About book Crazy Aunt Purl's Home Is Where The Wine Is: Making The Most Of What You've Got One Stitch (and Cocktail!) At A Time (2010)
I love Crazy Aunt Purl, y'all. Love. Her. And I want to love her books. But...while I thought this book captured more of the magic that is her blog than did the first, it still wasn't all the way there. Like eating a low-calorie microwave meal that claims to be "Top Chef Restaurant Ready" but at the end of the day, it's still frozen chemicals in a cardboard box. Not that this book is a microwave meal - it's very entertaining, witty, and fun - and if you're not a regular reader of the blog, it qualifies as a gourmet meal indeed. But some of Laurie's vibrant voice is missing from the book for me. Luckily, she still writes the blog so I'll see y'all over there. I think this one was better than her first book, which, after enjoying Perry's blog over the years, I found a little underwhelming.I especially loved the story about dating a guy that started treating her differently after he discovered her old blog posts and took them more seriously than he should have.This is a fun, light read, and put the author on the unrealistically long list of writers that I'd love to have a drink or three with.
