Ginger Mancino, Kid Comedian is out in the world! We had a sold-out book launch at BookPeople on June 23rd, and then I went to Denver to do more events with BookBar Press. If you’ve read it already, thank you! Please leave a review where reviews are left. If you haven’t yet read it, GO READ IT. You’ll like it, I promise.

Here are my buddies Eloise and Archie telling jokes at the Austin event (that was moderated by my pal Meredith Walker of Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls). They killed.

My other book, I’M WEARING TUNICS NOW, is out October 4th from Andrews McMeel/Simon & Schuster and you can pre-order it now! I know, there’s a lot of me this year, but then it’ll all be done and we can move on with our lives. (But Tunics is really funny and I know you’ll like this one, too.)

Two of my friends just launched books and I highly recommend them both. First, Florida Woman by Deb Rogers has cults, monkeys, suspense, and humor. It’s a great read.

Second, In Her Boots by KJ Dell’Antonia (author of the best-selling The Chicken Sisters) has farm life, mistaken identity, mother/daughter relationships, humor, and heart. Another great read!

Thanks for reading, and I hope you stay cool this summer. I’m trying my best.

"(500) Days of Summer and (0) Freaking Days of Winter" Hah. *Sob*

In the SF Bay Area it's not as hot as in Austin (currently 66º to your 96º), but I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone episode where first they're too hot and then find out they're actually freezing. (Or the opposite, I'm afraid to look it up.) Two nights ago, despite having all the windows open I couldn't sleep because the nighttime temperature never dropped below 64º F. I read somewhere recently that one of the problems of climate change is the human body's inability to sleep when its core body temperature never cools. I lived by the SF bay for 15 years, and loved the cold coastal nights. My litmus test is a beautiful 1990's Loro Piana cashmere winter coat I bought from a sale rack at Neiman Marcus. It was $500 for a $2500 coat. Number of days cold enough to wear that coat in the last years? ZERO. *Sob*

Stay as cool as you can. ❄️
