The Joy of Leaving Your Sh*t All Over the Place… by Jennifer McCartney

This read like a long bit during a stand-up routine. It's a sarcastic, sweary reaction to The Life Changing Magic of Tidying up and its ilk, and it made me smile. She's saying the same thing all the way through, but she's funny, and the book is short, so I didn't mind.
A fun bathroom book to give to friends who don't mind messes or swear words.

The Joy of Leaving Your Sh*t All Over the Place… by Jennifer McCartney

Like looking in a mirror. Wonderful and strangely reassuring. Sorry this is so short - I need to go buy more books.
