Let's Pretend This Never Happened
by Jenny Lawson(Amy Einhorn, hardcover, $25.95, **Signed copies available**)

You know how they say that a great storyteller exaggerates just enough? Well, Jenny Lawson takes her life stories over the top, and the result is probably the funniest book I have ever read. I was wiping tears from my face as I read her account of being stabbed in the face by a serial killer. I know, it doesn't sound funny . . . but trust me on this. By the time you finish this book, Jenny will be your best and funniest friend, and your conversations will be full of references to Beyonce, the metal chicken, and James Garfield, a taxidermied wild boar - it's that contagious. A May 2012 Indie Next Pick.
