4 Funny Books to Warm Your Soul This Winter

Ah, winter. The snow falling and fireplace roaring can seem magical, but when the snow becomes slush and you can't find your fuzzy socks, winter can be dreary. Grab any of these funny stories off the shelf and brighten up your day.

"Mother, Can You Not?" by Kate Siegel

Based off of her insanely popular Instagram account @crazyjewishmom, Kate Siegel discusses growing up with her overbearing and neurotic mother. The stories make you want to both laugh and cringe. This will definitely make you feel a bit better about that one time your mom embarrassed you in middle school.

The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo by Amy Schumer

While you'll definitely laugh with Amy as she takes you along on her crazy rides, you'll be unexpectedly touched by the serious and the sad that she has gone through. Amy has had plenty of experiences and plenty to teach us because of it.

Yes Please by Amy Poehler

Amy has a lot of insight to offer us. From losing to the moon, from Tina Fey to Parks and Rec, Amy covers it all. She's been through life and she has learned from life. While very humorous, what we learn from Amy is still sound advice. Let her embarrassments and mistakes be a lesson to us all.

Scrappy Little Nobody by Anna Kendrick

If you follow Anna on Twitter, you know she's as honest and relatable as they come. Her book will have you nodding along with every story. Sure, maybe you didn't film a movie about theater camp while living at a theater camp, but you definitely understand everything Anna is going through. You're not alone, my friend.

Now, time to catch up on all of the reading you had no time for at school!

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
