Do you want a free book? Of course you do, unless you’re some kind of monster.

in Random Crap

This is a potpourri of stuff so buckle up.

First off, today is National Coloring Book Day (really) so I’m giving away copies of mine (YOU ARE HERE: An Owner’s Manual for Dangerous Minds) right here.  If you need one for yourself or a friend leave a comment and I’ll send a few out tonight.  (Just make sure you leave a valid email address in your comment because that’s how I’ll contact random winners.)

Secondly, Today was my 33rd TMS treatment.  That means I only have three more to go.  I had a dip in emotions last week but not enough to be a depression and today I feel really good again.  Fingers crossed it continues.

Third, I forgot what I was going to say.  I think it was important though so I’m going to leave this space here in case I need to come back to it.

Fourth, apparently Furiously Happy is super on sale today if you want that instead of YOU ARE HERE then let me know and I’ll send a few of those out too.

Fifth, this weekend I’m driving to Book People to autograph books so if you’ve ordered one with a special inscription you’ll be getting it soon (thanks for your patience!) and if you want to order one now just go here and follow the directions.  They have all of my books and are a WONDERFUL independent book store to support and I will write anything you want in them.  And yes, I would be happy to write “Knock knock, motherfucker” or draw a picture of a cat or a penis or a cat’s penis.  They make excellent gifts.  My books, I mean.  Not cat penises.  Unless you’re a lady cat who is into that sort of thing.  No judgement.

Also, I typed in “no judgement” looking for a gif and got this.  This sort of feels the opposite of what I was looking for, but whatever.

Sixth, I FOUND A SECRET ROOM IN MY HOUSE.

Victor says it’s not a “secret room” at all and also he won’t let have a crowbar.

I’ve been live-tweeting it.  After you leave a comment click here to read it all.

  1. All the very best Jenny for the last three treatments. It’s been fascinating following along and checking in on your progress. It’s Friday here in Australia, have a good weekend.

  9. Wait, wait. On behalf of my fellow monsters everywhere, I think I resent the implication that we don’t like free books as much as the next…non-monster.

    Just saying.

  10. I loved the video of you and the attic. Er, secret room & the devil box. I cracked up at Hailey’s comments. She’s definitely your kid. 🙂

    I have You Are Here, but, I think my friend Judy might need it. Her email is: judycosme@gmail.com

  11. I would love to have a copy to share with friends at work for stress relief!! I work as a social worker in an elementary school.
    PLEASE pick me!!!

  15. I want a secret room in my house! And I want it to be one of those where you move a book on a bookcase, and the bookcase swings open and there’s a spooky passage behind it with torches and everything. And I need a copy of “You Are Here” to put on that bookcase. (And since I’m on WordPress too, that should give you access to my email address without my actually posting it.)

  16. Love love love this happy post! Fingers crossed for continued improvement! I share your books with everyone I know! Everyone loves them!

  21. I’m so happy you are gaining positive results from your treatments! I would love to have a copy of furiously happy. I am giving them as gifts to all my female family and friends for Christmas. I have read it and love it so much. I laughed so hard my husband thought I had lost my mind. I also have your coloring book already. I guess you can say I am a fan. rjenckslaw@gmail.com

  22. HI Jenny,
    Me, Me pick me!! I want one of the You Are Here!! Oh by the way, I hope that last three of your treatments goes exceedingly well! Wishing you all the best! Here’s my email ronica.0364@gmail.com. So PICK ME!

  26. Anxiety is through the roof with a rotten little maltese puppy terrorist living with me for the summer (think nonstop borking and landlords that live right above me). I have the colored pencils… all I need is this coloring book to decompress!

    I hope those TMS treatments continue to work wonders – we love you!

    krista.jaspers@gmail.com

  30. Jenny I think you are great and reading your tweets and instagram posts always brightens my day a little. I would love to have one of your coloring books! Thank you. <3

  32. I would love to give my mom a copy of your book! I moved away from home and she’s been really sad about it. Thanks!

  35. Ooh, I would love your coloring book! Been having Summer Sads. Signed up to foster kittens, so hopefully that will help!

  36. Hoping for a coloring book. I have had a hard week. Even if I don’t win, thanks for sharing all your experiences. It helps to know I’m not alone.

  40. Also, I probably overuse that Liz Lemon gif. She’s my hero. I may or may not actually high five myself in public when I accomplish something. 🙂

  41. Okay, that is ABSOLUTELY A SECRET ROOM AND IT’S TOTALLY HAUNTED. And now I’m super jealous because my ghosts are cooking meth or whatever and yours are leaving you a trail of corn nuts which is so freakin’ thoughtful because ghost hunting is hungry work!

  45. Omg how did innot know there was a colouring book??? 😳🤔🤷🏼‍♀️

  50. I’d love to get a copy of your book for the adult coloring group at my library. Third Monday of every month. I have a copy of my own and it makes me feel good every time I look at it. Thanks, Jenny!

  53. Congrats on your 33rd treatment!!! I’m on treatment 13 today… we’ll see how it goes – so far it’s been really topsy turvy. Anyways – I’d love a coloring book! Thank you

  54. Congratulations on your on-going successful treatments! But now the big question – do you know what you’re going to do to celebrate when you are finished? Metal lawn statues and random taxidermy animals everywhere want to know. 😉

    And my basement flooded last week. I need stress relief like WHOA BABY.

  55. Your books have helped me so much! Furiously Happy made me laugh, cry, and learn to accept my depression and anxiety. I’d love a copy of You Are Here.

    Hbyerly87@gmail.com

  56. I’ve always had an equal amount of hope/fear in finding surprise secret room. 😳

    It’s been great following along with your story. It’s been great to find a fellow RA warrior out there that I have a lot of in common with.

  58. Omg how did I not know there was a colouring book??? 😳🤔🤷🏼‍♀️

  62. First off, thank you for live tweeting your secret rooms, it has made work bearable today. Second, be careful you may end up in fillory or narnia. Thank you for your writing! my email is: socialunii@gmail.com. 🙂

  64. Hi Jenny,
    Thank you for sharing your stories. I worked at a job in a college admissions office, and it was pretty soul crushing. The only thing that could make me laugh was listening to your books on audio. I also kept a copy of You Are Here at my desk when things got really bad in my head. I really cannot thank you enough for helping get me through that place! I recommend your books and blog to my friends constantly.

  65. My mom could use one of those coloring books (I don’t think she has one yet).

  67. I just wanted to say thank you for your writing. I would love a copy of You Are Here or Furiously Happy (I’ve already read it twice. It always makes me feel better, less alone, and laugh out loud).

    createdfiercely@gmail.com

  68. Jenny~
    1 – you are awesome. I hope the TMS treatments are treating you well and that things are going to get better with time. 🙂
    2 – I disagree with Victor’s choice to NOT let you have a crowbar. It’s not like you can stab someone with it. Sheesh.
    3 – I would love a 2nd copy to share of You Are Here. It’s helped me a lot and I’d love to pass that on. bgraves81(@)gmail.com
    4 – thanks for being you and spreading the love and encouragement even when it’s hard! You help us all keep our heads above water ourselves.

  72. My dear friend Shelley has been living in s***storm conditions for months, and I know your book would take her away from the stinking mess for a little while.

  73. Gah, I thought putting my email address in the comment box thing would add it. It doesn’t. Here it is: scarroll21 (at) gmail (dot) com

  74. I already own Furiously Happy and A (mostly) True Memoir, and I’ve made all my friends read them. I’ve been following your blog for more than a decade. I would LOVE a copy of You Are Here, but I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a SIGNED copy of You Are Here EVEN MORE. Can I make requests? You’re already being so kind by giving away books, and I’m all like ‘but, could you like, sign that though?’. Now I’m overthinking. I’m gonna stop writing before this gets weird. I’m sorry. talk2sophia@gmail.com

  81. I love hearing about your treatment experiences, that they are going well. I’d love a copy of your coloring book!

  82. Hey! I don’t know if you’ll be delivering internationally (I’m in the UK), but I’d adore a copy of your colouring book. You’re my favourite <3 (also, best of luck with the treatments)! Xxx

  83. I have your coloring book already, but I’d love a copy of either of your other books! I’ve been trying to get my bff to read my favorite author for a couple years, and I’d love to loan her a signed copy!

  86. I’d love either a colouring book or Furiously Happy as a gift for my little sister whose relationship has just broken down and she needs a laugh…

  87. I would love a copy of You Are Here for my niece. We recently lost my mom and my niece’s birthday is coming up. She’s struggling and I know she would love a copy of your book.

  88. I would love a copy so so much. I have been wanting it since you announced it, but I haven’t been able to afford new books in ages.
    Even if you don’t pick me, thak you so much for doing this.

  91. I just bought a copy of Furiously Happy last week after borrowing it from my local library ages ago. It’s just as funny and touching and crazy add I remember. I would love a copy of your coloring book. Though I’d never have the guts to actually color in it. Honestly I’d photo copy the page I want to color because I’m very protective of my books. How protective am I? I have two copies of books I lend out. That way if one is accidentally lost or destroyed I still have it. Learned that the hard way in high school. Wow, I just rambled on for a bit there. Sorry. Let me leave it at I love everything you create.

  93. SO HAPPY for you about the TMS treatments! I want to introduce my daughter to you – either book would be a wonderful way to do that!

  94. I would love a copy of You Are Here. I’m so glad that your treatment has been going well, and I’m excited to see how your days following your treatment turn out. Thanks for being a sweet reminder that we (humans) are worth the fight. Email: amseip@gmail.com

  95. Im so happy to hear you have been feeling good! Good to know about furiously happy! Ive been meaning to grab a second copy to lend out to people (i dont trust others with my signed copy! Lmao)

  96. I would love a copy and selfishly it would be for me. I’ve had a shitty few months and I’m ready for that to change now.

    Also, I’ve enjoyed your secret room experience. However it has freaked me the hell out and now I’m afraid to open our closet. It has a mystery staircase in it. I shit you not! And our house isn’t even very big. I try not to think about it.

  97. I’d love a copy of “You Are Here”. I’ve been through TMS, as well as ECT, for my bipolar. I’ve been thinking of you and praying hard that this works for you. Stability is so precarious sometimes, but we can find it! <3

  98. I would love a copy of You Are Here. I found your blog around the time I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety and it has been a huge help. So thanks, or whatever. 🙂

    christinaherum@gmail.com

  100. I just wanted to say thank you for your writing. I would love a copy of You Are Here or Furiously Happy (I’ve already read it twice. It always makes me feel better, less alone, and laugh out loud).

    createdfiercely@gmail.com

  102. I live on Vieques, Puerto Rico. You have no idea how much I need the therapy of a new coloring book

  104. While I absolutely would love a coloring book, I definitely want a copy of “Furiously Happy”. I just finished it and I all but peed my pants. (Thankfully I have a strong bladder!) You are uplifting and fresh. And real and so sarcastic, it’s poetic. I joined your blog just to read about more of your crazy antics. Plus I hoard books. I need another for my collection!

  106. <<<<<<<<<<<will be stalking Bookpeople this weekend which is WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF MY NEW OFFICE!!!! … oh wait.. i don’t work on the weekends…….

  109. I bought your book when it was released, but I’d love a copy for my Mom. I got her a copy of “Lets Pretend This Never Happened” a few years ago for Christmas. She called me a few days later to tell me she’d been crying from laughing so hard after reading it.

    brandy.carrington84@gmail.com

  110. I would love a copy of you are here. 🙂 I followed the secret room tweets. My house doesnt have secret rooms, but it us a labyrinth. Actually is does kind of have secret garage rooms.

  114. I would love to own your coloring book! I actually made one too (for my daughter) and have a few copies left. It’s nowhere as good as yours but I loved the creative, healing output of making it for her. I would love to swap you…one of your coloring books and I’ll send you a copy of mine? 🙂 KellyB@amain.com

  115. You do try to out the lurkers, doncha? Not that there is anything wrong with that. I would love a copy of your colouring (Yes, I am a Canuck, so the u in colouring is deliberate.) book. I have your first two books a and enjoyed the hell out of ’em.
    Glad the treatments are working for you. You give the rest of us hope.

    rileythegrinreaper@gmail.com

  119. I just really want to know whats in the other secret room now.
    But I would also be happy to have a copy of YOU ARE HERE or Furioursly Happy because i want to start a longstanding tradition of your books being the only gift my bff and I give each other. C_shrdn23@yahoo.com

  120. As much as I still want one for myself, I have a dear friend who NEEDS your coloring book, even more than I WANT one. Please 🙂 jjackson@kcbx.net And, thanks for being YOU!

  121. Who doesn’t love free stuff!?! Plus, I will cop to not having read any of your books yet, though I LOVE your blog posts. You’ve been helping through some rough patches of my own. You have super powers!! Who knew? Best of luck with your last treatments.

  123. I know someone with a birthday coming up that could desperately use your book. It would be extra special coming from you. I mean…birthday’s rock

  126. Love following your treatment, had it recommended for my intractable migraine (yeah every day for 6 years!) but couldn’t quite swallow the out of pocket cost. Of course I would love a copy of your coloring book.

  127. I have a friend who has been dealing with a LOT of not great family stuff and I’d love to have you send her one. (She also travels a bunch for work and I think this + wine would be good wind down.) Thanks!

  128. I would LOVE a copy! And I hope your treatments continue to help you! 🙂

  129. i would give my sister a copy if i won, because i know she would love it. she always finds cute, quirky things for me, but i fail at doing that for her.

  130. Hi Jenny! I’ve enjoyed your other books and would LOVE a copy of your new book.

  131. I do NOT understand why Victor won’t let you have a crowbar. And yes, please, coloring book! tabor330 at gmail

  133. Well, let’s try this again. Yay for TMS working! (Boo to WordPress for being mean to me when I tried to comment)

    I would love a copy of either – I never got around to getting the coloring book and would love a hard copy of Furiously Happy.

    Thanks, Jenny!

  136. I could totally use a coloring book… I have these fabulous coloring pens and nothing to color!

  137. I’d like one; i gave mine to a friend who needed it more than i did. But now i need it again and i don’t have it

  138. OMG I’ve totally missed that you found a secret room, and now I’m freaking out because the secret room thing is one of my recurring dreams … more like nightmares.

  139. Secret rooms are probably more weird than cool in most instances. They hide the skeletons

  141. I would love a copy of You Are Here. I bought a copy for a friend last year and she was like “omg you need a copy too!” and I just haven’t gotten around to it. Thanks for the opportunity! <3
    megan@megasus.net

  142. Jenny I love your writing so much. I often read your posts out loud to my husband when he hears me cackle and asks what I’m laughing about. I’m so glad that you are having success with this treatment. I hope that Hayley could sleep last night after the secret vampire room discovery.

