Fantastic Four
More like Catastrophic Quatre, amiright?! I was ignoring the reviews because, you know, Miles Teller. I thought: How bad can it be? Especially since Jamie Bell and Kate Mara and that new Michael Jordan are in it, too. But man, it’s bad. It’s so bad. It’s not even so bad it’s good. It’s just bad.

The Day the Crayons Came Home by Drew Daywalt
It’s the sequel to The Day the Crayons Quit and it’s just as amazing. I mean, look. He changes his name to Esteban! The kidlets are getting this one, too.

The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt
I don’t care how old you are, you’re going to love this. Honestly, one of the funniest children’s books I’ve ever read. It’s downright hilarious. And Oliver Jeffers’ illustrations make it just that much better. I can’t wait to give it to my niece and nephews.

The Tiny Wife by Andrew Kaufman
I’m 100% convinced that everything Andrew Kaufman writes is pure gold. Absolutely genius. I don’t know how he’s able to say so much about love in such a short book, but he is incredibly successful in doing so. No. 14 on my challenge. Thank goodness—it would have been terrible for Nancy if she’d had to…

Trainwreck
Yes. Mhm! Definitely. You’re gonna like this one. Typical Amy Schumer vulgarity hilarity. There are so many lines I wish I could remember and so many scenes I’ll never forget. A great chick flick for chicks whose hearts aren’t all aflutter and whose maternal clocks aren’t ticking.

Spy
Do you know what? This movie is funny. Bleedin’ hilarious. “You really think you’re ready for the field? I once used defibrillators on myself. I put shards of glass in my eye. I’ve jumped from a high-rise building using only a raincoat as a parachute and broke both legs upon landing; I still had to…

Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut
This is my first encounter with Vonnegut. Yes, it’s a classic. Yes, it’s satirical and anti-war. Yes, it’s very good. But holy Batman is it odd. I was not expecting Tralfamadorians. So it goes. No. 19 on my challenge. Not because I didn’t read it in high school, but because my teachers should have assigned it in…
