Such a Pretty Fat by Jen Lancaster6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() I’ve read all of Jen Lancaster’s books except for her most recent one, Jeneration X, and I was a pretty big fan at first. Such a Pretty Fat is her third memoir, written on an entirely new topic: what it took for Lancaster, a woman with prodigious vanity and healthy self-esteem, to realize that she’s overweight, and her subsequent attempts to get healthy. She followed that up with Bright Lights, Big Ass. Her writing voice was so original, witty and opinionated that she caught the attention of publishers and eventually turned the blog posts into her very successful first memoir, Bitter is the New Black. During their long-term unemployment, Lancaster began blogging about her experiences at Jennsylvania. For those of you unfamiliar with Jen Lancaster, she and her husband were dot-com success stories whose reign ended suddenly when the bubble burst. ![]()

Five weeks in a balloon by Jules Verne6/29/2023 ![]() Subsequently, he sets out on the daring escapade together with his trusted servant Joe and his friend Richard Kennedy, as they aim to traverse the continent from the east to the west coast. The journey across Africa in itself presents quite the challenge, let alone attempting the dangerous expedition on an ingenious invention never before tested. Fergusson continues to put forward his calculations on just how the trip is to be carried out, including details on the how the balloon filled with hydrogen would work.

First published in 1863, Five Weeks in a Balloon depicts an insightful journey undertaken by a group of intrepid explorers into the partly uncharted African continent, as they aim to explore its exotic wonders. ![]()
