Overview Ratings & Reviews

“ISHues” is the follow up book tothe author’s smash conversation igniter, “Ish.” Inspired by pithy, memorablephrases she saw stenciled on the wall of a department store and her own lifehappenings,

Griffin began writing thecollection of provoking sayings. Both books are filled with a pinch of dry wit,a dash of sarcasm and bundles of humor that will prove to be an enjoyablereading experience for all ages.

The book’s title begs thequestion, “What is ‘Ish?” The author defines ‘Ish as a random, eclecticstatement

intended to provoke action oremotion - whether amusement, frustration, happiness or angst. ‘Ish can also be anywanton expression or point of view that creates a gust of thought.

From arguably, usable advice tosatirical comments, humorous one-liners and simple nuggets of wisdom,

“ISHues - A Second Helping of Del’Ishcious‘Ish,” has plenty of banter to dish. The book picks up at ‘Ish #161, sharing145 more juicy statements like, ‘Ish #176, “Parting your lips softly duringa job interview is not enough to camouflage your sterling silver tongue ring.” ‘Ish#263 cautions, “Liking (not loving) your spouse is the key to great lovemaking.” Another that is sure to influence decision making is ‘Ish #285, “Ifyour therapist is a chain smoker and has involuntary face twitches, switchseats.” Readers will ROTF, LOL, STH (shake their heads) and scream OMGas they gobble up this heaping, second helping of ‘ISHues.”

The Story Behind This Book

I was shopping one day and saw a stenciled phrase on the wall of a clothing store that read: “Don’t leave your house until your hair is right,” and “cross your legs knee over knee”. I instinctively thought to myself, I could write a crap load of thoughtful, provocative and humorous sayings like that. From that night, over the next 3-6 months, I began journaling phrases inspired by that wall and fueled by my life’s happenings.

*****5 out of 5 Stars “Tellin 'Ish like it is!”
Not since "The Book of Awesome," have I enjoyed reading something so entertaining, poignant & down right FUNNY! Author Regina Griffin, makes you Laugh Out Loud & reevaluate your actions - page after page. You find yourself quoting the quibs, as if they are the word of the day. Remember ‘Ish #19 “If your diet soda has zero calories, zero sugar &
zero fat, what the hell are you drinking?"