  143. I would love a coloring book! I loved your other books also, laughing out loud at the dentist office will get you some really strange looks!

    dkipps@live.com

  144. I’m re-re-re-reading Let’s Pretend This Never Happened because I needed a break from the rest of the options out there. Most everything just depresses me beyond words. You don’t. I’m laughing and it feels amazing. It might actually be the 7th time reading? Possible 8th. Makes my family seem way normal. So thank you. I think. And sorry. 😂 Coloring would also make me way happy!!! Mostly just thank you for bringing us all together anfgiving our individual crazy voices a collective sane tone and a safe place. I’m so joyful you’re feeling better! I hope it continues. #KKMF

  145. You have no idea how much I need this book right now. I have been facing down so much of my trauma in therapy and the battle has felt way too big for me to fight this week. It would mean the world to me to have a copy. Thank you for being so great. And for lighting the way. My email address is ms.phina@gmail.com.

  147. I’d love to have a copy of You are Here. Hope the TMS treatments continue to help….the world needs more Jenny Lawson!

  148. I bought a copy of You Are Here for my daughter, secretly hoping she might forget it when she went back to college…but she didn’t! I’d love to have one of my own 🙂
    sadlersull@gmail.com

  154. Oh my God yes, please! I’m currently potty training a toddler and I could use all the amusement/distraction I can get. I’ve listened to the Let’s Pretend audio book more often than I can probably count, and I love Furiously Happy. Honestly, I probably reference your childhood stories more often than my own, and I realize how creepy and awkward I sound, but I’m sure you’ll understand. kyrstin.arellano@gmail.com

  160. Would love to have a copy – want to share with my daughter who needs all the wonderful I can grab for her right now. <3

  161. I’m in need of a copy of You Are Here since I gifted my sister the one I originally intended to keep for myself. You are so funny and I’ve loved all that you have done for years. #unintentionallycreepy

    katjagifford@hotmail.com

  163. Hi! I’m just leaving a quick comment to say yes, of course I’d love a free book (I’m not a monster!) but I live in Canada so if that makes you not want to randomly pick me, of course I understand. But right now I have to go read about your secret room! I’ve always dreamed of finding a secret room in my house. Do you think it’s like the horrible red room in the Amityville Horror? Oh god, I hope not!
    Here’s my email:
    marylavers@gmail.com
    or
    cozylittlebookjournal@live.ca

  165. I am Furiously Happy that you are offering to send me a coloring book.
    A Dangerous Mind often needs the distraction of a coloring book.
    May I suggest another fun distraction for my fellow Dangerous Minds – the For Strange Women shop at: https://www.forstrangewomen.com/
    (But, since you’d rather me not advertise for products on your Blog…..Let’s Pretend This Never Happened.)
    Love,
    Kaye – yfkaye@verizon.net

  174. Yes, totally want a coloring book to gift to the friend who introduced me to your blog. She loves coloring books but doesn’t buy them for herself because then she would never stop.

  175. Today this child welfare social worker is struggling, there is a lot of bad in the world. Does colouring help? If so, I would like a book. Thank you.

  183. I’d love a copy of any of your books – Furiously Happy is me favorite gift to give, and I don’t yet have a copy of You Are Here. Thank you for your utter uniqueness – you help me remember that I’m connected (even to all the &*#%-up crazy shit – perhaps that’s the best part:) My address is PO Box 7, Hanover, NH 03755

  187. I would love a copy of You Are Here for my friend (to whom I just gifted a copy of Furiously Happy).

  188. My almost 12 year old son Cameron adores you and your books (as do I) and with the arrival of his first and only sibling 11 days ago would love the gift of You Are Here from you, he already has well worn copies of Let’s Pretend This Never Happened and Furiously Happy ❤

  190. Dearest Jenny! You have helped me more than you will ever possibly know. Your strength has been a beacon for me in my dark moments and I share you with anyone who will listen! I have your book, and love it!! I think my aunt would love it too and would love to send her a copy! Thank you for being in this world!!

  194. Ooooohhhh! Coloring books! Oooohhh! Yes, please! Coloring books are awesome and I would love one, but I’ll probably go ahead and buy one anyway, because who has that kind of patience?

  196. Yay! I have gifted many of your coloring books to people who need them. I would love another one to gift out!

  198. I have a copy of You Are Here, but my brain weasels tell me that I’m going to color the pictures in it wrong, so I haven’t been able to make myself color any of them. I can’t really afford to buy an extra copy at the moment (to shut the brain weasels up in a “Look, I have an extra copy to leave pristine!!” sort of fashion), but I would love to have one! 🙂 Email is drumwench@gmail.com

  200. I can’t believe you’re almost done with TMS! Wow! It went really fast for me but then again, I wasn’t the person with a woodpecker trying to reach my brain. I’d love a copy of your book. It’s the only one I haven’t yet purchased because I’m afraid I’ll make a mess of it by using all the wrong colors and coloring outside the lines.

  201. I would love a copy of your coloring book. I have read both your books and listened to them as well. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard. Iit was a great feeling . Thanks for all that you do. What you go through every day is amazing and I’m glad you are so open to share it with all of us. Hopefully together we can all find our way through the issues we deal with.

  203. Tore my Achilles tendon and am laid up! I would love to spend this time coloring!

  204. If you are mailing internationally I would love a copy for my 18 year old daughter who has been struggling with anxiety issues for 4 years. Happy to cover postage 😀

  207. I used to color. All the time. But I lost my joy. And my job. And I’m slowly losing my mind. And my will to live. Just breathing is a chore. Thanks for the encouraging words to help us not feel so alone on this journey.

  209. This is so great! I really hope you will be okay/get better after this. Thank you for all your work Jenny, we love you and you matter!
    I would love a copy of the coloring book, if you don’t mind mailing it to France, iin case you pick me.

  210. I love reading your blogs and books, you always make me laugh. I would love a copy of your book, especially if it came directly from you! Also, maybe you should call Amy Allen from the Dead Files to check out your secret rooms!
    thepigsx3@yahoo.com

  211. Would love a colorbook😄 The bogof melon story and the metal chicken one made me lol.

  214. I would love a copy! I love following you and your blog. I relate to so much of what you write about, it helps me feel less alone in my struggles. I think you are incredible! Keep on fighting <3
    rosemary.gresiak@gmail.com

  216. I used to color. All the time. But I lost my joy. And my job. And I’m slowly losing my mind. And my will to live. Just breathing is a chore. Thanks for the encouraging words to help us not feel so alone on this journey.

    ddgaine@gmail.com

  218. Omg yes plz! Of course, if my mom finds out I have one, she’ll destroy me in my sleep and take it for herself! (We’re both huge fans, lol)

    sambubrad@msn.com

  224. Am at one of the lowest points in my life and could really use a real pick me up. Am an artist but cannot seem to get going. Would be a really nice kick start. Glad treatments are working for you.

  225. 33 down and 3 to go… sounds like a good title for something. Thank you for sharing this experience. The depressed Ramesch sisters love you furiously. Also I’m not a monster and a free book would make my year. I’ll be refreshing the page constantly at JJRamesch @ gmail.com no spaces.

  226. I would love a coloring book. I fell the other day and broke 2 toes, sprained my ankle, and dislocated my kneecap, so it would cheer me up. In fact, I don’t really need a coloring book, and I’m sure there are other people who are more deserving, but am just posting this so somebody will say, “You poor thing. Have another Vicodin.”

  228. I have a secret room! We call it the secret playroom and each of my kids have the ny doors in the bottom of their closet to get in. My teenagers don’t have much use for it anymore, but it’s the perfect room for quiet and solitude. College is not so far away and then I get it back. We had it put in when we built our house.

    You are Here was one of my top 3 books that I purchased last year, I sat down and read it cover to cover on arrival. I would love a copy to gift to my best friend.

  230. I would love a copy of either book. I have Lets Pretend but neither of the other two and I love you!! Thank you for being you and helping me know it’s ok to not be normal!

  232. I’m so glad the TMS is working for you! Furiously Happy would be great. I know someone who needs to read it.

  236. I love your generosity! No need to send me a coloring book – there are others that need it more. Many blessings to you. Happy back to school for your girl!!

  237. JENNYYYYYYYY!!! you’re almost at the end of your treatment, I’m so proud! :”’)

    I would love to have your coloring book, but I don’t know if you’ll be sending it internationally ;; SO, even if I don’t have it now I still wish you good luck with all the secret rooms u might found <3

  238. Free book? How awesome is that? Almost as good as only three treatments left! I sometimes get SAD in the winter, but we don’t have enough magnets in the county so I see an acupuncturist and she sticks needles in me like I am some kind of voodoo doll. The thing is, though, that I really enjoy it.

  239. Love this blog so much!! You are always an inspiration! Would love to have You are Here book

  241. Hey Jenny,
    Accidentally discovered your blog a few years ago & believe me, finding anything that can both make me laugh and have someone to relate to mental health wise is a gift! Also, I’ve been following your TMS Treatment journey. I have tried to gain insight into it over the years (As an alternative to ECT for myself) and yours is the first personal experience story I have come upon. Thanks for sharing it.
    Well I’m exceptionally new to this but I imagine some would call this pulling the cancer card – I sure as hell hope it isn’t. My partner /wife was very recently diagnosed with Stage 4 terminal cancer (adenocarcinoma). She had her first chemo treatment this week, starting on Monday July 30th. I got her a couple of pocket sized coloring books and now she is obsessed! So if she gets chosen that’s awesome, but no matter what I am going to be sure I get her a copy otherwise 😺
    Thanks for sharing ALL of yourself ,
    Dani
    (My wife’s name is Angie)

  242. I would ❤️ To get this book.! And good Luck with finishing your treatments!

  243. You are here. I am here. I would like to read about where you are. I can tell you about where I am if you care to know. Is it clear I WANT a copy of the book? if not, I would love to receive a copy. I would colour it fabulously – in and out of the lines – it’s how I roll.

  244. I could seriously use a copy of Furiously Happy right now. I have been a bit furiously sad and eating wayy to many cookies. I have your first book and I loved it. Congratulations on the success of the treatments. I don’t comment but I’m a follower from way back. Such a great group of people. Love and light to you Jenny. ♡

  245. I already have Furiously Happy so I would love a copy of You Are Here! Vickie@gpccorp.com – PS I read your giant chicken story to a bunch of chicks who were on a cruise with me and when we got back to New Orleans one of them sent me a text all excited!! She found a metal chicken!! Every time we see each other now she yells out KNOCK KNOCK MOTHER FUCKER!!! We love you!!!

  246. Jenny, ever since I ‘discovered your writing’, I’ve related to SO much you’ve dealt with!
    It’s amazing…at times I believed I was the only ‘ different duck’!😂
    You truly DO give hope to the rest of us that have suffered for so long, thinking there was
    Never going to be ‘peace’ in our chaotic brains!!😊
    Thank You for not only lifting our Spirits but for sharing your Path’s progress thru your
    current treatments!😊❤️

  248. I have a friend who has borrowed all of your books from me and is currently going through a divorce and with her depression it makes it all harder. I would love for her to have one. ashleycriv84@gmail.com

  251. Hope you’re finding the TMS treatment to be helpful. One of my best friends has been fighting with insurance to try it herself and has experienced a lot of pushbacks.

    I will be gifting her with this book in light of your willingness to share your journey and as a self-care measure for her.

    Cmwhelanedu@gmail.com

  252. I would love one! I think your drawings are crazy-beautiful. hstorm799 {at} gmail {dot} com

    Also, secret rooms are the best. Corn nut? No. It’s definitely the human tooth that falls out when the new vamp fang comes in.

  255. Hello Jenny!
    Book People is the best. Alas I’m 1111 miles away so can’t meet up. I’d love a coloring book from you. I’ve not colored in an adult styled one.

  256. I’d love to have a copy of your “You are Here” book. Keep on keeping own sis!

  258. I already have You Are Here, but I would love a copy for a friend or a paper copy of Furiously Happy (I read the e-book). Thank you for being you, Jenny!

  260. Jenny…you slay me! I tell all my friends about your books and encourage them to read them. I’d love a copy! 💕

  263. Reading your experiences with TMS has been like finding an oasis in a parched and crumbling desert. We’ve all followed like expectant moms and dads. Oh, how I wish I (or she) could afford it for my beloved daughter. One, one day! In spite of the ninth circle of Hell (hello, Dante!) you’ve often been condemned to, you realize others there somehow lack your wit and glimpses of joy to cling to by the fingernails, and are doomed to only relentlessly humorless despair. Thank you so for doses of hope.

    And, ah, three’s the magic number, Sweet Cakes!

    If enough, I’d treasure a coloring book.
    Suzanne

  264. I would LOVE one of your beautifully illustrated coloring books! 20 years ago, my illustration mentor published her illustrations for adults to color. She was WAAAY ahead of her time!

  267. OF COURSE I want a free book. This week, I feel like I’m becoming my grandmother. What…I need hearing aids?

  269. The library where I work has a monthly coloring night and I would like to donate a copy of your book.

  271. You’re so nice to give away copies of your amazing coloring book. I have a copy and I love mine. My mom just had surgery today, she’s in recovery and doing fine, but I would love to give her a copy to color while her body gets back to normal. My email is faith.swick@gmail.com thanks for all you do and who you are ♡

  279. Hi Jenny, Christa here from San Diego, CA. I’m currently reading your “Let’s Pretend This Never Happened” book and I’m having a blast reading it! I love your personality, your stories make me laugh so loud! I would love to have another book of yours lined up to read/color next. kenzie6488@gmail.com

  280. I would LOVE a coloring book! Or a secret room. But since I don’t think USPS ships those, a coloring book will have to suffice. Oh, P.S. I recently heard your Hometown on MFM and my worlds collided in the most amazing way. #SSDGM MF’ers!

  282. I could really use one of those coloring books. Been jobless for 2 years, catless since October, anxiety is at an all time high, shall I go on? sigh Waiting to see if disability is going to be accepted.. and sleep? Nowhere near enough lately ☹️

  283. Your stories, insights and random thoughts never fail to put a smile on my face. I have read your first two books (loved them! and have passed them on to several people since… you’re welcome!) and would love to read (and color) “You Are Here”.
    You are such a gift of a human, and so many of us are very grateful to have you in our lives – Can’t thank you enough for sharing yourself.
    Best of luck with the last 3 treatments!

  286. WELP, the blog link didn’t work so here’s my address: unpopularsuggestions[at]gmail. Stupid technology.

  287. I have a daughter who would love to have a copy of your coloring book. My e-mail is vbalbert (at) gmail (dot) com.

  290. A) I love the way you write!
    B) I need your book. Fingers crossed I get one.

  291. My therapy homework is to color some stuff because apparently, that’s a “healthy coping strategy” I need to try. Pfft. What does my therapist know, he’s only got a PhD in Psychology. Not in coloring books or something FUN.

