Mostly Sunny audiobook

I was happily reading my book club book when I got distracted by a shiny object. That object was Janice Dean’s memoir, Mostly Sunny. I was just going to see what it was all about so I decided to read just a few pages. Bad move! I devoured it in less than a day. This book tells the story of a truly courageous woman. All the struggles and achievements in her life are told with an honest and compassionate grace. Thank you for sharing your life with us, Janice. You are amazing!Now back to my regularly scheduled programming ...

I love Janice Dean. I watch her every morning on Fox & Friends! She is a breath of fresh air to start your day. Mostly Sunny was a great read. A mix of happy and sad, things I knew and many surprises. I loved her openness and honesty about anxiety and her illness MS. How many of us have friends and family who are fighting these battles. As soon as I finished reading Mostly Sunny I gave it to my daughter to read and I have several more friends who want to borrow my copy. Now I’ll have to get her children’s books for my grandchildren!

Dean deftly balances the stormy with the sunny in her memoir. She details some harrowing stuff, including her father departing on the family, a home invasion earlier in her career, battles with MS and her interactions with former Fox News boss Roger Ailes. Through it all, the Fox News meteorologist stays positive. There are some funny bits too, such as Dean's work in classic rock radio early in her career, and jumping onstage with Lynyrd Skynyrd more recently to sing backup in NY. Dean is very open, especially for a public figure, and it offers a compelling look at a complex but eminently likable TV personality.

Very upbeat and positive book. Janice Dean has lived an interesting life in front of the cable cameras and behind the radio microphone. Along the way , her sunny outlook has been tested by MS , Sexual harassment on the job , and chaotic homelife. Presently, Janice shares her joy in living in this chart of her life thus far. Good reading!

(3.8)I really hate rating autobiographies because it's a person's feelings and that's pretty subjective. I did like learning about her varied work history and appreciated how, despite being in a position to speak of a lot of bad people, she tried to be fair about people and acknowledged both the good and bad in the people she discussed.Recommended 14+ for mentions of almost sexual assault, mild language, and other topics not appropriate for younger readers.

This book is soooo very good. I have always enjoyed watching Janice on Fox News and this book backs up the fact that she is a real person, just as you see on TV.This is a must read!

Great book!Loved this book! Loved Janice Dean's honesty and candor. Her struggle with MS very interesting. It was just a really good book that I read straight through. Will recommend .

I absolutely LOVED this book. I would have read it in one sitting if I would not have had to go to bed. I have been a fan of Janice Dean the Weather Machine for a while and I was curious to read about her MS diagnosis. I had a middle school teacher with MS and currently have a family member with it. Janice was born in Canada, which has one of the highest rates of MS in the world. This book did jump around a lot which was sometimes confusing. One of the things I loved though was her talking about seeing a therapist. I feel like everyone should have a therapist and she had a whole chapter about it. "For me, Judy was a personal trainer for my brain to strengthen my mental muscles." Her husband is a NY firefighter and he was there on 9/11. How they got together is crazy and the universe had to align in all the right ways. She always wanted to be a journalist and actually started in the radio DJ biz. Unfortunately her big NYC break was working for Don Imus, a complete jerk! Then she went to Fox News and Roger Ailes, who was a creep, although he did have some nice tendencies. Whenever he was inappropriate to her she would just make a joke and laugh it off. Unfortunately, other women could not do the same. One of the shocking things to me was that reporter John Roberts, who was on CBS and now FOX, was a VJ for Canada's MTV called MuchMusic. I had to youtube it. That is crazy!

Excellent ReadThis is one of the best human interest books that I have read in years. I have watched Janice Dean on Fox for as long as she has been there. The way she told her life story put me into many of her scenes with joy and sorrow in my heart. I never felt sympathy for her but I did feel empathy. I have held my precious sister-in-laws hands and prayed with her when she was in so much pain & weary with MS. Janice, if you read this my love, I pray for you and your lovely family daily. You are a bowl of sunshine, even when it’s raining. Can’t wait until you write the adult book.

A book with a sliver lining. Even in her not so pleasant moments in life Janice Dean still smiles her rays of sunshine. I have never seen or met a more positive person, my day always goes better when I've seen her on Fox. She has overcome some tragedies most of us cannot even fathom, a hero to all women and to men and women alike who suffer from MS. I actually listened to the audiobook version and enjoyed it more being narrated by Janice herself. Thank you Janice for telling your story and I'm looking forward to your next book.

Mostly Sunny is very inspirational. It's partly so because of the interesting and touching personal stories that Janice Dean tells in her book, but I think it's Dean’s enthusiasm for life what creates such a positive effect. The book impressed me as much as Secret Techniques for Controlling Sadness, Anger, Fear, Anxiety, and Other Emotions by Vlad Koros did, which also has this strange enthusiastic drive through thoughts and feelings that inspires. I highly recommend both these books.

I don't read biographies or memoirs generally. Since I watch this nice weather lady on Fox news I thought I'd give it a try. It was interesting to get a glimpse into the private life of someone I see on TV every day, with her sunny, fun, kind demeanour. It was also fun to read about someone who comes from Ottawa who made it big on the south side of the border. A sweet and gentle read, I did enjoy it.

Was the best non fiction book I have read in a long time. I truly enjoyed her zest for life and her transparency through all of life’s experiences. Her attitude gives a lot of hope to others struggling with illnesses like MS. I admire the truth and logic she used when facing workplace harassment. Sometimes in life you just have to grin and bear it for a season. I appreciate her openness on using a counselor to deal with hard issues. Overall a great read!!!

Wonderful read and truly inspiring! Janice Dean lays it all out there for us to read, and as the book is titled, she reminds us that life is Mostly Sunny, and your attitude makes all the difference. This inspires me to live with a sunnier attitude towards all challenges life brings.

This was a fun, quick read. I don't watch any news, so I'm not familiar with Janice Dean ("the weather machine"!), but she seemed like a fun, sunny sort of person who cares about others and always tries to do the right thing. This memoir is not deep, but she does tell her story with honesty, which is hard to do given some of the things she's been through.No complaints here!

Who doesn't love Janice Dean the Weather Machine!! Her book was a bit surprising because it showed some sides to her I wasn't expecting. But - she is a terrific person and wrote a great book with lots of feelings and honesty. It was fun to read about the person, not just the tv personality. There's lots of personal details and insights into her and her family.

Mostly Sunny, for sure!A truly enjoyable & uplifting book. Fox & Friends weather forecaster, shares how her career started in Ottawa & ended up in New York. Stories about her family, jobs & disappointments bring tears & laughter. Her battle with MS is brutally honest & eye opening. Excellent book.
