Stay Sexy & Don't Get Murdered: The Definitive How-To Guide
by Georgia Hardstark, Karen Kilgariff
I occasionally enjoy the "My Favorite Murder" podcast but haven't been a catch-every-episode kind of listener. I wasn't sure about this book because it was hard for me to imagine a book version of the podcast. First, the two (podcast and book) aren't super related. You could enjoy this book even if you've never listened to an episode of the podcast before. With a flooded market of "self help" books aimed towards women, this is a breath of fresh air. I enjoyed their infusion of humor, story telling, and important but often unexpected takeaways. I couldn't believe how fast I flew threw this one-despite the additional challenge of listening away from earshot of my kids (i.e. the "swears"). I actually wished there was more! This was close to a 5-star rating for me, which is a rarity. By the end, however, there was too much repetition for me. Yes, I knew about Whiskers and the reading spot. And yes, I already knew how much gratitude you had for the success of the podcast. In reflection of the book, it felt like a combined series of essays vs. one book. I think that was the actual point given the chapter names and summary structure. Still though, you end up feeling like you hear things two, three, or even four times when you read the entire book. I really liked this quick read though and would recommend it.