    No, but seriously – I love your work and as someone who is struggling right now with PTSD and a plethora of neuroses, I find your writing very validating and encouraging. So, thanks!

    kellyapayton@gmail.com

  292. Your stories, insights and random thoughts never fail to put a smile on my face. I have read your first two books (loved them! and have passed them on to several people since… you’re welcome!) and would love to read (and color) “You Are Here”.

  296. I am posting a random comment in the hopes of being a random You Are Here winner:

    Butterbean quartz mimeograph. The sequel.

    Also, if I do win, please don’t draw a cat penis, because I don’t know what a cat penis actually looks like, and I don’t want any spoilers. Other penises are fine, though.

    trb2@domtopnotary.com

  298. If you have anymore of copies of furiously happy, I’d love one. I borrowed it from a friend but I would love to mark it up and be like “this here is how I feel” bc it’s hard to express how I feel sometimes…and you were so SPOT ON.

    PS. HOORAY FOR THREE MORE TMS TREATMENTS!!!! (I’M NOT SCREAMING, JUST REALLY EXCITED!!!)

  299. I’d be deleriously happy with either the colouring book (which I’ll happily share with my 5 year old) or your book 😀
    I’m so glad your treatment is working. I’m lucky in that my pills and therapy sorted my silly brain out. Much respect to you for persevering.

  300. Hi Jenny. This sounds bizarre and pitiful, but I retired in May and it is NOT fun. I spent most of today playing Pyramid (solitaire on computer). I know I need to be patient with myself and the process, but . . . . So, have all your books. Love you madly (but from a respectful distance). Maybe coloring will help? Met you at Erma a few years ago, but I’m not feeling funny now. Thanks for reading. 4katemahar@gmail.com

  302. My bestie and I would love copies of You Are Here:) Your livetweet of the secret room is better than anything I’ve seen on TV in a long time!’

    Email:khantzmon@gmail.com

    I love you so much:)

  303. I am so thankful the TMS is working for you! Hooray❤️

    I have my own coloring book but would love one for my friend Jill who has adhesive arachnoiditis, a very nast and incurable disease. We read your blog and love you!! She is stuck in bed most of the time so when you make her laugh it is wonderful! Thank you.

    You can reach me at marilynkparker@gmail.com
    ❤️

  304. I’m glad to hear you are doing well and your treatment is helping. It’s so encouraging to hear that there is hope in beating this. I would love to win copies of your books. Especially the coloring book. Coloring helps so much on my bad day. yokleyh@gmail.com

  305. My 9 y.o. daughter and I were glued to the Secret Room twitter feed. It’s just one more way we get to bond. 😉

  306. LOVE you,girl !!! And, yeah….I’d LOVE a coloring book,too ! As I NEVER said in school: “ pick me, pick me, pick ME !!!! “

  307. I love your writing and have been going through a rough time lately. Your stories always pick me up. I would love a copy of your coloring book! Thank you for everything you do to help us all survive this crazy life! elise0716@gmail.com

  309. OMG, I’m scared because I feel weird asking for stuff but here goes – yes please, I would love a coloring book! AGH – I did it! headkumquat@chaotickumquat.com. Also – I love you anyway, and I will still love you if you don’t send a free coloring book AND…OMG the secret room in your house is SO cool!

  310. I don’t comment a lot or often, mainly because I worry too much about what people will think about my ridiculous comments. But I am so glad you have found a treatment that so far as been successful! I hope this continues to be a positive thing for you, well beyond your last 3 treatments!

    As for a book. I really could use a pick me up. I’ve been struggling a lot as of late, and it’s that time of year for me, where grieving is the emotion du jour. I’ve got a lot of things to grieve over. August is a month that seems to really hate me. Plus my doctor is cross-fading my meds, so it’s all a hot mess, and I cry all the time, and think everyone hates me.

    If I don’t get picked, don’t feel too bad, I know whoever does get picked, it will make all the difference they need. Plus, I’ve got my own Victor-type partner who’s pretty great at helping me weather the storm. Thanks for sharing what you do with the world.

  311. Thank you for being you, Jenny. I would love a copy of either of your books I don’t have a paperback of furiously happy, though I did download a mobile copy. I do have a copy of your coloring book and I think it’s fantastic, in fact I just bought one for a friend who lost her backpack with her coloring books and pens at the Folk Festival here in Winnipeg, it ended up coming back to her because people are awesome, but not before I bought the book so I gave it to her anyway. So if I won, either of them would be wonderful, I would just pass on the coloring books to someone who is in need of amazing words and inspiring pictures.

  314. I would so love a coloring book. It’s 324 days after Irma, and I’m still a mess. Following your treatment is giving me hope.

  315. Okay, I’m a little late to the game. If you have any copies of “You Are Here,” I would be so grateful to have one. I bought one, but before I could enjoy it, I gave it to my boyfriend’s son, who was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder and is going through an especially rough time, as you can imagine. I kind of need some distraction, though — my 11 year old Schnauzer was just diagnosed with Diabetes and I’m having a hell of a time trying to get his blood so I can test it. This is on top of his Cushing’s disease. Oh, and he just developed pancreatitis (hopefully it’s just acute). He’s my world, and I’m so worried about him that I’ve developed an itchy rash!

    Oh — and good luck with your next 3 treatments! I pray that they go well. They seem to be really helping, and that makes me so happy!

    My email is vcaine@meyerslaw.com. 🙂

  316. I would love a copy of You Are Here. It’s been on my wish list since it came out but I haven’t been able to get it yet. I also just wanted to say thank you so much for being so open about your struggles. I am on medication for my severe depression and anxiety finally but still having trouble finding the right dosage or medication, I don’t know but it doesn’t always feel like it is doing much. I have been ready to just give up taking it but reading about your journey and struggles have made me continue with it. Thank you for all that you do.

  318. I’ve been telling my husband about your new treatment (he has a similar diagnosis), and I’d love to give him a copy as an introduction. You’re very generous!

  321. Would love a copy of “You Are Here” to help kill the time while docs try to figure out why my immune system hates me so much and is determined that I shouldn’t go anywhere. It’s destroying my muscles, so I’m fairly home bound for the moment.

    On the good side, after ten months of this I’ve finally found a doc who is taking me seriously and is attempting to figure out why.

    I’m trying to look on the bright side.
    It’s now August…in Las Vegas.
    No need to go out where the sun tries to kill you daily. 😀

    MagnetForTheMildlyDeranged@gmail.com

  322. I gift your books to people all the time and I would LOVE to pass You Are Here to my bestie! (seriously, at least 6 copies of Furiously Happy, because it changed me and I want to spread the love)

  323. I have a copy of your colouring book, but I HAD a copy of Furiously Happy, but I lent it to a friend who never returned it. I’m not mad, though. I feel like if she kept it, she probably needs it and should keep it. But now I have to get another one. If you have any lying around, I’d love one!

    Also, I know you already had a story on the podcast, but you HAVE to send the Secret Room story to My Favorite Murder. They love that stuff, as you know.

    Anyway, my email address is kristiclittle@gmail.com. Thanks!

  324. Also apparently I don’t read really well, so here’s my email address as a totally separate comment.

    metasynthesthia @ gmail.com

  326. Thanks so much for offering a coloring book. I am a huge fan of yours and coloring books! What a great combo!

  327. I would love a copy of either! I just “discovered” you today thanks @Stonekettle Station!!! Looking fiorward to reading more😁

  328. I would love a copy of your coloring book even though I slipped in a puddle of water at work last week and broke my right elbow, so I can’t color right now. Well I could but it would look like someone with no concept of coloring had tried to color in the book. So when my elbow has healed and they try to make me do boring physical therapy I could just say I’ll just color in this awesome coloring book instead. Lsharik@austin.rr.com

  329. Hey Jenny!

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all the TMS updates. It really seems to be helping you and that gives me hope. Not nessesarily that TMS will be my solution or even that it is yours… but seeing someone else have hope (your crying in the car video killed me in the best way) gives me hope. I just lost a dream job/career because my stupid brain keeps trying to kill me and when that won’t work it just fucks up my concentration and poof there goes my nice functional life… So I’ll admit I’m feeling a little sorry for myself, and I could really use a funny word or a colouring book. 🙂 I’m sure there are much more deserving folks than me though… so not to worry. Just thank you for being there and sharing and being you. You’re awesome.

    BTW – I just finished the autobook of Furriously Happy, and yes it’s funny in print… but with your voice directly in my brain via my ear holes…. I had to pause a couple of times just to breath… I know you pretend you’re good at it, but damn, I really don’t think you need to anymore on that one. You rocked it!!

  334. I just discovered your blog a couple months ago and I’m totally smitten! So glad to hear your treatments are going well. I just ordered a copy of Furiously a couple days ago and would love to have a copy of your coloring book! Thanks for this giveaway 🙂 omotet@yahoo.com

  336. I am LOVING the mysterious attic room live-tweet. Over the years, you are my go to when it all just feels like too much BS. Thank you for your direct and authentic sharing of your life. <3

  337. I just started back to work after years of struggling with my mental health issue. ANXIETY AND PANIC. So for so good! Small lil pizza place so not a lot of people to be scared of. JENNY YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION. And I love to colour. Yes please, I would dearly love your book. 😄

  338. I just started following you as I am getting ready to start TMS treatments. You are amazing, real, and super funny. Thank you for your blog! I would LOVE a book. ❤️

  339. One of my very good therapist friends needs a coloring book for herself and one for a client. I’m getting around to buying them eventually but my to do list is currently larger than my capacity to adult. I gave out three for Christmas and I have 2 of my own. It’s one of my very favorite things.

  340. Good luck with the last few treatments. I’m so happy they seem to be working for you! I have bought multiple copies of your books and then I pass them on to others when I think someone needs a good laugh or cry or both. If you choose me I’ll probably end up giving it away too but maybe I’d keep one directly from you. I could use a good laugh or cry or both.
    joyetower@gmail.com

  342. OMI GOD! I WANT A SECRET ROOM! PLEASE GOD LET ME HAVE A SECRET ROOM. sorry for the yelling. that was the most exciting concept to hit my day, ‘specially because we’ve been talking about remodeling our bathroom because Lord, I love this man but I need TWO SINKS because he is always there blocking my way when I want to use it. He manspreads in front of the sink. And, he doesn’t want to knock down a wall because we would have to spend more money on taxes and what not and I need a crow bar. To find the secret room. For my sink.

  344. I’m here & would always love free stuff but just happy to see you’re doing so well.

  345. Good luck with these last treatments! I would love to have a copy of Furiously Happy. I checked it out from the library when I read it. I would like to be able to read it again and again but I would LOVE to be able to loan it to my friends. I’m always talking up your work. I am the designated storyteller at a women’s retreat I do every spring. I often read a blog post of yours (3 out of 4 years!) and then tell everyone about your books. Thanks for the light you bring to the world! Feel better, Jenny!

  346. Ah, my dear!! I have been trying to get a book for EVER!!! I’m always too far down the list of comments….
    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE…….. ?????
    And…. thanks you. I love you.

  347. I would LOVE a copy of any of your work to hand out to the next person I rant and rave about you to. (My brain is telling me that may not be a correct sentence or even make sense but whateves I’m leaving it.) I do have a tendency of cornering people and chatting their ears off about your adventures. But of course in my excitement I never seem to retell it right or even in a straight line. (The beer fountain story went all haywire the other day.) It would be great to just hand them a copy and whisper, “read it, then call me when your done so we can talk about all it’s greatness.” Thanks for even offering this and even more thanks for just being you!! Sumrgrl@comcast.net

  348. Loving the secret room exploits😂. So refreshing! Would love a colouring book.

  349. Just FYI I saw You Are Here at Barnes and Noble yesterday in the bargain book area for 6.99. That is in Ohio, but maybe some other stores have it at that great price.

  350. I’d love a copy of your book! Annettehoward2015@gmail.com Madison Ohio Thank you!

  358. So, I’m working on getting in my 2,000 hours of peer support volunteer so I can be certified and return to the workforce. I think a copy of your book would be of great benefit to a client of mine. So I am humbally asking on their behalf. My Email is saraepowell518@gmail.com. thank you .
    Sara

  359. I have a wonderful copy, but I have a friend who I know would benefit greatly from a copy. Much love to you!!

  364. I have Kindle copies, but I’d be overjoyed to have a hard copy of any book of yours you’d feel like passing my way! Thanks for the opportunity!

  367. I would love one of your books (if you ship to Canada that is?)

  371. I hope your treatments continue to work! Sending you good vibes! Thank you for your kindness!

  372. Oh wow I would love a copy of that book! I’ve got all of your books except for that one. You definitely give us all hope as well as plenty of entertaining stories. Keep the wonderful posts coming! I love this blog!

  373. One of my good friends just moved three states away to the border of Idaho & accidentally got a great job. But she’s nervous that she won’t be enough. A coloring book would be amazing for her. Thanks for the giveaway!

  375. I’d love a copy! Your coloring books are so beautiful, and I could use some coloring meditation right now!

  377. Good luck with your last treatments! I have a friend who could use either You are Here or Furiously Happy. Also, I want a secret room!!!

  381. I would absolutely love a copy for one of my coworkers! I bought a physical copy of Furiously Happy just so that I could loan it out to them (one finished it and loved it, and then I foisted it onto coworker #2, 3 more to go after that!)

  382. I would love a copy of you are here. I’ve been looking in our little town with no luck finding a copy

  384. I’d love a copy of your coloring book! Not because I can’t afford it, but because I would really love to get it from YOU. If selected, I vow to pay it forward and send one to someone else from the list! 💜💜💜

    nikohlzha.42@gmail.com

  385. Yay to free coloring books! Gives me something to do while on conference calls while working from home!

  387. I would love a copy of You Are Here to help me calm my nerves about graduate school and interviews. Thanks for brightening my day.

  388. I would like a copy of “You Are Here”. I already have my own, but I’d love to give a copy to my friend. She’s been going through a tough time with work and family issues for the last year or two, which is causing her all sorts of stress and anger. I think taking some time to herself to color for a bit each day could help.

    My email: wiskey2000@gmail.com

  391. I would love to receive a copy of your book, not for myself, but for my mother, who is retired and widowed, sitting at home alone with her two fat Corgi’s watching crime shows on cable TV (her, not the dogs).

