You Deserve A Drink: Boozy Misadventures and Tales of Debauchery ~ Mamie Hart


Mamrie Hart is a drinking star with a YouTube problem. As host of the bady cult hit You Deserve A Drink. Hart has been entertaining viewers with her signature concoction of tasty libations and raunchy puns since 2011. Finally, Hart has compiled her best drinking stories - and worst hangovers - into one hilarious volume. From the spring break where she and her girlfriends avoided tan lines by staying at an all-male gay nudist resort, to the bachelorette party where she accidentally hired a sixty-year-old meth head to teach the group pole dancing, to the time she lit herself on fire during a Flaming Lips concert. Hart accompanies each story with an original cocktail recipe, ensuring that You Deserve A Drink is as useful as it is entertaining. 

Book Review:

I have been really into memoirs of those that I love for about the past year. Now out of all of the memoirs that I have read this year, Mamrie's is the TMI (To Much Information) of all memoirs. I love it so much because it is hilarious and honest with horrible puns that are so horrible they are hilarious. So hilarious that your cheeks hurt from smiling so much and your abs hurt from laughing so hard! 

Now I am 17 so it is not legal for me to dink but believe me when I can I plan on trying out these recipes and playing the drinking game that is the entire book! I don't plan on being a heavy drinker or anything but there are times where you just need to let loose and have some fun that you won't remember the next morning. 

Now, her writing was impeccable. It felt like I was watching her videos. She would cross out words and say something different (more appropriate), had a safe word to have her family stop reading, and had her signature jokes. Ay-Oh! I also loved that she included pictures, even though they were black and white. It really was just an amazing read!

Favorite Quotes:

"I spent my days spread-eagle in front of a fan, with bright pink calamine lotion slathered all over my undercarriage. If you walked into my room, you'd think I was giving birth to a Pepto-Bismol baby."

I couldn't stop laughing when I read this line! It reminded me so much of Camp Takota (which you should watch if you haven't, it's on Netflix).

TBR Update/ Book Haul

So my package from Amazon recently arrived and I will definitely be reading these books soon.


Just Arrived:



Catelynn and Tyler are the only couple from MTV's Teen Mom that I every respected and outwardly enjoyed. I loved the decision they made for themselves and Carly. I was never an avid watcher of the show  but I have watched some clips of the two on YouTube and follow them on social media. Nova is adorable. I just love what they stand for. And as I've mentioned in a previous post, I want to adopt through an open adoption one day.


I love Grace but I've never been a fan of self help books. But being as I am heading into my senior year of High School and will soon be entering the "real world" I figured it was about time that I read one. Maybe it will help, you know? And I figured that Grace would give me advice in a non condescending way with lots of comedy. The book is gorgeous. I love all of the color. The book is full of pictures and gorgeous pages. 


Along the same lines as what I said about Grace's book. But this time I have a best friend who has read the book and he recommended it to me. He said that it would be the best thing for me to read if it was the last thing that I read. So yeah.



After seeing some vlogs with Joey and his family I really wanted to know more about his journey. I want to know more about growing up with his mom's addictions and his autistic brother. My life has been anything but easy and I have experienced way more that I should have, so I think that this will be a very touching read for me. 

Pre-Ordered:


I love Dan and Phil so much. It doesn't matter to me, if they are best friends, secret lovers, or just plain boyfriends. I just love them. I love the individually and together because they are hilarious all around. 


I find Marcus so interesting. He seems to confident and insecure all at the same time and I want to know more. 


Now this isn't a memoir like the rest of these books but I read the first Girl Online and I absolutely loved it. I love the characters and the writing. The writing is easy to read and comprehend, there isn't much challenge to it at all, but I find that the story is so interesting that I need to read more. I will do a book review of the first one because I will definitely reread that before I dive into this one.


Who wouldn't pre-order this? It is the king of YouTube in book form. I mean seriously.

Already Own:


I am in love with Connor Franta. I have loved his videos for years. He pulled me out of a slump when I really needed it. So I have read his book thoroughly and when I say thoroughly, I mean it. I highlighted all of my favorite lines and then used sticky tabs so that I could open the book easily to them. My friend has had the book for a bit now and has loved it just as much as I do. She will be giving it back to me soon and I will definitely be reading it again. It is just so gorgeous, the pictures are beautiful, and his words are compelling. So be expecting a review on that.  


It is an amazing contemporary novel and I will definitely be reading it again before I dive into the second one. I love Zoe so much. 


 I read this book in 9th grade. I watched the movie the weekend it came out with some amazing friends and have probably re-watched it 100+ times. But I just need to read it again. So expect a review on that at some point and maybe I will watch the movie again and do a comparison too.
