This is a fun and naughty spin on a gratitude journal. I could see myself gifting this to the "new" adults in my life or friends especially during this time in our life. It is difficult daily trying to think of what I am grateful for with the dark cloud of pandemic overhead. I loved some of the activities and thought it was well put together with daily prompts that are simple enough to incorporate into your daily routine for showing gratitude. It printed perfectly to add to my planner daily in the digital format. I could see this accompanying my planner in the future. Thank you NetGalley and Remington Books for the eARC in exchange for honest feedback.

The reading programs I use were not compatible with the format of this book. I was not able to read it.

Such a great little journal with non-common prompts s to complete at your own pace. I read all the prompts and I can’t wait to start writing down my answers. I will be buying the physical version as it is nos as easy with the digital format unless the file can be converted to a notebook in one of the iPad programs.

Thanks for providing me with an advanced copy.

There are so many self help book out there, like thousands. This book is not like the other. Other books will tell you that you need to do this or that. They give you a list of things. This book is different in the way it makes you look inside yourself. This book is not one that you can read through in one sitting. It is one that makes you think about the different times in your life bad, good, and ordinary. It takes those times and helps you to look at them through a different lens. Anyone can see the bad that happens, but how many can see the “silver lining”? That’s one of the things that are in this book. Once you have a bad time in life we usually want to forget it completely. This book forces you to look back at it, but maybe through the lens of wisdom since time has passed. It’s amazing what a difference time makes.
It is very eye opening when you remember and write things down that you had almost completely forgotten. This book is one that once you finish it will be read over and over again. It will be a reminder that you made it through the tough times and were stronger than you thought. That you have so much around you to be grateful for, and helps you look at events in the future through a different lens because you have done the internal searching through this book. It changes your perspective.

This is a spruced up gratitude journal that I really enjoy. It has wonderful writing prompts, beautiful prints, and inspirational quotes.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

Yes, yes, I feel down to my last fuck. With this stay at home and everything is cancelled my mental health is now so down in the dumps I wonder if I will get back again with still many weeks of isolation and no plans in the future due to uncertainty how long this will take. *sighs* So yes, I could use this book and I had to press that read now button. Give me this book! My fucks are given!

It doesn't entirely work as an ebook though. This is a book with quotes and with assignments. Those 201 reasons to give a shit? Those are reasons YOU as the reader have to fill in. I hadn't expected that, or well, I kind of did but I had thought there would be more to it then filling in blanks. Since I cannot fill in blanks in an ebooks, I just did it all in my mind, at least those I could do, some I just had no clue what to fill in or it was just not something I do, and some are just not possible with today's situation. But a lot of them I filled in! And I have to say that while it may not have the satisfying feel you may get when you truly fill it in... I did feel better after reading this book and doing the assignments. I saw a bit more light in my life. Saw that there were things that I should hold on to in these days that my mind just seems to keep forgetting. Thank you book! Thank you author.

I loved the freshness and colours in this book, it really fits with the positivity that this book is trying to give. I loved reading the quotes and I was nodding along with several of them as I agreed.

All in all, this is one book that I really liked and that was definitely a help in these days. I would recommend it to everyone.

This book was a fun, light-hearted way to make you as an individual realize that you should be more grateful and give a crap about you life and your surroundings. It's filled with several quotes to inspire and also journal entries to really have you invest time in thinking about how you could be more mindful and grateful. I enjoyed this book and I would definitely read it again.

Everyone has days when nothing goes right. It rains on your great hair day, turning it into a bad hair day. Your laptop keeps showing the updating circle of death that never stops. It is times like these that challenge your ability to give a f*ck.

F*cks to Give is a hilarious guided journal that gives you 201 reasons to give a f*ck again. This would be a super cute gift for yourself or for any twenty-something lady in your life who doesn’t mind the colorful language.

Thank you to Girl Friday Productions, Remington8 Books, and NetGalley for the electronic ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Right now, I need a lot of self-help because I’ve been sliding down the tubes physically, emotionally, and psychologically. But I can’t handle the majority of the magical thinking, positive attitude, hyper optimistic stuff that is out there. My style is more along the lines of the Knock Knock Affirmators, which combines humorous and practical advice with journaling exercises. So when I read the publisher’s blurb for this book on NetGalley and Goodreads, I knew I had to have it. And I was so excited to be approved for this book that I interrupted the 350+ page book I had in progress (which was just starting to get good) to start on it.

