Böcker av D a Reed

From award-winning author D.A. Reed comes Chicken Butthair: Tales of an Overcaffeinated Human - a collection of humorous essays that will simultaneously charm and reassure you that "winging it" through this crazy journey called life is normal and to be embraced rather than feared. Reed draws on her years of experience as an uncoordinated human, a directionally inept navigator of...everything, and her magnetic ability to attract any and all embarrassing circumstances to her doorstep, to bring laughter and inspiration into your home. Fans of Reed's young adult novels will find that same heart, soul-stirring observations, and characteristically dry humor in Chicken Butthair. In Reed's own words, "Hold on to your shorts" - it's going to be a crazy ride! Bonus Material: Don't miss the never-before-published humorous short story, Curiously Dead, included at the end of this book and crafted specifically for your enjoyment by D.A. Reed!
