5.0 out of 5 stars A humorous reality check that laughs with you!, April 14, 2004

This review is from: Caffeinated Ponderings: On Life, Laughter and Lattes (Paperback)

My morning, mid morning, afternoon, late afternoon, and evening (did I miss any?) coffee breaks just aren't the same without a healthy topping of humor--and when a group of gal pals can't gather with me to share the often hilarious details of their lives, Caffeinated Ponderings is a refreshing companion that never ceases to make me laugh out loud as I struggle to keep the last sip contained in my mouth.

Shana is a modern day Erma Bombeck, with non-stop whimsical wit and hysterical humor wrapped into this delicious book. Everyone will relate to and relish her ponderings on life in today's society. Caffeinated Ponderings is a must read with your daily coffee --her words are the cream and sugar behind the best latte you've ever had."

This review is from: Caffeinated Ponderings: On Life, Laughter and Lattes (Hardcover)

Great book, really cute and funny. I found myself chuckeling out loud while reading. I totally realted to many of the tales talked about in this book. I felt like I was sitting at coffee with my lady friends listening to the stories being told and laughing. Thanks Shana, I'm so glad to know I am not the only one who is warped after too many Latte's (or Mocha's). She really knows how to touch on the real things in life and make you laugh.

This author has a great style of writing and everything she writes about encompasses some aspect of your life. It is a fun way to look at some of the mishaps in our lives-- and to have a good laugh; many times at ourselves.