  392. You are amazing Jenny and I’ve been in awe of you since your first book came out, keep that shit up lady!!!!
    I’ve been wanting to buy your newest book for a while because no one has given it to me for any holidays even with the “hint” of, “I want the book Furiously Happy” but alas, kids are super expensive so Mom’s reading wants are not a priority.
    I don’t want to be greedy so IF you are so kind as to send me anything (I’d be stoked over a postcard that said simply, Words. Love, Jenny” LOL) I’d pick the coloring book because one:I love coloring but two: my kids have “borrowed/taken the 2 i bought for myself years ago so I stopped buying them for me.
    Also, I’ll totally be buying Furiously Happy regardless ASAP- promise!
    I’m happy that you’ve found something that is seeming to help you, I think all of your fans and those that love you want nothing more than for you to be relieved of your black cloud. You’re awesome!

  394. If I’m randomly selected, I’ll give it to my husband for his middle school library. He’s the teacher librarian, not a student 😉
    I have my own copy and my 6-year old daughter and I colour it together. Happy day!!

  395. Also I forgot to mention my old apartment had a gnome door in it. I also had a ghost who wrote I love you on my window so maybe that’s where he lived. I was too afraid to open it. I should have had you come over. I wonder if we could sneak back in…….
    PS: I’m totally going home to check my house for secret rooms and windows. It once took me two years to notice the doorbell on the hallway wall in a house so I bet I have one. I’ll report back.

  403. I just ordered and recieved my copy of You Are Here this weekend and its great! I plan on getting one for my mother who is staying strong against depression, anxiety and PTSD! mdishaw@gmail.com

  404. You are kind and smart and so generous.
    I’d love and need a copy of your coloring book.
    Good luck choosing your random winner!
    Remember: you’re a winner, too.
    Cabelle99@yahoo.com

  407. Love squabbles and quandaries 2 u! I would have graciously liked 2 have a book of yours while locked in the psych unit last week. As a fellow bipolar patient I was denied TMS treatment so I am congratulating you on getting treatment. I really need a book to focus raw depression on.

  410. I would love a copy, I want to give one to my therapist who hears about you all the time from me!

  411. I would LOVE a copy of You Are Here! I have an autoimmune disorder and have had trouble coloring because of pain in my hand but I finally found some gel pens that work great and are easier on my hands. I’ve colored everything in the house now. I definitely could use some more material. redheadgirl_97@yahoo.com

  413. Thanks for the giveaway! I’ll pay shipping to Canada if necessary 😀
    perrykd at gmail dot com

  415. My brother has been going through a super depression for the past six months and I’ve been recommending your books, to no avail. I would love to get my hands on copies to give to him but don’t have spare cash myself. So much love for you Jenny and (Spoilers!) can’t wait for you to regenerate Alternate Tenth Doctor with that tooth you found yesterday.

    penniellington21@gmail.com

  416. I still need a copy or You Are Here! You’re super sweet for giving some away!

  418. PPS: Remember that one time you tried to become a vampire? They were probably meeting in your secret room all along and were afraid you would find out and charge the rent so they rejected you. Just saying…..
    still at angel1671_99@yahoo.com…also just saying…..

  419. It has been a rough week and I could definitely use a little happy and some stress therapy and colouring is good for that! msdarkstar2u@gmail.com

    I’m not sure how I would explain a cat penis picture to someone looking at a book on my bookshelf, but then again, I’m someone who has “How to Win Friends and Influence People on the shelf of serial killer books, so….”

  420. Going to mail a care package to a friend deployed after my next paycheck (2 weeks), would love to add the coloring book for her!
    nicholeburkman@gmail.com
    Damn it, now i gotta get something for her to color with too…….

    I have been following your blog for a long time and I continue to share it cause you are funny as fuck and I am so happy that you are seeing real progress with that weird treatment thing. It makes me happy that someone I have come to know over the years is getting the help that they needed.

  424. You’re so generous! I would love to have a copy. I’ve wanted it since it came out but I’m out of work right now and waiting for a disability hearing so I haven’t been able to buy anything fun in a while. My email is mawillis78@gmail.com. 🙂

  425. Would love a copy of You Are Here! Good luck with last 3 treatments. Fingers crossed.

  427. First, your secret room story was awesome. Second, I applaud everyone who responded to your thread. The memes & GIFs that people used in responding to your story are EPIC and it made the entire Twitter thread that much more awesome.

  432. Coloring books and a new set of crayons are life. But I would also love Furiously Happy…whichever!

  436. I can’t wait to hear the rest of the story of your secret rooms. I’d also love to be entered to win a book. I might give it to my niece since those types of colouring books give me anxiety cause of the business.

  441. My best friend just finally made the decision to try TMS. She’s terrified. I’ve been telling her about your updates. I hope that it works for her. I already have your awesome coloring book but she might like one especially as she starts this new journey.

  443. I would also really appreciate receiving a copy of the coloring book. I have everything else! Really get a kick out of you. Glad your treatments are working! Love, Kathy

  447. I love free shit and would love ‘You Are Here’! You are an inspiration to me to keep fighting the good fight. Seriously, you are a bright light in my often dim world 🙂 campstover@yahoo.com

  448. I would love a coloring book! Also thank you for live tweeting the secret room…it saved my sanity while helping my 10-year-old download Minecraft mods 🤪

  449. I bought You Are Here for a friend when it first came out because they were going through a very hard time, but I didn’t get myself one. I would love a copy. I hope I win! 🙂

  451. Jenny,
    I’d so love a copy of your coloring book, “You Are Here”. A friend recommended your books to my husband and myself last year. So glad she did. Our small town library was able to get them for us, but having a copy for our personal library would be awesome. Then I would be able to color it.
    So happy for you that your “brain pounding” treatments seem so be helping. Everyone deserves to feel normal and be happy.
    Thanks.

  452. I could totally use a copy of your coloring book. My anxiety has spiked to new levels recently. I believe it is a combo of taking care of my mom full time and my daughter leaving after spending the last month at hone with me. Some days are just tough. So, your coloring book would be something I would love to have especially when I’m feeling down.
    Also, I’ve made some mini books for one of your mini houses. They are actually mini books of your own books. I thought they would look cute on your mini shelves. I just don’t know where to send them. Please let me know if I can send them to your publisher.
    Thanks!

  454. i would love a copy of your coloring book, but if i should win one i want to give it to a good friend who is going through the worst bout of depression i’ve seen her have. i told her about your blog and your TMS experiences, hoping she will come read and know she isn’t alone. good luck with the last three treatments , and thank you for this. and for lots of stuff. and and and… christ i’m awkward .. argh. :slowly backs away:

  455. I’d love a free copy of the coloring book!
    Your book “Furiously Happy” was amazing and the life boat I needed now. Thank you ❤️

  458. Not for me, but my friend Angela is having a tough go of it since her husband died of cancer in October. Today is their wedding anniversary. I have her address if she’s chosen as a winner.

  460. Hi Jenny,
    I think you are awesome and I am so happy that my friend introduced me to your books and blog. It is comforting to know that there are other people out in the world like me!
    I would love to receive a copy of your new book if you are still giving them out. My email address is rsmetauro@gmail.com.

    P.S. If I don’t get sent a copy I’m going to buy one anyways 😛

  462. Lately all of the coloring books are for the kids, but this big kid would appreciate one of yours. 🙂

  464. Sure. I’d love a book. But mostly I’d love for you to write another new one. 😉 Also, sending all my positive vibes for your treatments!!!

  467. I am living vicariously through you. I have always wanted to find a secret room with unimaginable treasures! I love your books. I just gave a copy of Furiously Happy to my friend to help her recover from surgery to remove cancer. She is a retired art teacher who would love a coloring book! Thank you!

  469. Thank you for everything. Because of you, I had the courage to open up about my depression/anxiety to my doctor and I’m on the path for a treatment plan with medicine. You are an amazing person. God bless you and good luck with your treatments!

  472. Do I want a free book?! That’s a dangerous question to answer without clarifying what book might be…I mean, it could be The Pictoral Encyclopedia of Tropicial Parasitic Infections, or an edition of “Twilight” in Laos Braille, or Camp and Houseboat Sanitation in Louisiana! (my dad actually wrote that last one!) But if it’s one of your books, then HELL YEAH, absolutelyfrickinlutely, and you bet your bippy!

  473. Need one for a friend who just started a new very challenging job that is pushing her to the max. Would love to give her something to help her through.

  474. I have all of your books and I’ve bought copies for those who i know would love them. I need you to write a new one, lol! ❤

  478. You are wonderful – in a crazy, beautiful, my-kinda woman (not the make out way, but the I could hang out with you way 😉), all around kick-ass, hilarious, take the hits and keep standing, prankster, awesome mom and wife, etc. etc. etc. ways! We share your posts all the time and LOVE them all. SO thankful for you and how you share EVERYTHING – you have no idea how much you brighten (and sometimes frighten – in a good way) our days! If you happen to randomly (🙄😉😘😁👍🤞) pick me (which really is us as I’d share – I promise), anything you send (ok, so maybe not anything because I really don’t want cat shit or something nasty like that 😜) would be awesomeness! And PLEASE do write something on it, in it, attached to it, with it… and you can go as far as you want with a message. We will happily move the line further out so there’s no way you can cross it with us. Just realized you this is too damn long and you probably already stopped reading it – NOOOOOO! 🤔😣🤐😢 Well, if you are still here, I am too! Love ya! carent@windermere.com Thanks and all the best to you and your bouncing brain treatments (seriously – sending lots of love, good energy, prayers – whatever it takes for you to feel better!) XOXO Caren and all her crazy family and friends 😘

  479. I have all of your books and bought copies for everyone I know that would enjoy them. I need you to write a new one! 💙

  486. I would love a copy of “You Are Here” because sometimes I don’t know where I am so it might be super useful in multiple ways. I do at least know that I am online at larenj@gmail.com.

  488. I’ve just watched Hannah Gadsby’s Nanette on Netflix and now I need some time for myself to think. Staring at a white wall gets boring and a bit depressing really quickly so a copy of “You are Here” would be much appreciated. But really, your blog posts alone make me feel more at ease with myself already.
    Also, I already own Furiously Happy and recommend it to friends constantly. Thank you for your texts!

  489. I already have all your books but would love to give a copy of either to my mom. Also, I just want to say that I’ve been having a rough time lately and your writings have truly helped me. Even though I’ve never met you I feel genuine affection for you and probably love you more than people I actually know. My email: kquinncornwall@gmail.com Also, this post is creepier than intended but I know you get it.

  490. I would love a copy of You Are Here! I want to get one to have on hand for my middle school students in my new librarian position!

  495. I would love a copy of the coloring book or Furiously Happy (I’ve read it but it was a borrowed copy and I want to read it again.). A secret room sounds like fun. The perfect place to hide from the world.

  496. Ugh! I can’t even follow directions because I’m going to all the closets to see if I have secret doors, too! Also, I looked at Bookpeople’s event calendar and didn’t see you on there. But I did see that they’re closing early on Sunday – are you going to get the whole store to yourself after you do your autographs? How cool would that be?!? Oh, and my email: bethfont@gmail.com 🙂

  498. I would love a copy of You are Here. I’m thrilled that your dip in emotions was just a dip. So happy for you. My email is kceling@gmail.com. Thanks for being awesome.

  499. Please please please pick me randomly for a coloring book. I need something engaging while I recover.

  502. I just finished reading “Furiously Happy” this morning and I guess I’ve begun stalking you this afternoon-in a good stalkery way. Of course I NEED a copy of your coloring book:
    pfilson@zephyr-tec.com

  504. The secret room thing is real, man. There’s a space in my house, about two feet by three feet, that is unaccounted for. I would love to rip open a wall and see why the hell they did that, except I’m convinced there would be a body, or like a bunch of rats or snake she that would instantly murder me.

    (Also, I would love one of your colouring books.)

  506. Omg congrats on the treatment progress! It’s so amazing to see your progress so far. It really gives hope that sometimes a light at the end of the tunnel, even if that light is provided with magnets. Or is it that the magnets are making the light by poking light through the tunnel, because magnets obviously can’t make light.

    Ugh, regardless. I’d love a copy of your coloring book because it looks amazing and it’s been a rough period of time for me and Furiously Happy is like my shield right now <3 abou827@gmail.com

  509. I’d love a coloring book, with or without a cat’s penis (with would be lost on my girl kitties anyway!)

  511. Woot! Free books! Also, I thought you should know that you are fantastic!

  512. This is the third time I’m trying to comment and hopefully this one will stick. I just bought a copy of Furiously Happy and am really enjoying it. I’m hoping I’ll get a chance at your coloring book but I understand that I’m late to the party.

  514. I’d love a copy of the coloring book! Your other two books got me through a rough round of depression last fall.

  515. Hi Jenny,
    I have just started working as an in home care provider to a disabled relative on top of my regular job and family duties and would love one of your coloring books. Thank you for considering me😊

  516. My girlfriend needs a copy of You Are Here. I just bought her a copy of Furiously Happy because she’s been in a depression lately and she keeps calling it her new favorite book!

  517. Congrats on your treatments! Of course, I’d love a copy of You Are Here. All my friends seem “normal” so anything to keep me sane, like coloring, will be greatly appreciated!

  519. I’d love a copy of your book. I’ve actually bought 6 but keep giving them away to friends in need

  520. I would love a copy of You Are Here to give to my Mum or Sister. I can’t decide which. They both color and I already have a copy. I might have to buy Mum some new gel pens as hers have “mysteriously” disappeared. LOL

    I have been following your Twitter feed about the “secret” room and it’s been keeping me higly entertained and out of my depressive “funk” that I’ve been in for a couple of week! I don’t know why Victor won’t let you have a crowbar! hahaha {hugs}
    Take the spaces out so that you have my email. I’m trying to slow down the hackers and internet thieves from spamming me. aset 13 @ yahoo . com

    {hugs}

  521. hi! i would LOVE a copy if your coloring book if you’d like! my friend whitney (from schuler books in lansing, MI) has recommended your work countless times and from what i have read, i have loved! thank you so much! <3

    hellobethanne(at)gmail(dot)com.

  524. Hi Jenny, I had my 14th TMS treatment today. Thanks for posting about your experience; it’s helped to ease my anxiety about mine.
    I’d love a copy of your coloring book!
    Name: Sarah Harper
    Email: sarahpharper@gmail.com

  525. I’d like another copy, please! I messed up some of my coloring (or maybe I did it on purpose since I don’t like to stay within the lines, whether it be coloring or everything else in life. My blog hasn’t been updated in forever so I’m not linking to it.

  526. “You Are Here” would make a wonderful addition to my coloring books- I do love to color. Sending goid thoughts for the remainder of your treatments! (I thought I typed “good thoughts” but I rather like “gold thoughts”, so I won’t correct it.)

