So I thought I’d take a break from talking about my own book and talk about someone else’s book today. You know, spread the love around a bit. (I haven’t been that annoying about my book, have I? Don’t answer that.)
Whose book? Only like a truckload of funny bloggers.
The truckload got together and wrote I Just Want to Pee Alone. Jen from People I Want to Punch in the Throat drove the truck and picked up how many bloggers to contribute? 37? Wow, that really is a lot. Anyway, it is a collection of funny mom essays. And funny it is.
Jen sent me a copy so I sat down on the couch a couple nights ago and read the whole thing.
Remember Susan from Divine Secrets of a Domestic Diva? The one wearing a pink unitard from this collaborative post we did together? She is in it.
When I got to her story in the book, I had to read a line to Crappy Papa because I kept laughing and he wanted to know what I was laughing about.
Course he had no idea what I was talking about. Just like you don’t right now.
See, that is the trouble with writing about a book like this. I’d love to tell you all my favorite parts. Like the part about the elephant, squirting your hoo-ha, shit central, cookie smacking, cougars, bubble baths, funeral ashes, pregnancy denial, poop eating, traveling in first class, number of kids scorecard, Mickey Mouse ice cream bars and enemas but then I’d be giving the milk away for free and I wouldn’t do that to this cow. This cow is worth it. Mooooo! Get it right here.
Some of my favorite funny mom bloggers contributed to this book. Like these gals:
(In addition to Jen & Susan from above) Kim from Let Me Start By Saying, Teri from Snarkfest, Tara from You Know it Happens at Your House Too, Andrea from Underachiever’s Guide to Being a Domestic Goddess, Karen from Baby Sideburns, Rebecca from Frugalista Blog, Patti from Insane in the Mom-Brain, Julianna from Rants from Mommyland, Nicole from Ninja Mom Blog and 26 more. That is a lot of funny packed into one book.
Here is the link again to I Just Want to Pee Alone. You know you want it. They had you at the title, right?
—————–
By the way, my book and this book like to hang out together. No really, they get along really well. Especially in the bathroom. Just sayin’. (You know I had to slip it in there at some point, right?)
i’ve got your book on pre-order from B & N. i’m so excited. so this book may be next after that 😀
Ditto!
Me as well, I’m adding it as my book to get next.
I think I’ll have to order that along with your book! More book reviews please! 🙂
Oh, they are coming over the next few weeks! HowToBeADad, ScaryMommy, HonestToddler and more. It will be a parent humor book month, should be fun!
I can’t get your book in Canada! 🙁
Never mind, I can now!!! Before it told me I couldn’t. I’ve tried like 25 times!!
You can from Indigo.ca, that is where I ordered: http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/Parenting-Illustrated-with-Crappy-Pictures-Amber-Dusick/9780373892747-item.html
Der, wait, did you mean the Pee Alone book or Crappy Book?
Never mind, I see you figured it out. I keep seeing your comments after I type mine so I look like a dolt. Sorry!
Woo-hoo, not crappy at all! Reading yours now and LOVING it! Thank you!!!
What??? How dd you get one so soon? I can’t wait to get mine!
🙂
Amazon just emailed me to tell me my book has been dispatched. Like a whole week earlier than they expected. So awesome.
Thanks Crappy for the review!! Nothing from you is crappy, and seeing our IJWTPA book in a crappy picture is awesome!! I’m totes sharing this!
🙂
Will check out this book, thanks for the review.
Totally non-rappy review! Your rendition of our book cover? Spot-on, baby. Spot. ON.
Thanks for spreading the love, mamacita!
🙂
Okay, you’ve sold me a copy. Pretty effing brilliant to tease me with a bunch of inside jokes that I’ll only get if I read the book.
I’ve already pre-ordered yours and adding this one to my Kindle.
“my book and this book like to hang out together” that is really cute and I will make this happen. I cleared a spot for them on the back of my toilet yesterday. Be gone stack of old magazines!
