| The first couple hours of the road trip: Full boxes of granola bars, fresh mix tapes, and the heady thrill of anticipation get your body ready for a nice long ride. Gas tank's full, washer fluid's topped up, and your tiny thimble bladder doesn't have a drop in it. We're flying now. AWESOME! | Rubbing someone's newly shaved head: Feel the buzz and rub that fuzz. AWESOME! |
 |  |
| Stomping dry crunchy leaves on the sidewalk: Baby buds pop out in the spring, healthy leaves fly high all summer, and then they crumble and tumble down to the sidewalk. Yes, the sun rose, the sun set, months went by, and the earth actually tilted on its axis before this moment could appear before you. Now enjoy the crispy crunch that comes when your sneakers smash a brittle little leaf into smithereens. AWESOME! | Realizing you still remembered your childhood friend's phone number: Realizing you still remember old phone numbers gives a great smile-and-sunshine vibe. Lips curl, eyes twinkle, and memory reels start whirring on the rusty projector as you remember dialing those digits, day after day, day after, day after day. Making plans for the park, grumbling about teachers, whispering about cute classmates late at night, you just suddenly remember those times, those moments, and those old friends. AWESOME! |

A Rare Successful Sequel,
This review is from: The Book of Even More Awesome (Hardcover)
I posted this on Amazon.com, but wanted to share it here too:I recently received an advanced copy of The Book of Even More Awesome (BOEMA) won via Twitter contest. Having had a chance to read it in advance of its release was itself awesome, so I am sharing this brief review. Frequently, the problem with sequels is we want them to be exactly the same as the original while, at the same time, being completely different - more often than not, they are unable to live up to that promise. The BOEMA is a rare book that lives up to the challenge. It manages to retain the sweetness and humour of the original while giving us a completely different set of things that make us smile. Like Volume 1, The BOEMA is a reminder that there is a great deal of awesomeness in this mundane world of the everyday. And that, is worth revisiting.

So much awesome!,

This review is from: The Book of Even More Awesome (Hardcover)
Just when you think you've had enough awesome things, there comes even more awesome things! I absolutely loved the first book by Neil Pasricha, The Book of Awesome, so there was no question when The Book of (Even More) Awesome came out that I would get my hands on it.The premise of the Awesome books is simple ' it's a list of the awesome things in our lives that a lot of people take for granted. Like stepping on that puddle with a thin layer of ice on top, or puppy breath, or maybe getting the armrest in the movie theatre. Pasricha often refers to the not-so-awesome (and nonexistent) book The Book of Annoying'like someone shaking your hand with freshly wet hands from the bathroom, or getting the wobbly table (wouldn't that by a depressing book!). There really is something for everyone in this book, so if you're looking to brighten your day, crack it open and read a few pages. Your mood will be lightened in no time.