The two-page introduction lays out the simple premise of the book: sometimes we’re so ground down by life that we can’t find anything to care about; therefore, this book is designed to help us remember that there truly are things out there that are worth our care, concern, and gratitude. Except the introduction explains its premise with much more humor (and profanity) than I just did.

The journaling exercises include ones that are retrospective (think of an occasion when...), introspective (reflect on your feelings/attitudes/actions...) and prospective (imagine what you could do...). For example, one exercise has you look into your pet’s eyes and then journal three things you love about them plus one thing you can do to make their life better. Other short and light exercises have you simply write down five internet sites that expose glimmers of hope in the world, ten simple pleasures that you can enjoy right now, or your three favorite books. But some of the exercises are quite heavy: happy memories and life lessons from younger years, things you love about yourself, times of epic failure, and the like.

Interspersed among the exercises are brightly colored full page optimistic quotes from the likes of Barack Obama, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sylvia Plath, and a whole bunch of names that I’m too in between to recognize. These quotes typically enlighten the exercise right before it. But they make for good breaks in the sometimes intense journaling. Occasionally there will also be a page with information about achieving wellness: how dressing well helps you to think well, fifteen minute cleaning tasks, ideas for motivation to get stuff done, and so forth.

Judging by the exercises, quotes, and general colorful layout, I’d say that the target audience for this book is women between twenty and forty. There’s a lot of profanity and slang in the book, but not so much for that demographic to be appalled. In fact, it adds to the humor factor. There’s no presumption of children (hence the pet gazing exercise) or of a long term partner. There is presumption of a having grown up in a somewhat traditional family, but those exercises can be stretched to suit any family unit. There is also a presumption of having a strong social structure (questions like who is your sister from another mister and your brother from another mother). But overall, I’d say anyone with an open mind and a willingness to be grateful could benefit from working through this book. If you’re hard of heart, this book isn’t going to crack your cynicism because of the temptation to give snarky cynical answers to the light hearted exercises.

With some minor adaption, this book could be successfully used in talk therapy sessions. Even the “listing” exercises offer discussion prompts that could be managed into gateways to broader issues and possible resolutions.

My biggest problem with this book is that I can’t figure out where or how to buy a paper copy. You really need a paper copy to write in, doodle in, carry around, and dog ear. This is so perfect for so many people in my life - especially given the current circumstances - that I’d love to buy a dozen copies and send them across the globe with notes of hope and affection.

F*cks to Give by Remington8 Books is a gratitude journal with lots of sass and plenty of attitude. Essentially a workbook, readers are prompted to record their thoughts on everything from their latest random act of kindness, to a time when they "clapped back" at online trolls. While I wouldn't normally be drawn to the process of journaling, the current state of the world has placed us all in a position where we are evaluating our priorities and, perhaps for the first time in a long time, we have the leisure to reflect on the people and things in our everyday lives for which we are truly grateful. I believe that this book will be beneficial to many who are now taking the time to reassess exactly what is worth giving a sh*t about.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Girl Friday Productions for the opportunity to read this ARC.

First of all, thank you Netgalley and Girl Friday Productions for this FANTASTIC self-help journal. I love this journal! I probably have an addiction to self-help journals but this one just one of my new favorites. Each section is filled with realist points and the reader must respond in a reflective manner. I definitely enjoyed going through the prompts and thinking about what truly makes me happy. The best prompt was where we are to think about a place that makes us happy. Typically, a journal would just require you to write a little tidbit about it but 'F*cks to Give' takes it one step further by requiring us to describe the place and how it makes us feel. This journal is truly a gem and I can't wait to fill out the whole thing in its entirety! I think I'll be sad when I've competed the journal but I can always use a blank spiral notebook to respond to the prompts each year. Maybe the answers will change drastically depending on my perspective!

What a cute little book! This is a hip version of a gratitude journal and the prompts, colors, and activities are a lot of fun. Tons of naughty language in this so be prepared but this would make a great gift for a older teen, graduate or young adult.

Trendy. Not your basic journal. Fun. There are prompts such as a time you "clapped back" at someone on social media, how did it make you feel? Journal your favorite meme. Write about the banter you had with a stranger in your neighborhood. Really timely. Very fun. Would make a great "time capsule" idea. I imagine if George Orwell had found this journal (filled up) he would be very busy looking up phrases.
And of course, if the title bothers you, this book is probably not for you.
