It is time for another search of our TBR shelves/piles for those sadly neglected books from the past. Carole’s Random Life in Books is hosting this event.
Today’s feature is a book I bought in June 2016: Drinking Closer to Home, by Jessica Anya Blau.

I don’t remember why I picked it, but the idea of being able to drink close to home was appealing at the time! LOL. Here’s the description.

“So raw and funny I wanted to read parts aloud to strangers.” —Dylan Landis, author of Normal People Don’t Live Like This
From Jessica Anya Blau, critically-acclaimed author of The Summer of Naked Swim Parties and Mary Jane, a coming-of-age novel about growing up and learning to love your insane family. Drinking Closer to Home is a poignant and funny exploration of one family’s over-the-top eccentricities—a book Ron Tanner calls “heartfelt and hilarious.”

What have you overlooked on your shelves?

I picked a book I got in 2016, too. Quirky family stories always appeal to me.
