I have to admit; I am not a bookworm. I have a bookcase filled with pictures and maybe ONE row of books but to call me an active reader? I'd rather be on my laptop watching Netflix. It's not that I don't LIKE to read, it's just I get sleepy very easily, and as a college student, I like to visualize over reading.

With that personal tidbit about myself explain, I can at least tell you I did get a chance to read Lauren Graham's new book "Talking As Fast As I Can: From Gilmore Girls to Gilmore Girls, and Everything In Between."

My review?

I LOVED it. Personally, I think I enjoyed it because it was a mix of personal essay's and journals from Graham herself. When I read non-fiction/autobiography, my mind gets hooked to the life getting described because it's someone's real story. I don't know if it is because of my journalism instincts or the fact that I love WRITING about someone's life, but during these difficult times, it brought a smile to my face.

If you've watched "Gilmore Girls," you already know the witty and fast-paced dialogue Graham has to present. In many interviews, Graham has mentioned that's how she talks in real life and well, her vivacious personality and just the way she talks in real life gets clearly reflected in her writing. I honestly don't know if that makes sense or is intellectual at all, but it adds so much uniqueness and quality. I was able to read her book with her voice in my head (in a non-creepy kind of way).

The diction she uses is also another compelling aspect of her book. Phone conversation? Yup, the transcript is on there. Inner thoughts of Ms. Graham? Yup, in there too and presented in a HILARIOUS manner. Caps? HELL YEAH.

Now, I know she has her other novel, and I will get on that novel soon enough, but for now, I suggest you go on to your neighborhood bookstore and grab a copy of this fabulous book.

I am not by any means a New York Times best sellers list, nor a critic nor anyone qualified to give you an intellectual view on whether or not this book was good or not, but I am a happy reader. It is not a dread to read, trust ME. It instantly makes you smile and laugh and ok, cry too. It only makes you fall in love with Lauren Graham even more.

P.S. She was giving away free signed books via Twitter and in partnership with an LA bookstore, but it's a little too late now. Don't fear though, she is looking for ways to give her books to some lucky fans in 2017!
