October 15, 2025

TITLE: What In the World?! (audiobook)

RATING: ★★★★

Summary (from Goodreads): For a long time, no one pulling the strings in the comedy world thought that an over-fifty woman from rural Tennessee could make it in the industry. But Leanne Morgan has defied the odds, reaching millions with her musings on menopause, Weight Watchers, and her opposites-attract relationship with her husband, Chuck. In her charming, Southern-accented voice, Morgan brings readers inside her quest to find her calling after so many years trying to figure out what that meant. Along the way, she discusses everything from growing up as a butcher’s daughter, to her strategy for landing a husband with health insurance, to the glories of aging and the comfort of wearing big old grannie panties. Equal parts warm and hilarious, this book is a must-read by one of comedy’s rising stars—reminding you that every time life leaves you asking, “What in the world?”, something good is going to come out of it someday.

REVIEW: I love Leanne Morgan. From the first time I stumbled upon one of her stand up comedy clips on Facebook and heard that sweet southern accent, I knew this was a woman I would be able to relate to, and I was right. Listening to her tell her story feels like sitting and chatting with a dear friend. I lost count of the many times I laughed out loud, and when her voice trembled with emotion while talking about her precious momma and her faith in God, I sobbed. I truly enjoyed learning more about Leanne’s life, and I would highly recommend her book to everyone.
