And you know, some of the things he -- I've heard him on podcasts talking about the book and he's
saying some of the things you might think is a red light, but actually they're green lights. And you
know, he just have these, like, poems that break out in the middle of the book. And this is why I
don't think you would get the same experience actually reading it. I mean, I don't know. If anyone
has read it, you'll have to let me know. Because the way he reads the poems in the middle -- so
good, like, amazing.
And again, like, I love this -- I've never been like this. But recently, I'd say in the last year or so, I
absolutely love looking into celebrities lives. Not from, like, a gossip-y, like what are they doing with
their life now kind of thing, but how did they get where they are. And Matthew has a really good
story about how he ended up getting into acting. It's amazing.
So, I really recommend that book. Especially if do you like Matthew McConaughey, you like learning
about celebrities, and things like that. It is -- I enjoyed it a lot.
Number four, is another celebrity book. Again, I don't -- I think she calls it a biography, but I can't
remember. But it is The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo by Amy Schumer.
Now, I'm not -- I don't really watch Amy Schumer in comedies. I've watched her film now because
she talked about the film so much in the book. Not like loads, but she mentioned it, but now I've
seen her film.
I think she has two films, doesn't she? Is I Feel Pretty the other that's hilarious too? Anyway, the
book is so funny. It is hilarious. It's like having a standup show in a book. And then, of course, it
goes to, like, actually this is really sad and emotional. And then you get a bit angry at some of the
things. Not that Amy does, that people do. You know, she talks about gun laws in America and --
just lots of things. There's lots of --
So, I would say, like -- in fact, I think I might put a trigger warning on this book actually. Before you
read it, I would recommend reading some review if you are triggered by certain events happening in
books, like sexual assault or gun crime. Because she does talk about that in the book, which I wasn't
expecting, actually. I was quite shocked when I heard two of the stories that happened in the book.
But obviously, like, it is about her life, and she couldn't have left them out. But there is that, like,
comedy mixed with so much sadness. If you have seen her film, Trainwreck, or no about her dad, oh
my gosh, like, she has been through so much. And yet, it was, like, comedy mixed with a lot of
sadness as well. But some parts are genuinely just absolutely hilarious and had me laughing so
much.
And again, Amy is reading it. So, like, so funny. I really recommend that book. And I would say
there's more comedy then there is heaviness to it. So, don't let that put you off. Like, it's not like it's
sadness all the way throughout, but there were -- there are elements of, like, scenes and things in
that book that you might just want to check on before you read it. I wish I had. I was kind of like,
oh, that came out of nowhere.
So, number five is The Lazy Genius Way by Kendra Adachi. This book, if you listen to the Lazy Genius
on podcasts, it's like her whole podcast in a book, but better. It's so good.
You know, there's just so many practical tips in the book for just, like, leading an easier life. You
know, she just has so many questions and prompts for you to just like really chew on. Like, what is
important to you? What do you actually want to spend time doing? What do you want to spend