  527. Thank you for this generous offer to those of us who adore you. I pre-ordered this book when you announced it, months before it was in print. I was delighted when it arrived and couldn’t wait to get started. Then suddenly it was my friend Pat’s birthday and she does all kinds of crafty things with paper and words and, of course, she’s a crazy like me, so I knew I had to give it to her. I’d love to show you the beautiful page she colored and the text she copied from your book (and mounted on art board) that she gave me for my birthday (which just happens to be today!). And I would love to be able to color a page for Pat and make her a gift like she made for me.

    Thanks for being you,
    rujohnson@me.com

    P.S. The page Pat colored for me is a drawing of an arched door with “You are Here” on the welcome mat and those wonderful words “there is a safe place inside you” on the steps. I feel calmer and safer just typing those words!!

  528. Best of luck wirh the last treatments. Sounds like a good thing. I wonder if it could help me??? I’ll look into it definitely.

    I would luuuuvvv one of your colouring books! My head is kinda scrambled right now and I need some calming.
    gingersnaps965@gmail.com

  530. Furiously Happy! ??? Yes, yes, yes! I have Let’s Pretend This Never Happened, and I want more of your books, but being an old la… that is, a woman of a certain age on a fixed income… I mostly borrow books from my library, wait for friends to gift me a book I really want to keep, or try to find a used copy in excellent condition. You jcould gift me a book I would truly treasure… (A request, not a hint.) Please, please, please.

    And congratulations on nearly finishing your difficult treatment! I’ve dealt with depression too, but meds work well for me. I’m rooting for you!!

  531. It is a special person that can touch people’s heart and funny bone! Thanks Jenny! I’m gonna check out your coloring book if I don’t win one!

  533. I’d love a free copy of Furiously Happy! I borrowed it from the library, never having heard of you before. Prior to this, I have NEVER laughed so hard or so much while reading a book. I have some anxiety & depression & love your outlook on life. It’s both inspiring & brave, which I think makes us all feel more comfortable to just accept who we are. Thank-you for doing what you do!

  534. I would love a copy of You Are Here; I gave mine away to friend in need and haven’t gotten around to replacing it yet.

    Even moreso, I’d love to see your secret room (does that sound to pervy?). Tell Victor that he’s wrong (so what else is new? 😉 ) and to hand over the damn crowbar.

  535. Yes please! When things are anxiety-inducing or just plain shitty, your writing always makes it all a little more bearable.

  538. id love a you are here. I gave mine to a friend in need. Andrearbearman@yahoo

  543. Thank you so much! I hope that the head pounding therapy keeps working. 🙂 I’ve recently been trying to talk my wife into listening to your audio books, to convince her that you’re amazing and she should read your stuff. It’s working! 😀

  544. Hi Jenny,

    I would love a free coloring book, if you even make it to reading stuff this far down. I just started a new job & feel like I’m already failing & I’m just one month in. I might be able to handle coloring though. Good luck with the treatments. Brains suck sometimes–especially mine.

    Ghostgirl314@gmail.com

  546. Having Furiously Happy would make me Furiously Happy. jana dot gauvey at gmail dot com (sorry I don’t post a regular email because I know that bots troll the interwebs looking for them)

  547. I have wanted your coloring book since forever! I’d love to have a copy. 😍
    jasry1202@live.com
    Now I’m off to read about your secret room. Seriously, you find the best stuffs!

  548. I have a copy (because I preorder everything you write) but I’d love to give a copy to my bestie. She does so much for her twins, I think a surprise would be awesome 😊

  549. I don’t need your coloring book (I already have it,actually) but my mom (who is also chronically ill) does.

    glitterysquirrel@gmail.com <—-In case I get picked.IF I get picked, there needs to be a super catchy, weird subject line or I’ll dismiss it as junk mail.

  550. I would love a copy of the coloring book!! Or anything… literally. You could sign a leaf and mail it to me and I would be happy.

  552. Oooooh! Your coloring book would be awesome! I’m so glad your treatments are almost over and that you are feeling positive about the future. I’ve got two of your books, and just love your writing. I was inspired by your embroidery photos early in your treatment, and my granddaughter and I are almost finished sharing the work on our design, “turtle flipping pancakes.” The two of us together are not nearly as prolific with the thread as you, it’s going as slowly as, well, a turtle, lol. All the very best to you, Jenny! <3

  553. Love your honesty and bravery!
    I would also love a book of your choosing! My fabulous meds have dulled my ability to feel strongly either way…
    And THANK YOU!

  554. Rachel.yingling@aol.com
    Confession: I made my husband listen to your audiobooks. I hoped it would give him insight into what living inside of my head is like 24/7…. but in an entertaining way. It did. More importantly it helped us communicate about my depression in a more loving way. I feel better about talking to him. Thank you. If an intern/assistant is reading this; you’re cool too. Thank you for your work

  557. Mine will probably get buried, but I would love a copy. I’ve been having a rough time at work lately and the bad things in life just seem to keep stacking up 🙁

  558. I would love a copy of You Are Here for my sister, because I love my own so much and we are each others’ mental health shoulders <3

  559. I would love to send a copy of Furiously Happy to a friend who is having a hard time.

  563. I too have a mystery space with one tiny door and clearly there is SO MUCH MORE SPACE WHAT IS IN THERE? My husband also will not let me crowbar. Husbands are so picky about that stuff.

  564. I own all the books so I am good, but thank you for your generosity. I love you. And I love the rest of you too.

  565. You may already know this but Neal Brennan also completed TMS and talks about it in his Netflix special. Worth watching if you haven’t already.

  572. I have 11 dTMS treatments left, and I’d love a copy of Furiously Happy. I lent my copy to someone after my husband and I read it, and they never returned it — and I can’t remember who I lent it to! Today my mood was an 8 even though my sleep was a 4! I am cautiously optimistic, and I don’t want to jinx anything. Savor the well-being!

  573. Thank you so much for the chance at a copy of your book! I absolutely love your first two books.

  574. omg I would LOVE a copy of your coloring book! It’s the only one of yours I don’t own at least one copy of…In my defense, there is an extra chapter in the paperback of your first book, so I had to have 2 copies, right?

  575. Dude. I’d love to fight my kids for the right to color in your book. sevillafox @ gmail

  578. I would love a copy of your coloring book, I keep buying them and furiously happy and keep giving them away as gifts, have gotten numerous friends hooked on your blogs and books. Can’t read your stuff late at night, I end up laughing out loud and waking everyone up. Feel great soon🤣
    Miknjamr@hotmail.com

  581. My teenage daughter—I wouldn’t want to live in her world; it seems very dark—told me just yesterday after her weekly therapy that she wants an adult coloring book to help with her anxiety. I won’t be able to afford one until my husband’s next paycheck, so one from you would be a godsend to her. Please PLEASE help Maddy?

    sara.t.petersen@gmail.com

  583. I would love a copy of your coloring book, I keep buying them and furiously happy and keep giving them away as gifts, have gotten numerous friends hooked on your blogs and books. Can’t read your stuff late at night, I end up laughing out loud and waking everyone up. Feel great soon🤣

  585. I’m pumped for you! It would be awesome to have a copy of an owners manual for dangerous minds, as I’ve been diagnosed with one (a dangerous mind that is) and if it would help me navigate even a little better I’d be so grateful.
    My email is train_thrua_pigeon@yahoo.ca. You rock!

  586. Congrats on the treatment! I’m so excited you’re doing so well!

    I work in a library and I’ve pulled both of your books recently for our holds list! It made me smile to know you’re circulating here in Alabama. 🙂

    I’d love the chance for a coloring book, however you decide that! Now I’m off to read about this secret room–intrigue!

  587. I would love a copy! Because of you, I learned about TMS treatment and finally feel hopeful about getting better. Thank you so much!

  589. Careful. The locked room either has zombies or weeping angels. Oh, or maybe the TARDIS Is hidden up there?

    I would love a coloring book but don’t another distraction to keep from writing. (probably the best reason ever to get one!)

    sjfilla@gmail.com

  591. So glad you are almost finished with your rTMS. It really helped my sone. I would love your book!

  594. I could really use something good right now. A book, a hello, anything really

  596. Wow – this is fun.
    1) Do not let Hailey get murdered or vampired. A garlic necklace might help.
    2) Don’t get murdered yourself or let Victor get murdered.
    3) If you have an extra copy of, “You are here:…,” I’d love a copy. (I’m sure that there are others that probably need a copy – they should come first.)

    I hope that your treatments aren’t so much like getting punched in the brain anymore. It’s awesome to watch you emerge back into the world!

  600. Good luck on your treatments! You got this!

    Second, I LOVE reading, it’s my life. I have re-read your first two books a few times. So having a copy of the next would be amazing!

    sarabrenner3@gmail.com

  602. You make other people, including me, so happy. I am delighted, thrilled, off my pins, dancing naked on the porch because you are feeling better. Be well.

  604. I would love a copy of Furiously Happy and my work bestie (who introduced me to your awesomeness) would like You Are Here. You are awesome! We want to be you when we grow up lol. If we ever do.

  608. I’m totally a cat lady. But also a dog lady. And I have a partner, so, I beat that cliche. Happy to hear the treatments are beneficial!!! You are so generous to share your work with fans. Thank you for helpr making the would a better place!

  610. Jenny, it would truly lift my spirits to receive a copy of YOU ARE HERE. My email is jsashdown@gmail.com
    PS, my doctor wants me to consider TMS, and because of you I know about it from someone actually going through it. Thank you!
    Jenn

  611. I’d love to have a copy of your coloring book! I actually have all your others, so it would complete my collection. ❤️

  614. I WOULD LOVE A COPY OF YOUR COLORING BOOK!
    I recently read Furiously Happy and it was amazing and wonderful and made me feel included and valid and not alone. Thank you!

  616. I could really use your coloring book. I’ve been extremely depressed for the past year, and when you’re a stay at home mum of twins, that’s not so good. I’m starting treatment soon because I’m finally admitting I can’t do it on my own, but I could really use your help.

  618. Yes! Yes!! Yes!!!

    I am facing three months of zero weight bearing cast time. A coloring book would be awesome!

    I am really hoping I get a color choice on the cast and that I can do tricks and/or race through the halls on my knee scooter. I plan to be a menace.

    dianalynn0825@gmail.com

  620. I’d love to be in the running for the coloring book!
    LOVED the saga of the secret room in your house 😂 You’re twitter account is simply the best!

    Kbegin4@gmail.com

  621. I would absolutely love a copy of either your coloring book or Furiously Happy! I’m 25 and just had a spinal fusion so I have a lot of time on my hands while I recover! My email is Fe_Marie93@hotmail.com 🙂

  623. Oh I would LOVE a copy of your You Are Here! Also super glad you’re feeling good. It makes me feel better knowing you feel better even though I’m stuck in a depression for the moment. I’m blaming all the retrogrades and just trying to breathe through it until they pass. But reading your funny little quips brings bright spots into the dimness. 🙂
    Congrats on your success, also you deserve a crowbar. Just saying.

  627. I tried to comment, and my own Word Press account hates me. So Idk, I think it got lost. Anyway, just wanted to say it would be great to have your book You Are Here, but mostly just wanted to say I like hearing that you’re feeling so much better. It’s giving me hope for my own journey. 🙂

  628. Sending good thoughts your way!! I’d love a copy of anything you’d send my way. I can’t keep track of all of your bookshat I’ve shar d with friends. It was a thrill to meet you in New Orleans for the book signing you did for “You Are Here.”

  631. You make me laugh even on the bad days. Thank you. I’d love a copy of Furiously Happy. I already have You Are Here and I really love it.

  632. I’d love one, but I live overseas, and I suppose shipping would be a hassle…but Furiously Happy basically saved my life when I was in a very dark spot. Thank you for that!

  636. I would love a colouring book, you have been a blessing to follow and show your journey, I only wish I could afford to buy a copy of your book as welll( needless to say life happened and money is tight)

  640. I’d love one because I feel like you are me. Or I am you. Or I am your mother. Or you are my daughter wait, that’s redundant. I am your father. No, I think someone else already said that…. Maybe we were twins separated at birth like those girls on that one Netflix documentary I’ve never watched. You know the one? I’m assuming you do. If you don’t, well, then maybe we aren’t the same and this whole post is completely embarrassing. Any who,

    simplyovaryacting@gmail.com

    Much obliged. (the grateful one…not the legal one)

  644. I am so happy to hear about your TMS treatment and am wishing you the best!
    I love your books and following your blog posts. Please consider me for your coloring book, I would really love it!

  645. I love To color and I love your Books… so I feel As though I need This in my life!

  646. If I got the book I would not give it away…I would keep it…but I would lend it out…but I would take a picture of the person first holding the book so I could remember who I lent it to. I thought I had a secret room in my house, but then I found out it was the kitchen and people cook stuff in there…it was so disappointing.

  648. I’m not in a good place right now mentally or financially, so a copy of you are here would be an absolute blessing that I desperately need. I probably won’t get it but it doesn’t hurt to try. Thank you for always staying in touch with us, whether it be through your blog or Instagram, it means a lot to someone like me.

  649. oooh, i would love a coloring book that also acts as a very vague map, telling me where i am!
    can i enter to be made happy from germany? if not and i am chosen i would have a friend of mine in the states who is also going through a rough patch win instead of me.. we share a first name, so it’s basically me.. que_tea@hotmail.com

  650. Wow – lots of people already responded! It is a very generous offer. I already have the book but would love one for my niece who has a husband with incurable cancer and she is only 46 (he is turning 49 next week)
    jenn5@rogers.com

  652. Hi Jenny-I hope you see this, lots of comments today, because I saw that you’re having your 33rd treatment-have you heard of the fisher-Wallace devices? I purchased one about 2 months ago and I think it’s really helping. It’s little sponges on the side of your head connected to wires and it emits pulses that help stimulate seratonin release. Painless and easy so far. Only 20 minutes twice a day. Might be worth looking at for yourself. And yes I’d love a free coloring book!! I filled up my other one:)
    Good luck!
    Cristin
    cristinwellner@gmail.com

  654. I already have all your books, but I would love a copy of You Are Here for my RAK recipient. I’m a member of an online group for people who have lost their spouses/partners when younger than 50, and this year a group of us have got together to send little gifts and cards so that we all know there’s someone out there thinking of us.

    My email is craftyDOTbunnyATgmailDOTcom (replacing the caps with the obvious)

  655. Can’t wait to see what is in the second box!
    And as for books (heck yay!) my daughter would be thrilled with a Furiously Happy book. I’ve actually bought her 2 so far, but she sometimes lives in facilities and she carries it back and forth and re-reads it over and over and just completely wears them out. Like I didn’t even know you could wear a book out, but she has.

  657. Hi! Am glad to hear that you are doing better. Also, I would like one of your coloring books.

  658. I’m so glad that these treatments are working for you! I’d love to be able to share this book with my parents! I appreciate you and all that you do!

  661. crosses fingers too YAY for things that help!

