Winter Catalog Feature: Katie & HYPERBOLE AND A HALF

Katie “The Queen of Sweets” – Bargain Books Maven
Book: Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh

“I’m pretty sure Allie Brosh is a genius. She started her blog Hyperbole and a Half in 2009 and has a gift for storytelling. Her childhood and adult life are ripe with adventures. These aren’t the sort of adventures where pirates attack or you discover you’re awesome at juggling. Allie’s adventures are more like going to the bank, eating a whole cake and playing on the Internet. Incredibly simple yet expressive drawings (Allie describes them as having “precise crudeness”) accompany her stories. I’ve laughed, cried, cringed and commiserated as Allie related her dog problems, her trials with depression, her insecurities and her triumphs. I’ve been pushing Hyperbole on all my friends for year and now with this book, she’ll reach an even larger audience. So what are you waiting for? Get reading already!”

Six word autobiography: Seriously! Only six? But I’m loquacious.

Favorite word: Ennui

Least favorite word: Bromance

The book in your house you would save in a fire:
Signed 5oth anniversary edition of Animal Farm illustrated by Ralph Steadman. He drew awesome, scary pigs in it when I met him.

Who would be the more interesting dinner companion: Stephen Colbert OR Tina Fey?
Stephen Colbert
