Why i chose Bossypants

I chose to read the book Bossypants by Tina Fey. I chose this book because it's by one of my favorite actresses Tina Fey, who I think is absolutely hilarious. Of course I could have read many other comedians books but what really stuck out to me was the cover. I know we're not supposed to judge a book by its cover but I did. The cover has Tina resting her head on her arms, except they aren't her arms, they're a mans which looks completely ridiculous but also quite hilarious.

 Another thing about the book that stuck out to me was the title. Bossypants, it sounds like something a little kid would say when complaining about one of their siblings. Tina, being a mother has probably heard this word bossypants many times from the mouths of her own children where is where she probably got the inspiration for the title.