    Umm, somehow I feel guilty for putting my name in for a free book?!? (I have a weird brain that doesn’t want me to have free things from people because, well. It’s a stupid brain!)

    THAT said … I will deal with the guilt. blush Umm, please might my name be put in the draw for the free book? Please.

    thank you

  664. Hi 👋🏻
    I would ❤️ A copy of Furiously Happy 😡😊 maybe it could make this week better lol My son says it’s the only thing he has seen me actually laugh out loud at…and snort… and laugh so hard I cry…

    Thanks for the opportunity ❤️ And thanks for writing things to make the rest of us feel better

  665. I have a feeling this may turn into a Build A Bear situation. Nonetheless I would love a copy of your coloring book or any one of your books for that matter and also one for one of my daughters please. My email address is roellagriggs@yahoo.com

  666. I want a coloring book! Also, a secret room… and TMS… but a coloring book will do!

  667. I just pocketed one of those little boxes of three crayons they give to kids at Applebee’s. Now all I need is your book to be able to use rhem!

  668. Would love a copy of the coloring book for brightening dark days. I promise I won’t set THIS one on fire. Again. Cuz then the curtains end up smelling odd and the pet chickens think I’ve started smoking again.

  670. It would be awesome to receive a copy of your coloring book! Sandie

  672. I would love another copy! I’m always trying to explain what it’s like in my head-and your books are the best explanation I’ve found(that’s also funny so the explanation isn’t painful while folks learn…)

  676. I’d love a copy of your coloring book! But I understand if I’m too late, there sure are a lot of comments! <3

  677. I would love Furiously Happy if there are any left for sharing. Considering this appears to be comment #670 I’ll understand if they have run out…..

  678. I’m so late to the game, I doubt you’ll even see my comment, but I would love a copy of your coloring book. It’s the only book of yours I do not own.

  680. I would love your coloring book, because depression sucks and I could use the stress relief.

  684. After spending 2 weeks with my husband in the ICU, he is now on a surgical floor and likely to remain their for some time. I would love your colouring book to help keep my mind occupied so I don’t terrorize the hospital staff. Thanks for the secret room adventures – they made me laugh.

  689. I would love a copy of you are here! My adult daughte has GAD, PTSD, etc., and loves patterns and coloring. I would give it to her to help her de-stress when she needs to. It helps you!
    Thank you for the posts you make here.
    Acshook@gmail.com

  690. I would freak out if I discovered a secret room in my house, I am already paranoid of mutant spiders living in my walls which everyone keeps telling me is not how spiders work but they don’t know that, I have seen my fair share of big spider monster movies, I know how this stuff works.
    Anywho I would love a copy of You Are Here since it is the only one I don’t have and I definitely enjoy anything that can help me deal with the stress my anxiety causes me.

    imaginaryxdinosaurs@gmail.com

  691. Woo! I have loved reading about your TMS experience, and I am horrified Victor won’t let you have a crowbar for the secret room. I have an extension ladder and will bring it by! We will exorcise the critter from above Hailey’s head!
    ps-Could I get a coloring book? srharris279@gmail.com

  692. Hi Jenny! Um, Ms. Bloggess, may I please have a book for a friend? She’s going through a rough period & I know she would love your book – either/any of them. Thank you SO much!!! 🙂

  694. I was diagnosed with RA about a year ago. I’d had only minor swelling/pain, until this week, when I had a full flare. It was painful and scary and I’m in no hurry to experience another one!
    Today, I feel mostly normal and would love to have a coloring book, to celebrate being able to hold a pencil again! …for now.

  698. I could really, really use a coloring book cause the last few weeks have left me curled in a fetal position in the corner and having something to do while I’m there will keep me sane. Sorry, life is not my friend right now.

  703. I don’t need one, I want one for my artist mom who has broken her arm (her painting arm) and needs something to do in the Acute care and rehabilitation facility (nursing home).

  710. I would love a copy of You Are Here. This is my email address is: lrhyne02@telus.net

    Also, you wouldn’t know how to write Motherfucker in Thailandish, would you? Not that I’m Thailandish, I just want to put it on my thumbnail because it will make me feel like a rebel without having to BE a rebel.
    Also, I know the proper term isn’t Thailandish but at this particular moment I can’t think what the proper one is.
    Anyway, I would love a copy of You Are Here. :o)

  713. I would love a copy.
    I have to say “Let’s Pretend this Never Happened” is an amazing book. It got me through 2 1/2 months of sitting at my sister’s bedside while she was in a coma. I read it to her every night & during all the worry & tears, someone, you were able to make me smile and even laugh some times.

    Thanks again for being you!

  714. I would love another copy. I try to keep several in hand at school to give to students who I notice struggling. I hope it helps them the way it helps me.

  715. Furiously Happy was such a nice find a month or so ago. Was in Book People and noticed that raccoon on one of their main displays. I was happy to judge a book by its cover in this case. It kept me entertained while hanging out at my in-laws back in Michigan.

  717. I’ll never get chosen way down here, but I know just who I would give this to. She helped me when I was first diagnosed with clinical depression (with a side of anxiety), and now she needs help. In fact, if I don’t get a copy here, I’ll buy her one – why didn’t I think of this before-

  718. I have all your books. What I would like (and I realize this is a really long shot) is the tote bag you can color. I got one and gave it to someone who loves all your work and I thought they would want the bag, too. But they gave it away to someone else, instead of giving it back to me. Long sad story, I know. But if you have a spare, I would love to have one. I’d even purchase it or buy another book if that is what it would take. you can reach me at pegsfitbit@gmail.com

  719. I have to tell you how much you’ve inspired me. Your vulnerability, your humor and intelligence, your pure and utter weirdness that you 100% own.

    Speaking of which, I am now borrowing from your life while I fuck with a dating site scammer (because I’m bored, and my head hurts, and distraction is better than drugs). Sure, “Bryan,” I do taxidermy as a hobby. And then I place the stuffed creature on top of my cat and have a rodeo.

    I’d love your coloring book, Jenny. I have the others and treasure them. j_994@hotmail.com

  722. Jenny, I truly love you, and I’m pretty sure we’re almost best friends, except for the fact you don’t really know me, but you replied to one of my comments once, it was one of the best days ever! I’d happily order a book personalized by you but I haven’t a clue what I’d ask you to write. You always make me laugh out loud, then I get to torture whoever is around by reading to them! Double bonus!

  724. I would love either book! I’ve been following you for a while now (first time commenter) and I love your take on dealing with depression, anxiety, life in general. You and your family remind me very much of me and my family. (I too would purchase a giant chicken to put in my husband’s office window…) and the relatableness helps me feel very, not alone.

  725. Hi Jenny, I would like to have a copy of your book. I love the way you document your days and how you make events interestingly funny every time.

  726. I would love a copy Jenny! You are the funniest and most uplifting person I have ever read!

  727. I would LOVE a copy of your coloring book. I ordered some be today & I would share the one you send with my best friend. Who the fuck are you anyway & how have you been living in my head? I always think & day drastically funny, macabre shit & your book knocks it outta the park! My personal favorite is Weird on you badass motherfucker. I took a picture of it & put it up on my wall. I die laughing every time I read it. You’re the bomb, you crazy ass chick. Love……..joy

  728. I would be thrilled to have a coloring book. It’s just what I need to help me center and concentrate.

  729. Me! I know my days are numbered but I will need something awesome to keep me busy in between appointments. I love you and I love all the things you publish. You’re an incredible woman!

  730. OMG I am a volunteer with Pre-teens who have GAD- anxiety. I’d love 2 if possible!

  731. I’m so glad your treatments are going well! And I would love a coloring book to give to my friend, Jenny! I love, love, love my coloring book!

  733. I’m so glad your treatments are going well! And I would love a coloring book to give to my friend, Jenny! I love, love, love my coloring book!

  741. I have a friend who could really use your coloring book. It would really help her.

  742. I cannot begin to tell you how much I need a bright spot in my life right now. If you have one to spare I would treasure a copy of your book. <3

  743. Oh my. I wish I was in town to go to Book People. I would so love an inscription that included motherfucker. That’s the word I use when forced to register for certain banking websites.
    I’ve already bought multiple books to give to my grown children. They love the books, and we all love you.
    I hope your treatment is successful. You are worth it.
    If I did get a book, though, I’d give it to my best friend. Anyone who is a friend of mine is totally worth a book. Especially a book of yours.

  744. I will gladly trade you one crowbar for one coloring book. The fact that I own several crowbars and no coloring books has instantly become quite disturbing to me.

  745. I would love love love Furiously Happy! Also, thanks for all your tons updates-they have inspired me to look into it for myself.

  746. I would love a copy of You Are Here! Hope your last three treatments go well!

  747. I just read the secret room/I’m going to be murdered post-since I don’t do Twitter I will reply here: geez victor what’s your problem everybody needs s crow bar now and then. Second-in bigger houses it’s common to have 2 separate attic entries, in mine there’s one in the garage and one in our mb closet. To be fair, I haven’t looked up in either for creepy murderer boxes.
    Cristin

  749. I would like be the coloring book! I listened to Furiously Happy and I laughed out loud which is weird when you’re driving down the road by yourself. I’m glad the treatments are working for you. I am going to see if my Dr. would recommend them. He’s the one that told me to read your book!

  750. I would love if a copy of your book to give to my sister. We both struggle with depression and anxiety. She woul like to know that there are people out there that understand who we are because it is difficult to find people like us because people don’t talk about their mental illness.

  752. I would LOVE to win a coloring book from you!!! I’m so happy your trratmoseem to be helping. Good luck!!

  754. I’m probably way too far down this damn list but that’s good for you right?! Just imagine me waving obnoxiously and frantically down here 👋🏼🙌🤘🏼👋🏼🙌🤞PICK ME PICK ME!!! I’d love a coloring book to keep the demons in check. gailtarver@gmail.com

  756. Furiously Happy is on my list to read. Ugh, I think the universe is trying to get me to rethink my “No buying or starting any new books until you finish the others you have going and reread at least two of the newer books” ban.

  760. So I read the thread first and I AM GLAD YOU DID NOT DIE NOW GO WASH OFF THE ASBESTOS POWDER! (Seriously, though, did they still use asbestos in the 80’s??? I have no idea but that shit is bad so ya, wash anyways just to be safe.

  761. I currently have 3 copies of “Let’s Pretend This Never Happened” in My Amazon cart waiting on payday. These things must be gifted!!!

  762. I’d like to be picked. For a copy of You Are Here. Or your zombie dodgeball team. Either way.

  764. I would love to have a copy of your coloring book! So glad the treatments are working for you

  765. I so need a replacement book for Furiously Happy. My sweet puppy girl shredded my copy. This book was so important to me that I got the title tattooed on my foot as did my two sisters. ❤️ Please help a sister out and send me a copy!

  766. Have you thought about writing a book on TM ass? Not that I’m trying to add to your to do list but it would be interesting in hearing from someone who actually has had it done.

  767. My wife is currently sitting next to me in bed laughing out loud while reading Furiously Happy. So I asked what was so funny and she read me out loud the section here you describe the Pharmacist eating Dog Biscuits…I wouldn’t mind my own copy of this, partially since I do not see her putting it down anytime soon.

  769. SO This may be silly, but I have a copy. I want one for my counselor, because she rocks and mental health professionals need to color too!

  772. I would be delighted to win a copy of You are Here. It sounds like the creative medicine needed after an exhausting summer at work. Thanks for the opportunity.

  777. I have a coworker who is just coming back to work after a long health related absence, which I think is going to be stressful for her. She colors (beautifully) for stress reduction. I would love to have a copy of your book to gift to her.

  778. Of course I am not a monster so would definitely love a free book -coluring or otherwise. Your blog lightens my day and gives me hope that weirdness will prevail ♡♡

  779. Jenny, I already have “Furiously Happy,” but I have a friend with cerebral palsy who goes through bouts of deep depression, and I think she would really, really benefit from a copy of it, if you have any left at this late hour. Thanks so much! frogfarm@comcast.net

  780. Your progress is interesting to read, here’s hoping the treatment continues to work 🙂 i’m just about to buy furiously happy on kindle as I am totally blind and can’t see to read print. As a disability blogger who writes about mental health, I would be honoured if you could donate FH as part of my mental health, self care package giveaway that I’m going to be running at the end of the month 💛
    SassysWorld6@gmail.com
    All the best,
    Sassy xoxo

  782. Jenny, you rock. Simply put. My toothless cat is a huge fan. I know ’cause he purrs when I read your posts out loud. You could say he get furiously happy.

  784. Jenny thank you so much for your generosity always giving when you know we need it most. I am currently no longer in the possession or ownership of either book as I have gifted then to family and friends and would love new copies to be able to gift again if someone comes along. My mom has fallen in love with you and when she saw my copy of you are here it didn’t take long for it to fly home with her! <3. nerdswithsparkle@gmail.com. <3

  785. I’m so glad to hear that the treatments are working Jenny! You are a true inspiration lady!!!

  788. Would love a new coloring book if you have not drawn names yet 🙂

  789. I want a love like Jenny and Victor…but a coloring book seems much more attainable.

  790. My daughter gave me “Furiously Happy” for Christmas – I came close to doing lasting damage while reading and rolling on the floor just in the first few pages (not just the first few, that was just the beginning) Would love a copy of “You are Here” or any of your writings!

  794. I would love a coloring book. Jenny you are an amazing person. I’m so happy I found your books. I just started seeing a counselor. She wants to try EMDR treatment, have you heard of it?

    Auroranights23@outlook.com

  795. I got a copy of your coloring book and your other two for my sister’s birthday, I’d LOVE my own copy!

  801. Well, heres my attempt… with how crappy my week has been,I could use a pick me up. These planets in retrograde are really f-ing with me.

  804. Well, heres my attempt… with how crappy my week has been,I could use a pick me up. These planets in retrograde are really f-ing with me.

    Sorry. Had to retype because I couldnt edit to add my email… and now I’m done. Hopefully.

  805. Good luck with the last three treatments! I would love a coloring book!

  806. Laurie Preece
    Thanks so much for all you do help those of us who aren’t the best at coping with life and everything that comes with it
    I thought I posted, but couldn’t find it. I’m new.

  809. Hi Jenny,I’ve read your other books,but there was nothing to color in them,so I’d love a copy of this book,and yes my mind is a dangerous place to go!

  810. I always feel happy when I see that you made a new post. Your coloring book looks awesome and I’d love one. I also wish we were pokemon friends, but I’m going to guess you got 50 million requests after you posted your code. You’re awesome. Never stop being you. It won’t let me post with my email unless I log in to WordPress. I’ll just put it here. No one send spam please. ❤️ Lilac4334@gmail.com

  811. I would love to have your coloring book. You could write anything you wanted in it. Congratulations on the treatment working so well for you and that, in no way jinxes it. Promise.

