Good news, Mindy Kaling fans! The actor, writer, and all-around icon will be bringing a whole new set of stories to us via Amazon.
Who doesn’t love Mindy Kaling? From her awesome work in front of and behind the camera on The Office and The Mindy Project, to her awesome acting in big screen films like Ocean’s 8 and A Wrinkle In Time, to her amazing books, you just can’t help but love her and the amazing way she brings stories to life.
It’s been a while since we’ve had a new book release from Kaling. Her last book, Why Not Me? came out in 2015, and we have just been dying for another book from her.
Thankfully, she’s got a pretty fantastic new project coming up with Amazon. As The Hollywood Reporter explains, Kaling will be releasing a new set of stories that will be free to Amazon Prime and Kindle Unlimited customers. The still-untitled essay collection is set to release in the summer of 2020.
Amazon will be releasing the new essay collection as an ebook and an Audible audiobook (narrated by Mindy Kaling herself, obviously). The book will follow the same vein as Why Not Me? and Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? as a collection of personal essays focusing on various aspects of Kaling’s life like being a single mom, balancing friendships when you have a daughter, and her experiences working with people like Reese Witherspoon, Sandra Bullock, and Oprah.
In a tweet, Kaling talked about the book and expressed her excitement with sharing the “secrets” of how she balances work and motherhood, and then followed it up with another tweet saying she didn’t have those secrets, but she’d be super excited to share them if she had them.
I mean, it would be so exciting to share those secrets. I don’t have them. Like, not even close. This morning I bribed my baby with a remote control to get my car keys back. But I do have funny stories about my life and I can’t wait for you to read them. https://t.co/ZY9qqGQkY5
