. Misfits Unite!!! Congrats, Doll!! I SO knew you would be number one… β€
Absofreakinglutely amazing!!! π HUGE congrats!
I blew through the entire thing in a couple nights- even inspired my own “Victor” to read it because I LOL’d so much. In spite of his stoicism, he has done the same.
Already awaiting your sequel!
Congratulations! I am so so SO happy for you. Last weekend my husband and I scoped out your book on the New Arrivals table at Barnes and Noble. I handed him your book and said, “this is going to be HUGE based on Jenny’s republished publicity.” My psychotic ability was dead on!
Any book that takes 10 years to write deserves this.
I already told you your book is awesome. But it’s awesome. It made me believe in something, made me realize that I’m ok, we’re all ok, and that sometimes weird things happen in life and we all get over it. Thank you for…just thank you.
Well done that woman! If I still had the recording I would play Simon and Garfunkel’s ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ in tribute to your stunning and well earned success. It is the song I listened to frequently during my last 10 days in Vietnam. I am so very happy for you.
I was a part of this! I love that you reached #1 in your debut week and I HELPED! Yay! I know that I didn’t PREORDER my book but bought it at my local Target on the day it was released, but if you have any extra bookplates, could I have one? I have my receipt; I could show it to you.
Congratulations, Jenny. I’ve followed you for a long time and am thrilled to see you get this recognition. Thanks for all the laughs you have given me.
SQUEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! Amazing π Many congratulations to you! My husband just went out of town on a work trip and the number one thing I requested (/demanded) was your book. Yes, I live in a small town with no book store. Anyway, it’s hilarious and endearing and making me feel sane and some slight jealousy, and then I remember that I am from a culture that still values hunting/gathering very highly and I have some pretty great blood/dead animal filled memories including helping to skin a caribou on our living room floor.
Anyway, I can’t put it down. Other than to comment here, or when I made myself tea, or when I made some ranch dressing to accompany my lunch.
Also, I am not jealous of the the whole rheumatoid arthritis thing, cause I got that shit and it fucking sucks.
So happy for you. Congratulations. And for my book review, I found it far more moving than I could possibly have imagined. Stay strong – and never lose your ability to see the wry humor in all situations. Loved the book and love having discovered your blogs. Thanks for the laughs!
Can’t stop grinning for you! It’s like you’re the square peg that said “Fuck you, round hole, you’re overrated!”
Wow, that came out really dirty.
And so did that! You’re rubbing off on me!
Yikes I did it again. I think I need a shower.
Must. Stop. Now.
Wow…I’m just so proud and overwhelmed and am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO celebrating right now.
Your Book (yes, I’m capitalizing it because it DESERVES capitalization) is just rad. And “rad” isn’t a word I throw around lightly. #1. WOW! JENNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY SHITBALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can’t help but think about that jerk from Brandlink right now. It would be fun to take that screen shot and put it in his face and ask, Is this relevant enough for you? You’re making the world laugh and that’s the best thing anyone could ever do. Congrats! You deserve it all.
That’s because you make us laugh out loud, and in this economy we all need to laugh!

Oh my God! I’m so excited for you that I teared up a little! Of course, it could be the pregnancy hormones coursing through my body, but I think it’s mostly because I’m just so happy for you!
You should totally get a wallet-size version made and laminate it to carry it around in your pocket all the time. It’d be way more useful than the little laminated, pocket-size diplomas they gave my class when we graduated from high school. Still not sure what those were for…it’s not like I’ve ever needed to provide proof on the spot that I graduated from a little school in East Texas.
Sorry, off topic (I’m blaming the pregnancy again for my wandering baby brain)…Congratulations!!!!

Congrats! Now I’m even MORE upset that I haven’t read it yet. My husband works for a library wholesaler and he was SUPPOSED to get me the book on the DAY it came out, but here I am 8 days later with no book. I’m hoping he got it for me as an anniversary gift for our 1st anniversary on Friday (the paper anniversary after all), and I swear, if he didn’t, he’s getting a giant metal chicken at our front door. Which will be incredibly awkward, since we live in an apartment building, so it will likely block the stairs and he will not be able to get inside. Which is what he deserves if he didn’t buy me this book. Angry neighbours and a giant metal chicken.

So…tonight I cried a little because not only did I miss my normal small group Bible study, but your book signing…(you’re the real reason I cried a little …those other girls will forgive me and see me this weekend at the party.)
Either way, it is all due to my wedding reception that is this Saturday and while I thought I had planned a perfect amount of time to do it all (I totally did), what I didn’t plan for was a blown fuse, people calling me to buy my software (daytime job) every 10 mins (this is awesome!) and having to put together little gift baskets for guests attending our party this weekend…
Long story short…I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY wish that I had been able to come to your book signing tonight. I was saving buying your book for this. Now I just have to get it online and miss the chance to try and make you my best new friend. My partner (husband/whatever) already agrees that both of our lives would be more full if you were part of it…and not because he thinks I am lacking. It is because then he would not have to be my “Victor” and he would probably not have to give me crazy looks if you and I were friends.
Congrats on all that is so obviously deserved! I look forward to continue sharing you with everyone I know!

Then I try reading them to him and he can’t understand a word I’m saying because I’m laughing too hard so he says he will just read it himself but I won’t let him because I want to read it to him.
Anyway, I think you rock.
BTW….haven’t read the book yet but as soon as I have the money I will be getting it. I can’t wait….I might try to fit it into our food budget. π

Skyler Hall recently posted I Have Entered Psycho Mode.
Completely deserved. The other day, I was sitting in bed reading your book and wishing that reading could be more of a group activity, just so I wouldn’t have to laugh like a lunatic all by myself. So I asked my husband if I could read him a chapter, and he said no, because he’s planning on reading the book after me and he didn’t want me to ruin it for him, but I did it anyway because that’s how I roll. And then I started laughing so hard while I was reading it that I was crying, and I couldn’t go on, so maybe reading it out loud was a bad idea. But then I realized my husband was TOTALLY enjoying it, which only proves that I’m always right and he should just defer to my wishes all the time.
ANYways. Point is, this book was already the best book I’d ever read EVER even after I’d only just read the first page. When it ends, I’ll be sad, because other books will pale in comparison. So many congratulations. π

I was a part of this! I love that you reached #1 in your debut week and I HELPED! Yay! I know that I didn’t PREORDER my book but bought it at my local Target on the day it was released, but if you have any extra bookplates, could I have one? I have my receipt; I could show it to you.

SQUEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! Amazing π Many congratulations to you! My husband just went out of town on a work trip and the number one thing I requested (/demanded) was your book. Yes, I live in a small town with no book store. Anyway, it’s hilarious and endearing and making me feel sane and some slight jealousy, and then I remember that I am from a culture that still values hunting/gathering very highly and I have some pretty great blood/dead animal filled memories including helping to skin a caribou on our living room floor.
Anyway, I can’t put it down. Other than to comment here, or when I made myself tea, or when I made some ranch dressing to accompany my lunch.
Also, I am not jealous of the the whole rheumatoid arthritis thing, cause I got that shit and it fucking sucks.