  814. Way to go Jenny and I loved furiously happy.i just reluctantly returned it to the library and promised myself i would buy it asap!!enjoyed it so much.laughed til i cried and laughed even harder.you are the best girl. We love your coloring book and can’t wait to add the others to our library.

    smcconnell7.sm@gmail.com 😊

  815. Ur so awesome
    When I need to laugh, you make me laugh…when I need to cry, I cry with you …
    I need to color!
    your like the best friend I never met
    Love u Jenny
    Keep doing what you do

  817. Wow! It took a long time to scroll down to leave a comment. There’s probably a better way but I don’t know. I don’t want to be labelled a monster, so YES, i definitively want the free book. I already have it…I would gift it. Susan sforsmark@comcast.net

  819. Would love the coloring book / thanks for all you do but mostly for sharing your journey

  821. Not here for anything just wanted to wish you good luck for your last 3 treatments and to let you know your story of the secret room(s) made my dark day a bit brighter.
    Thank you for being so fabulous

  828. Please with the free coloring book from the lady who feels like a long lost sister from my odd tribe but whose way more successful than me with her uniqueness because you can actually write about it and people pay you for it, and before I forget – HeatherBrookeSmith@yahoo.com – and now back to my introvert hidey hole

  830. I would love a coloring book. I just can’t afford to get one. I have been reading your blog for years and totally understand you. You are like so many of my family members in a lot of ways.
    lkish77123@gmail.com

  834. I would LOVE a copy of your coloring book! I bought a copy and ended up giving it to a friend who suffers from severe anxiety and depression. I knew that your humor would be right up her alley! Of course, she loves it!

  837. I’d love a secret room but a book would be great too. Glad your treatment is going so well.

  838. I woyld love a coloring book. This has been a sad week for me. My favorite feral kitty got sick and i had to put Miss Izzy to sleep. I miss her very much.
    Tracy
    Tracy.reed@voya.com

  839. I have become obsessed with your blogs after listening to your books on audible. Thank you for being yourself and sharing your highs and lows. I am so happy to hear your treatments are going well and I have been following your secret room drama & was completely enthralled!! I would love a free book- signed by you would be a wonderful bonus! Thank you!!!

  840. So I read about your secret room. I’ve decided that there is an advantage to living in a 1300 SF one story home. No secret rooms to scare the crap outa me. I would love a copy of Furiously Happy if you still have an extra. Thanks!

  841. I got the coloring book and the awesome tote bag. Have since given the book to my best friend who is recovering from pericarditis. She was previously an Iron Man triathlete overachiever and seriously needed something to do. Thanks for saving her through me. I would like my book back but that would be super in appropriate. “Glad you didn’t die, but my book? Thanks girl!”. Love you Jenny!

  842. So I just spent 15 minutes writing a nice comment talking about how I love your blog, how great it is that you share everything about your life, how I was completely enthralled with your secret room drama, how I would love a free book signed by you ANNNNDDD then the internet decided I already posed that comment & could post it again. So this is round two. Not nearly as nicely written! Haha. Thank you!

  844. And now I see that my first comment did post! Sorry for taking over your comments section. Internet 1 me 0!!

  845. I forgot to tell you that I would love a copy of “Furiously Happy.” I have “You Are Here.” Love it.

  847. I would love to share a copy for a friend of mine who is currently going through a dark phase in her struggle with depression.

  848. Have you thought of a children’s coloring book? You and Haley could conspire together! (Conspire?) Anyway, my school has morning clubs and my club is the Coloring Club. A coloring book of yours (Uh kid appropriate though) would be a great way to start the day!

  851. I started coloring in You Are Here. Could seriously use Furiously Happy.
    Also, I never thought of how wrong BOGO was. Thank you for pointing that out. (email: ddelper@cltel.net).

  854. I would love a copy of You Are Here! It’s your only book I don’t have.

  858. totally awesome you only have 3 more!!
    I cheated, read about your secret room before leaving a comment and I am dying over here!!! Glad there were no body parts…. or anything that would remotely look like someone was living up there…. but, please, I say ignore Victor and SEAL OFF THE DEMON PORTALS just in case

    you are here would be awesome for me to give to my niece…she has much anxiety ljshrmn@yahoo.com

    thanks <3

  862. I would love a copy of You are Here. Colouring is how I stay still when I want to do things but I am too tired (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome sucks). I would like to think your treatments are also the reason you are now finding the hidden rooms you have in your house (That is SO COOL!!!)

  863. I’m hoping she just missed the windows and didn’t transfer to an alternate universe and found that her alternate self has two secret rooms!

    I would love a copy of the new book and I love coloring! ambertomkins@gmail.com

  864. I don’t know if this is too late, but I would love a copy of your book! I bought the two other ones, but You are here would be a very welcome distraction from my anxious mind…

  865. Hello i would like you are here ,I already have one for me and bought two more for my kids 26 years old but I would offer this one to a friend of mine if I am the lucky winner!!! I love your books ( I have them all ) you make me cry and laugh so hard …mainly laugh I admit …you are amazing ..thank you …( I am in france ,and French….yes I know….)

  866. Happy National coloring day! If you pick me I will send it to my sister who 1st introduced me to your awesomeness!!! Congrats on reaching your 33rd treatment! Also congrats on finding a secret room, double secret win!!!

  870. I never have time for Twitter lately, but yesterday I was trapped in a waiting room just in time to see the secret room stuff hit. The universe clearly only kind of hates me!
    (If you’ve not yet done the colouring books, I would not hate one to use in my attempts to get the head demons to shut up and just let me sit in relative stillness.)

  872. I can’t stop listening to Furiously Happy in the car, and since I have birthed three children out of my “lady garden”, I am beyond grateful that I upgraded to leather seats…. cuz kegels are a damn hoax that were invented by a man who doesn’t even have a vagina!. Anyway, I also love free shit, like coloring books and word books and books with words. Keep on Keepin’ on, Ms. Lawson!

  873. Jenny, I’m hoping for the very best results for you with your treatments. Also hoping they don’t effect your sparkling wit, because that would be a great loss to humankind. 👍🏻

  874. Your list is long and my request is short but I’ll put in a little beg anyway because I’d love to have your coloring book and I’m in the broke section of my life. It’s a temporary time but I really would be happy and color in it or let my 2 1/2 year old help me with it. love, me

  876. Hi Jenny
    I read both of your books on kindle last year during a super low period in my life and your words encouraged me and also made me laugh out loud so much, I got a temporary reprieve from my anguish. But the premise of Furiously Happy stuck with me and I recently purchased a hard copy and am reading it again (with just as much enjoyment). I plan to get Let’s Pretend This Never Happened in hard copy too! Your work is something that can be read and enjoyed over and over!!
    I am from New Zealand so I don’t know if this applies to us but I would super love a copy of you are here!
    So just incase….. My email is: elbowuniverse@gmail.com
    Thank you for being you xo

  882. Jenny,
    I posted around 1:30 today and have completely forgotten (Awesome side effect of ECT – for some people) whether or not I included the email. So sorry to give you even more to read!

    Dani Tibbetts

  885. Gratis on the progress! Only 3 more! I too would love a free book. Since I have to rebut the first few after loaning them out, it is fantastic to hear about your signing for book people. Awesome store!

  887. those hidden mini attics are bizarre. Why are they there!?? Why aren’t they just part of a big normal attic?? You have mini attics man! this is bizarre!

    Also, why is a corn nut in a box in a mini attic? That’s still weird! was someone eating raw corn up there? does the demon that clearly lives there live off corn?

    Also free book? I mean I haven’t gotten around to finishing your others (I was reading the first one in hospital but nearly dying kinda distracted me, i’m sorry!) so yes, yes I would like a copy of You Are Here.
    Kill_all_the_bunnies@hotmail.com is my email address. Yes, it really is.

  888. Oh I should probably explain WHY I want the colouring book. See we need a new bed, and adulting that hard makes me feel icky. Last time we went sofa shopping I got sad about how boring and grown up it was. Then I saw colouring. I vaulted a sofa, giggling like a toon while husband just rolled his eyes and sat and coloured in with giant kiddy crayons while he signed paperwork. BWHAHAHA.
    I need to be prepared for boring bed purchasing!

  889. I’m reading Furiously Happy right now. Actually you are reading it, i’m just listening along at the gym. Its made me laugh so hard i’ve dropped some pretty heavy weights several times. I think im about to be kicked out of the YMCA permanently for hysterical laugh based weight recklessness. That would be unfortunate because then my only option would be LA Fitness and i think you and i both know im not in the shape required to workout at LA Fitness. LA Fitness is the gym for people who already look awesome, they just want to be in the presence of other awesome looking people so they can all agree they are masters of the universe. Or at least thats what i imagine. i’ve actually never been there but for what they charge they better have someone sitting in the locker room telling la-di-da-di-everybody that they are the sexiest human being alive. Like a towel guy in a fancy restaurant except with compliments and no tipping.

    All this to say: i’d like a copy of you are here please. =)

  892. I am trying to get back to my art and would looooove a free colouring book, especially one made by you! If not, that’s cool. I will buy it eventually. 🙂

  893. Hi Jenny,
    Any of your books would be an amazing addition to my collection! I would looove! You are here. As well, I wish you great success as you are progressing through your treatment. Lastly, interested in hearing about the secrect room! 😉
    mpremi@cogeco.ca

  895. Thank you for offering up the opportunity to receive one of your coloring books

  897. I’d LOVE to have a copy of “Furiously happy”, oennel [at] gmail.com. Wish you all the best with your treatment!

  899. I am bipolar and often need something to distract me from either the high or the low, and therefore, would love a copy of your “You Are Here.” That said, if someone else needs it more because it would be really good therapy for them, then you should give it to them. And I am so very happy for you that the TMS is working!

  900. I doubt I’d win a copy but if I did my depressed little brain would be oh so happy for a short while! I love reading your blog and am so pleased the treatments are working for you. scottishlobster@gmail.com

  901. So happy that you are on the home stretch with your treatments and that they seem to be having a positive effect. Just taking us along with you on the journey is helping a lot of people, so thanks, lady!

  903. I am so glad that the treatments are working for you! I would also love a copy of “Furiously Happy” -WindyDayze at gmail.com Okay, it’s really @gmail.com but my paranoia about spambots won’t allow me to type it all together.,,

  906. I would like a copy of the coloring book for my 24 year old daughter. She would love it!

  907. I’m just excited there’s a National Coloring Book Day! I should have taken off work to celebrate 🙂

  908. I would love a copy to give to my niece who is going through a troubling time and could really use your coloring book. And for something completely different – Did you get the buttons?

  910. People thought I was bananas for having coloring books in my 20’s (somewhere in the early 1990’s). Would love your coloring book. Cheers!

  912. My 18 y/o (soon to be college freshman!) daughter would love a copy of You Are Here! Your books have helped get her to this point despite her multiple chronic illnesses and we are eternally grateful ❤️

  914. PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE I would love a copy of YOU ARE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  915. I would love a copy of You Are Here! I recently realized I also get anxiety when I travel and can’t go three days anywhere without wanting to leave and losing all enjoyment of being on vacation.

  916. I just want to tell you that reading your blog has become the best part of my day. Thank you for all your wonderful, wild weirdness.

  919. I work with mentally ill people and we have a coloring group that meets once a month. I know they would be super excited to use one of your coloring books. We have read your books in our reading group so you are an inspiration to all of us. They also have done some of treatments you’ve under gone
    Kdenny37@hotmail.com. thank u in advance

  921. Oooh, oooh, I want a copy of You Are Here! I also want to thank you for sharing your journey with the TMS treatments. I’m glad they seem to be helping.

  922. I’ve always wanted to find a secret room in my house as a kid. That fueled my imagination for many years with stories of secret agents investigating a murder mystery or a deranged sibling plotting and waiting for the day she learned how to escape the room and switch lives with me! But, later on, I became convinced that a secret boyfriend was waiting for me in a room I never found that would take me away and we would be deliriously happy together for all eternity. I think that’s when I hit puberty.
    Lynyrd10@yahoo.com

  924. add me to the long list of vultures hoping to score a book. Just passed on this blog post to a friend too.

  934. I probably missed this but I’ve been doing coloring with my dysgraphiac son to help him with his fine motor and pencil grip so I figured I’d try with one long run on sentence. 😁

  940. Best of luck for those last three treatments and your continued progress! You have a hell of a lot of people rooting for your health, and some of us aren’t even sure what health IS, any more, we just know we want you to feel it.

    Secondly, I’ve love a copy of your coloring book! (I’ve got the other two books already! <3) Actually, I’ve been wanting one for a friend, too, so maybe if I end up with one we’ll get together and have a color-n-bitch….kind of like a stitch-n-bitch except we don’t actually get any sewing done.

    If he won’t let you have a crowbar to get into the secret room, maybe Beyonce will give you one. Or James Garfield. Or Rory….he’s CLEARLY up for adventure.

  942. Can’t tell you how much I love your blog! Love the conversation around mental health and how you work through your life. Hoping for a shit at a coloring book but I may be too late. I most definitely need to read your book too!

  944. But…. I am not a monster.I might want a free book, but I don’t need a free book. I have all of your books already of course. Thank you for your kind heart and generous spirit!

  945. Hi Jenny! I JUST finished listening to the Furiously Happy audiobook. It was fantastic! Thank you for keeping me company during my commute. I’ve been going through a rough time and your insight and humor was just what I needed. I’d love to read AND COLOR your newest book, YOU ARE HERE.
    mmm90@verizon.net

  946. I too would love a free book (and a secret room). I have hard and soft copies of LPTNH and Furiously. I NEED to own all of your books, so gosh I would love, love your coloring book.
    You are the an amazing woman and I admire and worship from afar you.

  947. I’d love your coloring book! 1300 Eagle Ridge Dr S. Apt. D1028 Renton WA 98055

  950. I bought a copy for myself… and immediately wished I could also afford to buy many more copies for so many good friends that I know who could benefit from owning a copy of your book.. well, ALL of your books, to be honest! So, if I could have a free one, it would be a very special gift to someone special to me who definitely needs it. cj.faithy@gmail.com
    Thanks for always being awesome, Jenny! <3

  952. Hello! I’d love a copy of Furiously Happy (dlalits@gmail.com)
    Also, I’ve really been enjoying your embroidery projects!

  954. So glad you are doing well.
    Going to be wondering all day what I feel I didn’t finish until I find out what thought #3 was though………

  955. Did you manage to get a crowbar? 😂 good luck exploring your secret room!

  958. Also not a monster 😂 I knoe just where to pay it forward to if selected!aconn13@yahoo.com

  961. Hey Jenny, about your “creepy room”- 1st-jeez what is victors deal? Everybody needs a crowbar now and then. 🙂
    2nd- most larger houses have 2 attic entries, mine has one in the garage and one in our mb closet. To be fair, I have never looked up there to see if there’s a creepy human head box or Draculas lurking about. So more power to you.

