What people read...

People write them. People read them. And people question them.


How to be a reasonably Thing Teenage Girl (yeah, that's exacty what teen girls should be thinking about).








Strange Nervous Laughter (with a side of eggs).








What's your poo telling you? (Something all of us should be researching, I hate it's taken me this long).







Knitting with Dog Hair (seriously, I'm grossed out).








Cyber Sex for Dummies (glad that's cleared up, now I know they aren't one in the same).

I love that the POO book is fashionably brown. But doubleyikes on all of them.

S.A. Larsenッ said...

That last one stumped me. WTH??? Um, the first one - I wonder what the story is about. Hopefully, it's about developing a good self image.

Erinn said...

That idiot will tell you anything, won't he.

Christine Danek said...

Ohh these are good. Knitting with Dog hair--interesting. The poo book...yeah. Cyber sex guide...I'm not sure I want to comment on that.
HAve a great weekend!

Diane said...

EEEEEK! Scary choices out there. Although a friend of mine has the poo book and it is very informative.... :O)

Laura Pauling said...

Interesting! But I'm sure people have bought them. Where did you find these?

Misha Gerrick said...

Lol thanks for these.

:-D

Bonnie James said...

Love your blog! HI-Larious! And full of great information... you really are awesome. :)
Thanks for finding me!

Matthew MacNish said...

Hah! Good finds Jen. For a sec I thought it said Cyber Sex IS for Dummies.

Elena Solodow said...

You can laugh, Jen, but my Gold Retriever Hat is the WARMEST. Harumph.

*pulls her Pomeranian scarf tighter around her neck*

Jen said...

I actually know a lot of people that have the POO book...they all also have IBS so maybe that's why?!?!

Unknown said...

And yet, it's so damn hard for the rest of us to get our work in print...! Too funny. Thanks for sharing, and have a great weekend!

Guinevere said...

Ookay, some interesting stuff here. I don't even know what to say about a how-to guide for cyber sex!

However, "Strange Nervous Laughter" looks like something I want to read. Might have to add that one to the TBR pile!

Stina said...

I'm speechless! (I was so speechless I couldn't even spell the word at first). ;)

Meredith said...

Dog hair? Seriously? How does that not freak everyone out???

Anonymous said...

LOL! at your comment for the last book. And who needs a book for that anyway? Can people really be that stupid or lame they need to be walked through Cyber Sex? I guess so.

Alex J. Cavanaugh said...

If you need that last one, might as well hang it up now!

Unknown said...

OMG, what year was that first one published...I must go google it now.

Carol Kilgore said...

Knitting with Dog Hair...maybe I can sell all the hair I brush out and sweep up during shedding seasons.

Shannon O'Donnell said...

Some things are just sad!!! LOL. :-)

Lisa Galek said...

And people publish them!

Seriously? Knitting with dog hair?

Demitria said...

Wow, these are so strange...I really was wondering how to figure out cyber sex...now there's a book for me :)

Um... yeah.... *shakes head*

Colene Murphy said...

Hahaha! Those are real!? That is...incredibly...odd.

Krispy said...

Why would you knit with dog hair??? These made me LOL, though I've seen the POO one before. The nervous laughter one has a cute cover!

Talli Roland said...

Dog hair? WHAT?!?!

Jillian said...

wow some titles just give me the giggles.

Happy Friday... and yes I have thought of doing more modern letters, I will probably start featuring some soon.

Felicity Grace Terry said...

Where did you find these? All very funny apart from the first one which is just scary.

jeanette from everton terrace said...

I'm flabbergasted. I don't know which disturbs me most, probably the dog hair one, seriously gross.

Unknown said...

I found all of these books on amazon.com

Yes that's right... Amazon dot com.

Golden Eagle said...

Okaaaaay . . .

Michael Di Gesu said...

My sentiments exactly, Golden...

WHY? When there's exciting books like ours that are waiting to be published!

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Knitting with Dog Hair? Seriously? That's insane! Now, if only they put one out about knitting with monkey hair...

Chris Phillips said...

A friend has the poo book. It's very classy.

Cathy Olliffe-Webster said...

I'm seriously thinking about ordering the poo book.

Jemi Fraser said...

Well...um...wow. :)

Carrie said...

I was in a yarn store once and a guy came in with a big bag of his dog's hair. The woman who worked there took it to spin into yarn for him! Maybe he had that book...

Ashley Stone said...

HOW do these people ever get published!!!!???

Amie Kaufman said...

Speechless. With DOG HAIR?

That is me having nothing to say.

Larri said...

Hilarious!

Laura S. said...

These are great! I like the egg heart cover! Now I want to try making that, lol.

Jewels said...

This post made me laugh so hard! Love it! The dog hair one was ummmm odd.

Anonymous said...

I was like, really?? None of these are on my TBR book list.

Karen Lange said...

What an interesting assortment of books! I'm thinking I'll stick with my own TBR pile for now...:)

Sharon K. Mayhew said...

OMGoodness, Jen! Are you saying you DON'T want the sweater I'm knitting you from Macy's fur?

Missed Periods said...

Well, to be honest, I don't know how to communicate with my poo, I have no idea how to knit with dog hair or have cyber sex, so I guess I'll head over to Amazon right away.

Clara said...

hahahaha absolutely loved this!!! Whats your poo telling you hahaha omg! hilarious!

And theres an award for u at meh bloggy lovely!

Len Lambert said...

I laughed my head off at the title of What's Your Poo Telling You! Haha! I like that! I will surely look that up! :)

Ellie Garratt said...

LOL. The LSO would love that poo book! Okay. This is disgusting but funny. He called me to the bathroom one day and asked me to look at his poo. Well, I wasn't too keen but he insisted. It was so funny because his poo was exactly the shape of a question mark. A true story!

RaShelle Workman said...

What's so sad is that these were actually published. LOL I'm sure they were written very well.

Thanks for the laugh. =D

Theresa Milstein said...

Knitting with Dog Hair made me gag a little. I remember a Project Runway finale where the designer used human hair. That grossed me out too. I don't know why that's grosser than wool or leather, but it is.

Anonymous said...

Yes I've heard of the dog hair knitting book, but the others are a real revelation. Thanks for the laugh. Excellent!
I wonder if the Bodlian has copies of all these? :O)

Julie Hedlund said...

OK, that Cyber-Sex one can't be real. For one thing, isn't "Cyber" really a turn of the century word? I think that went the way of "information super-highway."

Samantha Vérant said...

What's my poo telling me? Well, to shit or get off the pot! Ahhhh, toilet humor.
