Houseplants and Their Fucked-Up Thoughts: P.S. They Hate You by Carlyle Christoff

Available now

Yes, I totally clicked on this book for its title and I’m not going to feel bad about it. While perusing the spring catalog I stumbled across this gem and instantly thought of my sister. She’s a Fancy Plant Lady and I know better than to try and buy her actual plants as gifts. Her bookish tastes also run towards humor so I knew this would be a perfect fit for her.

Spoiler, she hasn’t seen the book yet but I know she’ll love it.

The book is organized into three sections: The Popular Crowd, The Drama Queens, and The Bitches. Each plant is given a witty description, watering instructions, and if it’s edible or not. It’s snotty, snooty tone is quite funny and it’s small, consistent color palette is very pretty and soothing. I showed it to the Hubs and he spent a good 20 minutes flipping through it and reading aloud his favorite parts.

Perfect for giving as a gift or to set out on a (probably child-free) living room coffee table, this is a book that is certain to elicit giggles.
