BUFFERING BY HANNAH HART
Creator of the My Drunk Kitchen series, Hannah
Hart is no stranger to getting deep with her viewers.
However, for the most part, this comes as brief asides
or overarching morals explained as she hilariously
stumbles her way through baking and booze. In her
autobiographical essay compilation, “Buffering,”
Hart expands on the beliefs and lessons she holds
dear to heart and the trials and tribulations that
taught them to her. The sincere nature contrasts with
the general tone of her My Drunk Kitchen series (al-
though not entirely with her more recent deviations
from these videos), but it never feels out of place or
forced. Instead, “Buffering” lets fans of Hart get a
deeper look into the aspects of her life that they know
are there but are less commonly expounded upon.
YOU DESERVE A DRINK BY MAMRIE HART
Mamrie Hart (no blood relation to the above) offered
a different take on memoirs in “You Deserve A Drink,”
named after her video series wherein she dedicates
personalized cocktails to whoever she deems deserv-
ing and partakes in them as she throws out pun after
pun. Rather than showing off the polished portions
of her life, Hart works to highlight the rowdier times,
not shying away from any story she finds too funny to
keep to herself. “You Deserve A Drink” earns its sub-
title — Boozy Misadventures and Tales of Debauchery
— as Hart recounts stories of concerts and couch-
surfing, tequila and topless tuesdays, all interspersed
with detailed instructions for making some of her
signature cocktails, helping readers simultaneously
drink and laugh themselves silly all throughout her
stories. Hart mixes equal parts wit, wine and wonder-
ful tales, ending up with the perfect blend of every-
thing she has made her channel to be.GUIDES