I’ve got it on my kindle, and yes HILARIOUS! and I’ve preordered yours, I’m excited. So much awesome!
I LOVE your crappy drawing of our book cover!!! You are amazing, thank you so much for this great review!!! I am currently reading YOUR book and can’t wait to write my review!!
🙂
I bought it on Kindle already and it was a super quick yet satisfying read. For the low kindle price, I absolutely recommend it.
Can’t wait for your book too!
Thanks for the crappy picture of the book! Makes it so much more legit now! Cannot WAIT to read yours. Will be wearing a pantyliner at the very least while I do (please understand the meaning of that). Thanks for the nice words!!
Oh my. Totally, unfortunately, get the meaning of that. (Tho I am holding in the laughter because I am not wearing said panty liner at the moment.)
I think we all understand the meaning of that!
I’ve pre-ordered your book!! I’ve decided that it will be my go to gift for all expectant mothers, as it truly covers everything you need to know 😉 Love your blog and can’t wait to get the book! I’ll have to check out this book too 🙂
I’m saving both books for a girl trip to Vegas in May (requires a lot of restraint). I can’t wait to be the loud laughing lady sitting pool side (in the shade, of course) enjoying her books and a sports bottle full of daiquiri.
That sounds divine and like a perfect combination.
I feel like our book is finally legit now that it’s been crappified. Thanks a million for the review!
You’re welcome! 🙂
Added to my wish list, thanks!
This is the season for hilarious books from some of my favorite bloggers! Thanks for the great review, and I can’t wait for your book!
🙂
I just pre-ordered your book from Amazon and the shipping to Europe (Belgium) was super reasonable, yay me yay you!
Oh Ma Gah. Our book got a craptastic review AND a crappy drawing?! What the what? Is this real life? I may print that crappy pic out and frame it. or, I might sell it on eBay. Hmmmm.. Nope. Keeping that shit ’til times get hard. Thanks!!
🙂
I will put this on my list to buy!!
Super generous of to review other books like this, I get another book to read and they sell another copy! Win win!
I preordered your book from amazon but after I read that one Ill nab this one too, I have to find out what two vaginas mean. Twin girls?
Ha ha, you’ll just have to wait and see.
Will check it out, sounds funny!
Funny you should say they love going together in the bathroom at the moment there together in my shopping cart at amazon 😛
It’s also available on kindle for under $5! !!!
Yay!!! I’m so glad you like it! I can’t wait to see your book!
🙂
Best “crappy” review I’ve ever received – I’m so glad you enjoyed my essay too – my two vaginas and I couldn’t be happier! Can’t wait to share your book as well! Thank you again for this!
🙂
Thanks for the suggestion, always looking for books to read!
Kudos on your Bloggie Award !
Thanks!!
I love a good crappy review 🙂 Thank you so much for the love and I am mid-crappy book. I have to stop every-so-often to rest my out-of-shape abs thanks to the laughter. Many thanks and here is to great success!!! xo
Wow, lady. Thanks!
Not only do I suddenly feel much cooler than I did before reading your review, I also pre-ordered your book on Kindle, so by tomorrow I will feel cooler and more laughy.
I should mention I’m high on Sudafed. Does this comment make me look stoned?
Seriously, thanks for the review and for the mention. I’m really flattered you like the book.
IJWTPA is completely hilarious. I may have done the one click order/pay/have it delivered to my Kindle thing when it came out. I’ll get yours on my Kindle, too, when I’m less broke. (My kid’s science fair project ate all my money.)
Thank you for the review and the craptastic pictures to go along with it. xoxo
Are these books available only in the states? I have been looking for both in stores here to no avail.

I ordered your book along with “I just want to pee alone” on your recommendation for my wife. We both religiously follow your blog and she swears you get some of your stories from spying on us. Anyway, we got them both last night and I’m half way thru IJWTPA and my wife hasn’t let me touch your book yet.
Books reviews are always necessary if you are buying a new book..