  962. I need to color! I’ve been enjoying your treatment journey – glad to see some positive news in the mental illness front. Coming up on 4 years since my brother’s suicide and it’s just a rough time of year. (crazywriter@hotmail.com)

  963. Hi, since it was the first time I wrote on your blog, I was checking to see if it got posted. Since I don’t see it yet, I suspect alien zombie secret agents are totally reading and scanning my words for secret codes. Let me let you in on a secret: I’m totally not that smart!!! They can post without worry. love, love, love you, Jenny!

  964. Um, okay, I still don’t see it my earlier message I posted.. Too bad. It was an homage to you! Because I talk like you! And I was telling you how I told nearly 6 million people (it may have been fewer in that earlier boast, uh, post). And I was saying the good news is that I have made believers and fans out of people because not only do I tell people about your books but then I started giving them as gifts, for birthdays and for any occasion where someone needed to see a raccoon or giggle ’til they TRUMPED (I just learned in England Trump means FART, and it’s totally true, check with the Queen or anybody over there). I also said we should talk or at least email. What you do with animals, I do with prosthetic body parts. I have 2 artificial legs that I use to walk, but I own many more for other creative purposes. I know YOU understand! I’m totally fun–ask my nieces and nephews who does better leg stump puppets than me! NOBODY! (That means either I’m the only one or the greatest. I’ll get back to you on that.). I do adore your life story and wish you well, Jenny. Good luck with all the treatments. P.S. I hope they give your hair a nice curl as a bonus.

  965. I love your house story, although I am mystified that you never noticed your secret 3rd level before. Thanks for the laugh!

  966. Congratulations! on your treatment! I have a friend who has been depressed for a long time and he is starting them. Hope you both have good results and long lasting. I would love a coloring book lweathersbee@hotmail.com

  968. I’d love a book! I feel like having a relaxing activity would help some anxiety I have with balancing work and being a new mom with a husband who travels a lot for his job. prescottmarya@gmail.com

  969. I’d Love a Secret Room…and a coloring book…oh, to use in the secret room…

  971. Coloring book?! Yes, please! I’d much rather be coloring, than working. 😀

  975. I f***ing love colouring!!!! And I love you! And your blog! On days when things are darkest, it’s wonderful to have a place to go to see someone who struggles, and shares her struggles so openly. It’s helped me to find new and creative ways of coping. And colouring is one of those 🙂 itsgotmyleg@msn.com

  976. Ooh ooh, I would love a copy of the coloring book! Please randomly pick me. And also the person right before me, because “itsgotmyleg@msn.com” is the best e-mail address ever. Mine’s boring: ShelleyBrown2112@gmail.com. Carry on, and continued good results with your treatment!

  977. This one has it all. You’ve successfully turned me into a festering blob of laughter and creeped-out fear.

  980. Super late to the party (as always), but I would love one of your coloring books! I’ve been meaning to order You Are Here for some time now and….. yeah. jenmelley@gmail.com By the way, you kept me partially sane for a really long time now, so even if I’m not a winner, thanks 🙂

  985. I would love a copy of your coloring book for my best friend! She is struggling so hard with anxiety attacks and being overworked right now. Thank you so much for these giveaways!

  986. I would love any book you have to give out. I laugh my self to tears reading your books (listening to audio while driving) and relate much to some anxiety and other feelings relayed.

  987. My daughter is leaving for College in 2 weeks. She has severe test anxiety and depression. I am bipolar and right after I was diagnosed we listened to both of your books on cd. AMAZING! my daughter and I connected and bonded fir the first time in many years. She would really love it if you would send her a book. <3

  988. I loved watching the coloring book evolve over the course of your blog/tweets, and the whole concept behind it so much that I order a half dozen when they came out and have been giving them away as gifts. However, I forgot the adage of ‘put your own oxygen mask on first’ and gave them all away! Whoops. I would love a new owner’s manual if the fates blow in my direction. If not, ’tis fine. 2018 may be more of a trashcan fire for someone else. 2018 has been really kicking me in the butt and it’s so wonderful to have YOU and this community (and various types of art/food/screaming therapy) to get me through. THANK YOU, Jenny. Thank you, Jenny’s tribe.

  989. Hi Jenny! I love your books and keeping up with your posts. I would love a copy of your coloring book 🙂 All the best, Kristen!

  990. Just got hooked on the Jenny trail. What a ride. Just finished Let’s Pretend…….ready for more Jenny.

  991. Just got hooked on the Jenny trail. What a ride. Just finished Let’s Pretend…….ready for more Jenny.

  992. Hello Jenny
    Well i see 992 comments and still counting. I stbled upon your books via amazon recommendations, downloaded a kindle sample and loved it so much that i puchased all three books on whim. Turns out I belong to the tribe too, i feel somewhat less lonely now.but simce you are giving away the books I wouldnt mind to have one to spreadlove since i am too selfish to someone else color mine. :P. One for my niece.
    Rishabh.dhingra@hotmail.com

  993. I would love a copy of You are Here! But it looks like I missed the deadline. 😕

  998. You do so much work to remove the stigmas around mental health issues and you remind us all that we are seen, we are not alone. Can’t thank you enough for that. I would request a book if any are still available. Would love the coloring book, but even more love a copy of Let’s Pretend This Never Happened, if possible, cause I gave my copy to a friend. If I end up being gifted with either one, can you draw me an elephant in there? My son loved elephants to a degree that was unfathomable and utterly delightful, and they mean a lot to me now. I’m Deva at wegetbetterandbetter@gmail.com.

  1004. As usual I am late to the party, I don’t get online every day during the summer because I do a lot of outdoor stuff with the kids when they are out of school. I just wanted to say that I would have entered yesterday for a book for my sister, but I’m not even disappointed because just the fact that you offer things like this for people who might need them makes me so very happy. Thank you for being amazing and inspiring this Tribe!

  1005. I have an artist friend who recently moved to NYC and has been struggling with work/depression/moving stress and they could definitely use some coloring

  1007. I would love a copy of either. I love to put them in the hospital waiting room where I get chemo. I always take my Rory pillow with me and I always have to explain. You even signed him for me on your last tour. Needless to say, your books are very popular in our library.

  1008. (Pretend that first post didn’t happen. You know the struggle is real.)

  1010. I’d love a copy. I mean, I have one already but my SIL is a therapist and I know she’d love one or two for the day program at the hospital she works at.

  1011. I would love a free copy of Furious Happy or Lets Pretend This Never Happened.
    Denise, Florida

  1012. Oh oh oh oh!! I want one! I want one…Yes please…a coloring book please. Oh yes please!

  1014. can’t seem to post here, but I’m gonna try again, my email is kali.wylder@gmail.com and I would love a coloring book but I don’t expect you can give out over a thousand of them and it’s ok if you don’t give me one. I’m just glad that the treatments seem to be working for you and I love to read you blog, I identify a lot.

  1017. I would love a copy for my daughter who is struggling with BiPolar and I’m reading your blog and as much as I can to try to understand what she’s going through.

  1018. I would like a coloring book, whee! You are awesome!

    swbucket at gmail.com

  1019. I love your books! I just finished furiously happy and am currently listening to Let’s pretend this never happened. I would loveeeee a copy of “you are here” you are amazing!!! ❤️❤️❤️

  1021. I wish I’d seen this back on Thirsday. My mom passed on Monday and I could use something to distract me. Still, Seeing the way you reach out and connect with people, despite your anxiety, warms my heart. Can I be like you when I grow up?

  1023. Well, I just scrolled through a million and two comments here (maybe a slight exaggeration) so I am guessing I am not in the running for your free book, but I wanted to tell you that my dear friend Evan texted me last week and said “drop everything and run to a book store to get this book” and because I love and trust Evan and because he is my go-to person when I start to go bat-shit crazy (because he is too) I did what he said (well, not the “drop everything” part) and got your “Furiously Happy” and read it in two days – which is amazing for me because my OCD makes me read every. single. word – and I love you!! The blog you copied into one of the final chapters (can’t remember which because I have already passed the book on to my equally, but differently bat-shit crazy sister) made complete sense and used the words I always wished I had. Thank you thank you thank you. And more please!

  1024. I’d be incredibly grateful for a copy of either. So glad your treatment is going well and nearly completed.

  1025. Just started reading Furiously Happy! I love iit! I too have depression and severe anxiety so it is actually quite encouraging! Your humor is amazing!

  1028. Hi, Jenny! I’m so behind on this but…I’d love a copy of FURIOUSLY HAPPY. My friend said she sent me one in the mail about a week and a half ago, but I sadly never got it. She says I will read every damn word you’ve written…I’m looking forward to getting my hands on it…either from you or her, whichever comes first. Much love from a new fan!

    emery96@gvtc.com

  1029. Next time any of you have a dental checkup PLEASE take that thing with you and ask if it is a tooth.

  1030. Thank for all your wonderful books! I would like a book for my friend currently restarting her life and one for myself enjoying “furiously happy” to fight through my depression. I make cute clay items and would love to send you something back for all the positive impacts your stories have had.
    Toonieunihorntreats@gmail.com

  1032. I have none of your books (YET… still, what a bad friend 🙁 ) and would love any you are sending out. You’ve been a constant source of inspiration/making me laugh my ass off especially over this past year and a half since I’ve had my son and dealt with some serious PPD and sleep deprivation. Thank you for being you and for putting yourself out there. Cheers!

  1033. You are wonderful and funny and it tickles me that there are 1,032 comments before this one. There are three prime numbers in 1,032. They are 2, 3, and 43. 😀

  1034. LOVE LOVE LOVE you and books! Read both and learned never drink coffee while reading anything by Jenny Lawson because you laugh so hard, it’s just embarrassing to spit that stuff all over everyone in Starbucks. I would so enjoy getting my own copy. If I do, can you sign it – ‘To Jen, who is seriously considering where to hang the badger head that she hopes to stumble across – not in a fall down way though – one day soon!’ Looking forward to new adventures! Never stop writing!!

  1035. Omg! I would absolutely love one! My last one got ruined by a rouge cup of coffee and I haven’t had a chance to get another!!!

    Even if I’m not one of the lucky ones I want to thank you! You’ve helped me get through some really tough times with laughter!!!

    Heart you!

  1036. So I am so your new biggest fan…in about the last week I have binged on all 3 of your books ( and bought an extra copy of you are here for a friend) thanks so much for giving them away on the same day that I actually gave a copy away…I”m telling you it is cosmic!!! (However, if I was the lucky winner of another copy it would me an awesome surprise if it came autographed!! Never hurts to ask right. Also, I am very proud of myself for reaching out because I am crazy afraid of my computer..except bubble witch or amazon, anything else makes me nervous. It been a big day, installed my first app on my phone and sent a super fan message. Do NO social stuff so glad you had an alternative way for me to say hi…Hi…seriously, thanks for your bravery and your honesty and reminding me I am not the only one who questions everything, sending you a great big hug, cause that’s how I roll!!! francisk@eurekacityschools.org

  1040. Colouring book please, will go to a lovely homeless woman for inspiration. We’ve been talking about making her gorgeous drawings into a colouring book to help her make money for accommodation. If I scan & help her create it, she won’t lose her pictures each time she sells them. Otherwise, i’ll buy one anyway but not sure if Aussie stockist?

  1042. I’d love your coloring book.I’m going back to teaching this week and need something relaxing.

  1045. Can’t believe I didn’t know there was a colouring book day and now I’ve gone and missed it! Ah well, there’s always next year. Also, New Zealand is really far to be posting things willy-nilly… though I wouldn’t stop you if you had an extra copy laying around. 😀 I love your posts, they always brighten my day, and I really liked your ‘my favourite murder’ story, I almost peed my pants I was laughing so hard! Good luck for your last few treatments.

  1049. Its. Damned autocorrect! Bah. I’m going back to bed. It’s too early for the typing. Hahah

  1050. Can’t think of a better way of beginning retirement than your coloring book . (Autocorrect tried to change that to colonoscopy). Thanks, Jenny!

  1051. Jenny you are undoubtedly hilarious! I visit your blog regularly to lift myself and have been following your journey with magnetic therapy… It gives me hope and is inspirational. I am going to be honest, I want your coloring book for me and my friend. We always get together to work on an activity while discussing everything under the sun, and lately we have been coloring furiously… it is stressful.

    Thank you for putting your thoughts and your experiences out her for folks like me to read and be inspired.

  1052. Jenny, I read everything you write, every book, every blog post but I don’t have your You are Here book. I’m new at coloring, because I’m very old and what is old is new again for me so I hope I’m randomly chosen. You’re my hero.

  1053. So… I have to have two copies of “Furiously Happy” because I insist that everyone in my life read it– and I lend it out so often that I needed another copy. Now everyone else has their own copy and share it too. One of the girls I work with thanked me the other day because it has brought her and her sister together. She said “who would have thought she had a sense of humor? We talk on the phone every night since this book. My family needed this” Man, I hope that makes you feel as good as it does me. Your books have made the people around me understand me better and if it changes the way just one other person feels about depression, its a success. Thank you for sharing those thoughts in my head. If you’re still sending copies of your books (I also have two of “You are Here” so I could color one and keep the other in good shape… ahh the issues…” Id love a copy of “Lets Pretend…” so I could share it too 🙂

  1055. OMG your flavor of crazy would swirl with MY flavor of crazy so well!!!!! I just discovered you as I am QUITTING DRINKING and you may be my new addiction! I may have to buy your books in bulk because my friends need to know and read you! Thank you so much for being so brave and honest about this shitstorm we live in, I am proud to be ‘quirky’!!! I am reading your book slowly so I can savor every crumb, like a dog biscuit……(I have a nephew in the Marines and he says they eat dog biscuits for the protein and to clean their teeth when water is scare, like in Iraq, so I bet your guy was ex-military. I am so glad to find you on my 39th day of sobriety—-you are my spirit sister!

  1056. I would love a copy of your coloring book. Each time I read your posts, you make my day better (and often make me laugh out loud). Best to you for your final treatments, so glad they are helping!

  1059. My wife is going to be out of the country having surgery for three weeks – I’d love a copy of your colouring book to help her keep her sanity while she’s away from home.

  1060. I’m interested in you, I like what I’ve read so far and would like to know more 🙂

  1061. I am pretty sure that I am late for this but anyway I’ll just write this.It’s past midnight where I am but I’ve just finished Furiously Happy again and I feel better than I’ve felt in months. Just to stay on topic though, I’d love to get a copy of your book.
