12 books in 12 months: #2 Yes Please by Amy Poehler

Autobiographies aren’t the type of books I typically read but when I was gifted Amy Poehler’s Yes Please I was pretty excited to dive in. From Saturday Night Live to this year’s Golden Globes to watching her on Parks and Recreation, I enjoy watching Amy. She always makes me laugh and when paired with Tina Fey there’s no doubt I’ll be entertained.

This book covers much of Amy’s life – from her childhood, to trying to lose her Boston accent, to the birth of her two sons. She writes about her friendships with other comedic actors like Rashida Jones, Rachel Dratch, and Louis C.K (just to name a few). She also tackles being a woman in Hollywood and the challenges it can bring. Along the way she sprinkles in advice in an insightful and humorous way. I enjoyed this book from start to finish.

From Blondes to IPAs to Sours, Beer Lovers Toast to Seattle Beer Week

Whether you’re new to drinking craft beer or a longtime fan Seattle Beer Week is your chance to join thousands of others who want to enjoy what the market has to offer. The ten day celebration kicks off today with dozens of bars, pubs, and breweries hosting several events showcasing a variety of hop based beverages. It’s no coincidence Seattle Beer Week is successful. According to the Brewers Association, Washington State ranks second in the nation in the number of craft breweries creating batches of a drink first created in ancient Mesopotamia.
