Life happens. Bad Days happen. This wonderful book of short stories from diverse authors brings smiles and laughter to "Bad Day" moments in life. I found myself laughing out loud many times as I read these stories. Looking forward to volume 2.

We all have had bad days. While the bad memories of some never disappear, the passage of time most often allows us to look back at many of those days and laugh. Most of the 90+ stories in The Bad Day Book allow us to laugh along with the authors and to visualize ourselves in similar situations. I have found that reading two or three TBDB posts per day is time well spent.

We all need a little more humor in our lives! Oh, my! This had me giggling, laughing, and feeling a whole lot lighter. Amid the chaos of the world, I genuinely appreciate stories that offer a bit of levity, ones that remind us to laugh at the less than ideal conditions that we encounter. This book offers a great variety of well-crafted stories! I got this book because I knew one of the writers, Don Drewniak, and I am so glad I did. Can't wait for the next edition! Helpful
