The Hall of Fame I Never Applied For (But I’ll Take It)

Turns out chaos, cocktails, and duct-taped optimism sell books.

I didn’t set out to become an Amazon Best Seller. Honestly, I just wanted to share a few ridiculous travel stories, some recipes you can cook in a van without setting it on fire, and a cocktail (or ten) to take the edge off. But here we are #1 in Cocktails, Top 10 in Desserts, and Top 100 in Travel Humor.

So if you’re wondering which books people couldn’t resist, here’s the official brag wall. These are the books that climbed Amazon’s charts while I was still wondering if my Wi-Fi would hold long enough to upload them.
