by Mindy Kaling
222 pages

This is a non-fiction book containing biographical essays pertaining to Mindy Kaling's life.  Mindy Kaling, best known for her role as Kelly on NBC show The Office.  Kaling, in addition to being an actor, is also a writer and producer for The Office.  This book recounts humorous episodes from her life.  It also contains lists and essays about Kaling's own thoughts and opinions.  She jumps around in time, and some essays are rather random, so this is not a straightforward biography.  Overall, Kaling is humorous and down-to-earth.  You don't necessarily expect someone so successful to be so real.

This is definitely a light read.  It's one of those books you can either read in one-sitting or read over several weeks.  It's a nice book to read while indulging in your favorite treat/beverage while hanging around the house in your pj's.
