“Graham is fast and furiously funny. . . . Where Graham leads, we will definitely follow.”—E! Online
Lauren Graham has graced countless television screens with her quick-witted characters and hilarious talk show appearances, earning a reputation as a pop culture icon who always has something to say. In her latest book, Have I Told You This Already?, Graham combines her signature sense of humor with down-to-earth storytelling. Graham shares personal stories about her life and career—from her early days spent pounding the pavement while waitressing in New York City, to living on her aunt’s couch during her first Los Angeles pilot season, to thoughts on aging gracefully in Hollywood.
In “R.I.P. Barneys New York” Graham writes about an early job as a salesperson at the legendary department store (and the time she inadvertently shoplifted from it); in “Ryan Gosling Cannot Confirm,” she attempts to navigate the unspoken rules of Hollywood hierarchies; in “Boobs of the ’90s” she worries her bras haven’t kept up with the times; and in “Actor-y Factory” she recounts what a day in the life of an actor looks like (unless you’re Brad Pitt).
Filled with surprising anecdotes, sage advice, and laugh-out-loud observations, these all-new, original essays showcase the winning charm and wry humor that have delighted Graham’s millions of fans.

It's a delight to listen to warm and witty actor Lauren Graham ("Gilmore Girls" and "Parenthood") share her insights and reminiscences of her family and professional life in her second memoir. While much of this brief collection details Graham's challenges and triumphs in her lengthy acting, directorial and screenwriting career, the most poignant moments depict the impact of Graham's mother having left her family when she was only 4. She also offers a balanced and humorous approach to aging. Indeed, humor infuses this entire audiobook, adding a light counterpoint to Graham's practical and adaptable nature, which comes through in her inviting narration. Graham's upbeat yet sensible performance makes the audiobook the best way to take in her story. M.J. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine -

Beloved Gilmore Girls actress Graham (Talking as Fast as I Can; In Conclusion, Don't Worry About It) returns to the publishing world with another fun collection of humorous essays chronicling her career, wellness camps, puppies, aging, and more. This collection is narrated by the actress herself, who is known for her fast-talking humor, candor, and comical view of the world. Filled with anecdotes, directing advice, shoplifting stories, eyebrow woes, and more, this isn't the average celebrity memoir, although there is some fun name-dropping and Hollywood stories. Readers are in for a treat with Graham's comedic timing, jovial voice, and candid "we could be friends" attitude. Graham's lively, warm narration makes this effervescent essay collection shine. VERDICT A lighthearted look behind the curtain into the life and mind of one of today's most down-to-earth celebrities. Highly recommended; share with fans of smart and funny celebrity memoirs such as Amy Schumer's The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo or Mindy Kaling's Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns).--Erin Cataldi
